FUN FACTS
So, being Danish has its Ups and Downs!  Sometimes, I accidentally use a word that doesn’t exist in English. Unfortunately, I’m getting to the point where the "I'm Danish" excuse doesn't works anymore, however it’s worked for me so far! Also, there is no "W" in the Danish alphabet, so I have had to teach myself how to differentiate between "Veggie or Weggie sandwich". That has gotten me into some odd situations at times.  Lastly, I tend to see details in things that most people would miss and then look at the big picture whereas most people see the big picture first. Recently, I saw a painting of a Koi fish and I was fascinated by the small details within the scales, it took me a few seconds to see the fish itself whereas everybody around me marveled at the fish. I was able to see and appreciate the detailed work the artist put into each scale!
