When we got there, my parents loved the place. Everyone we met smiled, were just so helpful & pleasant. The architecture is spectacular, love the Scandinavian simplistic style. My mum loved the food. Most restaurants we visited use locally, seasonal ingredients that are fresh and delicious. We ate at different restaurants for every meal, recommended by friendly strangers. All were excellent.
Outside Copenhagen was much the same. The towns are
pretty, and clean, the people who live there are as agreeable
and amiable to those we’d met in the capital. We traveled by trains, which ran
on time to within a minute, were regular, and spotlessly clean. Excellent transport system.
Leaving aside the good looks of the city, its
charming population, and the exceptionally good cuisine, I came away with a
feeling that here was a place, and probably a country, where the well being of
its citizens and the efficiency of the public services are the main priority. If
I’m correct, and that’s the prime concern of the government, then it’s worked,
and has rubbed off on everything else, making the city a pleasing place to
visit, or live.
My mum is totally in love with the place now. She'll be back, she warned ... lol..
Charming right???? |
