  • Not saying Copenhagen was all in all a bad experience, had loads of good ones too. It’s just that in my limited frame of reference, Copenhagen was my least favorite. But it was still pretty good. I’ve had bad experiences in restaurants everywhere around Europe. But outside of general businesses, I found that I didn’t like the vibe in Copenhagen. Sure, in restaurants people are nice. In venues if any kind things are good. It’s a prosperous country. But in a way I found that just walking around the city it felt rushed, unkind. Even compared to a larger city like Lisbon.

    That said, I didn’t really felt at ease in for instance Catania or Rotterdam either.


  • I’m European and never left the continent. I found Copenhagen (Denmark) to be one of the least inviting places I’ve ever been. That’s not to say Denmark is like this or even that I didn’t have a good time in Copenhagen. It’s just that pretty much everywhere, people seem to be in a hurry.

    But my baseline in Europe is that everything is just amazing. People are nice, accomodating, helpful. Especially in the slightly smaller cities. I especially enjoyed Krákow and Gent.
















  • Brocycle I gotta say social anxiety is f’in hard if you go to any gathering. Kudos to your friend for asking for help and at least showing up. Most people just make up some excuse why they can’t come, or they awkwardly come in, stand in a corner somewhere or cling to anyone they already know all night.

    If you get into this situation, best thing you can do is introduce your buddy to someone they might get along with and get them started. If the conversation gets going, you can just go. If the convo dries up, they’ll find you again.
