Danish Tidbits

I’ve made my decision on where to go for next term! It shall be confirmed after the big interview with the board this Friday so until then, I’ll keep it sealed.

I have some free time on my hands this week so I’ve been reading about Denmark to get a heads up and found some really fascinating facts.

i.l.o.v.e.i.n.d.i.a

- Main religion: Lutheranism, 2% Muslims (I guess very few halal stores, if we’re lucky)
- GDP: ranks 16th in the world (read: high cost of living)
- World’s highest level of income equality
- World’s highest income tax as well
- The happiest place in the world (before or after the tax?)
- The second most peaceful country & the least corrupt in the world (interesting correlation huh?)
- Legalised pornography and the first country in the world to approve same-sex marriage (not that it matters to me)
- Home to Hans Christian Andersen (The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes)

And apparently Lars (Metallica), Aqua (didn't we all love Barbie Girl) and Michael Learns to Rock all hail from Denmark!

Boy, I love Wikipedia.
