Or be Danish:
American: I have been to Denmark! I love Denmark.
Visits Copenhagen only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Copenhagen is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of the country and especially Jutland where the vikings lived, Amleth's grave is, where the king's used to be crowned, the earliest Danish law that predates your frigging country by several centuries AND it is the place that Tolkien based Middle Earth and characters like Eowyn on. You could literally go visit the real Helms Deep, Isengard, Aros and Esgaroth and you could go visit the place of the legendary shieldmaiden Hervør who inspired Eowyn and in some ways Aragorn too.
But no no. cOpEnHaGen is Denmark. The one city in Denmark where no one speaks Danish, lol.
To be fair.. most of those sights are piles of mud with sign posts.
For tourists I'd rather recommend the cold war museum, the original Lego land, the beaches on the west coast, hiking along the east coast fjords, the lakes at Silkeborg, the desert at Skagen, the ruins at Kalø, the various nature reserves.
There's plenty of stuff to see. May, June and August are the best times to visit. The rest of the year has unpredictable weather.
That's the hardest comeback I read for a while
Just puddles of mudd
So other than Copenhagen, the only other things worth seeing in your country are only worth seeing because they're related to an English book series and American film series?
American: I have been to Jutland! I love Jutland.
Visits Midtjylland only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Midtjylland is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of Jutland and especially Vestjylland where the oldest viking town is, where Dronning Dagmar died, where witches were burned, where old fisheries and new energy tech stand side by side, where beautiful beaches are littered with crazy nazi bunkers, where you can go north and surf or go south and see the flattest fucking place in the world, walking across the Vadehav to a literal island at low tide.
But no no. mIdTjYlLaNd is Denmark. The one place in Jutland where no one speaks Jutlandic, lol.
Bro give me your best tips on where to go in this magical place. What to do, what to see.
That is if you'll welcome me, an ignorant neighbour Swede who's only ever been to Copenhagen also and thinks it's Denmark.
EDIT: aw man https://old.reddit.com/r/tolkienfans/comments/xec987/tolkien_and_jutland_denmark/
Danish is too hard for me to consider going anywhere else
no no.. I've been to Billund too! :)
Well, Legoland, but still.
Which is a joke, I've never actually visited Copenhagen, but I did visit Århus, I loved the ARoS museum there, wish I had had more time to also visit Den Gamle By.
And I've visited Jesperhus in Nykobing Mors.
There is the reason the Ferhman-Belt tunnel is being built. Perfect to avoid the Danish parts of Jutland. It even manages to avoid Vikings history for the most part. After all that bit was Slavic back then.
I'll have you know I've been to Billund too!
I've never been to Denmark at all but now I'm totally sold. You should be in tourism.
