		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently had to study a lot of stuff about Denmark for a test I had to do. So I decided to put some of it here, in point form. Here&#8217;s a bit of Denmark&#8217;s history. Denmark is a small country today (over 220 times smaller than the USA), but during the Viking era (ca. [...]]]></description>

Imagine, as a teenage boy, walking about in a wondrous citadel of fantasy and carnal desire, a plenitude of goddesses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was one of the first Danish words I learned before coming to Denmark. The person who taught me the word looked at me very earnestly and said &#8220;Mark, in Denmark we have this thing called &#8216;hygge&#8217;&#8221;. In the most reverend of tones he laid out the concept for me, and like a sorcerer&#8217;s apprentice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife has a Japanese friend who studied Danish at the University of Tokyo, and then came to Denmark to study the Danish education system. Most Danes don&#8217;t see any point in anyone taking such an abstract interest in their language. It would be understandable if she came here on holiday and then got hooked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve briefly touched on this topic in previous posts, but it warrants a hearing of its own because it is an aspect of Danish culture that is probably going to make the most initial impact on you. Happiest people? I spoke with a Danish woman recently who was so annoyed with her mother&#8217;s overbearing and [...]]]></description>

The mechanisms for this mind-broadening lie in the combination of the fact that we are all deeply cultural beings and that living in a strange land will grab you by the back of your neck and shake you out of everything you&#8217;ve ever imagined yourself to [...]]]></description>
