There is no place on the flat for one and also I'm constantly travelling. I guess I just have to take it for now, I'll be moving in 2 weeks so hopefully will not make the same mistake ;) Read More
Bored and frustrated in Copenhagen!? by Vukovska
I know, I know, it is almost impossible to get bored even for an hour in a great and vivid city like Copenhagen. And yet, I am bored! I moved here three months ago with my BF, who started his studies at Roskilde University in September. Now, he ...
Couldn't have said it better. You'll be trying to steer the relationship on your own, get frustrated, etc. Sometimes people love in Awkward ways and they tend to take you for granted. If you tell him your feelings and stay firm that would ... Read More

Make it very clear that you are not happy with the way things are going and let him choose. This is hard as hell, but you need to stay firm! When you love someone you go the extra mile for that person, if he doesn't, I'm not going to tell ... Read More

I'm not sure she is saying they dont do couple things, just that she would like him to include her when he plans something with friends. I much agree with your way of thinking, but that doesn't mean he is a bad guy, it appears he cares for ... Read More

I'm wondering how do single people, live in Denmark? Over the Copenhagen area it is very common for smaller flats not to have a washing machine. I was caught on such, only told after I placed my reservation. I dont have many clothes as I have ... Read More
basic salary in copenhagen by cctox
Hi guys, Im in the process of moving to CPH in a couple of months and besides trying to adjust to the new city and learning danish, I am also going to apply for as many jobs as I can. I was wondering what is the approximately basic salary that you ...
My advice is try and see how much it will actually cost you to live here. Its an expensive town, anything less than 100 DKK/hour, before taxes, on a full time job will have you struggling. Read More

Where abouts in Denmark have you lived? I actually find people quite happy, with a good environment, only somewhat reserved. Unemployment rate is very low and I feel very safe in the streets at night (unlike many other countries I've ... Read More

As you know the UK childcare system is heavily subsided. 15 hours free childcare for 38 weeks a year and then a large portion (I believe up to 75%) is paid back as working tax credits depending on your income. You have to wait a few years (i think ... Read More

My experience with other European countries: If its just a letter (rather than a package) it should clear pretty quickly, normally about 4-7 days. Read More

Public Transportation in Copenhague and in Malmo
Not sure if you traveled already, but in Copenhagen (and pretty much everywhere I went in Denmark), I used a REJSEKORT card which you basically top up with credit. If you're travelling from the Airport you can easily get one from the vending ... Read More
