So I've spent a lot of time studying about Denmark in preparation for my trip, but I realize that many people may not be too familiar with this northern European nation.
- 5.5 million people compared to 9.5 million in North Carolina.
- With its small size, Denmark is almost a third the size of North Carolina.
- Danes use the Danish Kroner; one U.S. dollar equals about $5.92DKK.
- Denmark has not taken an official stance on the vinegar-based vs. tomato-based barbecue debate.
- 87% of Danes live in urban areas compared to 69% of North Carolinians
- Denmark's royal family is headed by Queen Margrethe II, though she holds no governmental authority. North Carolina's royal family is currently headed by Roy Williams, who holds significant sway over the month of March.
- Websites that originate in Denmark end in .dk as opposed to the .com, .net, .edu and so forth from American web addresses.
- The Danish people are the descendants of the Vikings.
- Though I have no official statistics on the matter, I believe that absolutely no restaurants in Copenhagen serve sweet tea. (But if one does, I will find it.)
