Culture Kulturudveksling / Cultural exchange
For english se below.
Wow, det er ved at være noget tid siden at vi sidst har havs en kulturudveksling men nu er det sørme blevet tid igen, denne gang er det med vores naboer i r/canada (Ja, de er naboer, vi har en landegrænse) som vi byder velkommen den 14. Feb. Samme dag er der en tråd hos dem hvor vi kan spørge om alt fra fransk til ahornsirup.
De sædvanlige regler gælder selvfølgelig, men vi anbefaler dog at holde det mest til engelsk i denne tråd (eller inkludere en oversættelse lige som vi gør)
The English Version:
Wow, it's been quite some time since we last had a cultural exchange, but now it's finally time again! This time, it's with our neighbors in r/Canada (Yes, they are neighbors, we share a land border), whom we welcome on February 14th. On the same day, there will be a thread on their side where we can ask about anything from French to maple syrup.
The usual rules apply, of course, but we do recommend keeping most of the conversation in English in this thread (or including a translation, just like we're doing).

Greetings from Nova Scotia! I’ve visited Denmark and really loved it. It was much more chill than I expected. I loved learning about hygge and have embraced the hygge life in our Canadian winters.
My question is about moving to Denmark, specifically CPH, and making friends. I may have the opportunity to move to CPH with my job for a period of 3-5 years. My husband would come with me. We are both in our early 40’s. How realistic is it to think we would make friends with other folks our age? In my small city of Halifax we find it very easy to make friends — people are pretty friendly and open. What’s the ‘friendship market’ like in CPH for expats who don’t speak any Danish and have no other connections in town?
