What is life like in Denmark?

Many students choose to study in Denmark, so what is the local life of Danes? Let's take a look! Welcome to reading.

The life of Danish aborigines

First, the national happiness index is high.

Denmark is rated as the happiest country in the world because its people live a rich and happy life. According to a survey, the four Nordic countries, led by Denmark, occupy the top five in the evaluation of "the happiest countries and regions in the world" because the people in these countries are well-off.

Second, the old couple who hang happiness on their faces

According to the ranking, the top five countries are Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, which are not only geographically close, but also highly prosperous. Gallup pointed out that the basic needs of citizens in these countries have been greatly met, so they are relatively happy.

Third, people live a rich life.

According to the economic figures of the US Central Intelligence Agency about 227 countries, Denmark's per capita GDP in 2009 was $36,000, which was better than other 196 countries.

People always use "cement forest" to describe a metropolis, and urbanites always seem cold and lonely. In Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, the same big city has the simplicity of the countryside.

Fourth, Denmark's "life code"

In the ranking of "Global Happiness Index" and "World Happiness Database", Danes' happiness often ranks among the top in the world. After a few days in Denmark, I finally realized the Danish "code of life".

Five, supermarket environmental protection signs

It is said that Denmark is a high welfare country, and its people live a well-off life, so there is a strong sense of trust between people, which is a bit like "the road is not picked up, and the door is not closed at night". In an ordinary supermarket on the street of Copenhagen, I lined up to check out, only to find that there was no cashier at the cashier's desk here, and customers consciously lined up at the cashier's desk and paid for themselves.

Sixth, the town time.

An old lady in front of me skillfully took the goods out of the shopping basket, brushed them one by one in front of the barcode machine, and then settled them with a credit card. In a supermarket of 100 square meters, seven or eight cash registers work at the same time, but only one supermarket staff member helps customers pay at the exit. The entrance of this supermarket doesn't even have a common burglar alarm door in China, which shows that the supermarket trusts customers.

Seven, Denmark subway

Later, I found that Danes trust others far more than that. Subway is a common means of transportation for Copenhagen people. The subway fare is high, and the two stops need about 30 yuan RMB, so passengers are conscious of buying tickets.

The reporter didn't see the conductor, ticket gate and ticket inspector along the way, and the passengers consciously bought tickets at the ticket vending machine. When I first took the subway in Copenhagen, I thought that taking the subway for free was also one of Denmark's welfare systems. The more times you sit, the deeper you feel about the enthusiasm of Copenhagen people. As long as we check the subway route map on the platform, the locals will take the initiative to ask where we want to go and tell us the route we need to transfer; Even though we almost missed our stop, passers-by helped us hold down the underground iron gate so that we could get off in time.

Eight, the scenery outside the window

In Denmark, in addition to the automatic ticket sales in the subway system, trains also rely on passengers to buy tickets consciously. On the train from Copenhagen to Sinho, my colleagues and I sat down in a carriage at random and started chatting in a low voice. But just a few words, an old lady in the front row turned around and pointed to a small sign on the car door. At first, Danish trains were divided into quiet cars and ordinary cars. A quiet carriage allows tired passengers to rest quietly, while active children can also play in a brighter ordinary carriage. We hurriedly apologized to the old lady and switched to the ordinary car to sit down. However, the full trust of the Danes also allowed us to accidentally escape a ticket. On the way back to Copenhagen from HerSinho, in order to catch the plane, we jumped on the departing train without buying tickets. Along the way, although the scenery of Nordic forests and the Baltic Sea crisscrossed, I didn't want to enjoy it because of ticket evasion.

Riding a bike is a great pleasure for their leisure exercise.

For Danes, their life is comfortable and quiet, and cycling is a fashion for their leisure exercise. A country with a population of more than 5 million has 4.2 million bicycles, which is a "miracle".

X. Danish food, shelter and transportation

1. Eat

Denmark has a small land area, so people especially cherish every inch of land where food is grown. In this country, land that has been used for mining, casting steel and other production activities is not eligible for other uses without disinfection. Before planting vegetables, farmers will thoroughly clean the "dirty soil" by means of high temperature, water washing or biological decomposition to eliminate hidden dangers of pollution. In order to prevent counterfeit "green food" from entering the market, the Danes also invented an identification instrument, which can quickly detect whether there is fertilizer residue in food.

Many China people who moved to Denmark told reporters that their mouths were "raised" after they came: the milk they drank was shipped from the pasture within 15 hours; Vegetables are picked from the ground in less than 400 minutes; When you buy fruit, you can wipe it with your hand ... To be honest, the dining table in Denmark is far less abundant than that in China, but it is the reporter's deepest feeling in the local area to eat with confidence.

Danes especially like ham, so the pig industry is very developed. According to statistics, this country is one of the few countries in the world with more pigs than people. China has more than 6,543,800,000 pigs, while the Danish population is only over 5 million. In order to reduce the pollution caused by raising pigs, Danish scholars called for moving some pig pens to Poland and Romania. When the reporter visited a pig farm in jutland, Denmark, he found that local farmers invented an exclusive secret recipe for raising pigs for environmental protection. They added amino acids to the feed of more than 65,438+100,000 pigs. When pigs eat this feed, the nitrogen content in feces will be reduced, thus improving the problem of environmental pollution caused by feces. In order to let pigs breathe fresh air at any time, a ventilator worth 654.38 million euros was installed at the top of the pigsty. The farm manager told the reporter that the ham made with this "green pig" tastes particularly good and can receive orders from all over Europe every week. The seemingly high feeding cost has actually earned several times.

life

When I first arrived in Denmark, the reporter bought a chandelier to decorate the room. As soon as I entered the door, I took a fancy to a lamp with extremely simple design but full personality. The shopping guide said it was called "Copenhagen Pentagon Ball", which is a very famous style. Later, the reporter learned that Copenhagen is a famous design capital. Although it is not as luxurious as Milan and Paris, "Danish Design" has influenced people's lives all over the world with its environmental protection and practical style, and has been fully reflected in the local people's home life. When buying furniture in Denmark, besides looking at the price tag, there is also a label that must be read, which indicates the environmental protection index of this furniture. This index is as important as Danish household appliance quality certification and energy saving index. Danish wooden furniture is rarely painted, and generally adopts natural waxing technology, so it is less glamorous and more intimate to return to nature.

When the reporter visited a friend's house in Denmark, he found that the floor they laid was an environmentally friendly product made of natural raw materials such as linseed oil, rosin, rice flour and jute. It is said that waxing is never needed, which saves time and effort when cleaning, and can be degraded and reused in the future. This kind of floor is very common in Denmark now. The reporter also saw a strange conjoined chair, which was interpreted by friends as a "talking chair" for a family of three to sit together and chat. In downtown Jutland, many people have wooden shelves on their roofs. I didn't know it was the place where Danish cranes built their nests and hatched their eggs until I asked. No one keeps birds in Denmark. Birds just follow the ecological laws to reproduce and grow. But no matter where you go, you can see the fashion that people love birds and protect them.

What are the three accommodation options? Dormitory, renting, boarding

China students generally have three choices in accommodation? Most undergraduates will choose to live in school dormitories (mostly double rooms). In addition, they can rent a house outside or live in a local home.

Step 3: OK.

13 of office workers ride bicycles, and cars are as expensive as yachts. Denmark is a very rich country, so driving instead of walking is a piece of cake. However, in order to reduce car trips, the government has set the prices of vehicles and gasoline very high, with heavy taxes. Cars cost almost the same as yachts. Before, I only knew that Holland was the bicycle kingdom in Europe. I didn't expect that there were 1/3 office workers riding bicycles in Copenhagen, including senior officials, rich people and celebrities. Even the Prime Minister calls himself a cyclist.

Some countries just talk about promoting people to ride bicycles, but the Copenhagen government has taken hardware facilities seriously. They set up a bicycle lane that runs through the city to ensure that the road leading to the city center will not run a red light every morning. Moreover, bicycle lanes are separated from motor vehicle lanes and sidewalks in height, which is clear at a glance, safe and reliable. On the day the driveway was opened, the mayor of Copenhagen also rushed to the street to deliver juice and hot tea to cyclists. Nowadays, the bicycle lanes in the city have reached more than 300 kilometers, and the maximum speed of cycling to work can reach 20 kilometers per hour.

So many people ride bicycles, thanks to Denmark's traditional environmental awareness; On the other hand, the government has done a good job and created good conditions for cyclists. In this respect, Denmark is an example of our "bicycle country".
