My Life in Denmark

I've lived in Denmark for more than 12 years now, and I like it very much. As an American, however, I am a perennial target for complaints about U.S. eating habits, foreign policy, and the inappropriate behavior of characters on American sitcoms. Danes particularly enjoy delivering these lectures when I have a beer in my hand and am trying to relax.

Needless to say, I have my own issues with Danish culture, and in fine American fashion, I have figured out a way to make money off them. Some of the articles below appeared first appeared in BT, Denmark's most widely circulated tabloid newspaper.
