Or be Danish:
American: I have been to Denmark! I love Denmark.
Visits Copenhagen only π€‘
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 HervΓΈr 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.
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 Γ
rhus, 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've not done any traveling myself I'll admit, but I would have figured at least Germany Spain and Greece would have also made the list from how much I hear of people visiting them. Especially Greece.
Americans donβt consider Greece part of Europe. Itβs part of history.
This is a nonsense statement π€£
I don't understand how people come up with these narratives.

That pretty much sums up my time in Europe.
Ireland is missing from this picture. Americans love going to Ireland.

I don't get it
That those are the only counties Americans stereotypically visit.
Which isn't close to true.
Ironically, the most unbelievably stereotypically-American tourist thing I've ever witnessed was while I was in Germany. We started chatting while renting bikes, and upon learning that I was Scottish she remarked that she was surprised I spoke English
She seemed lovely otherwise
I mean... I've met Glaswegians.
I studied in Glasgow and one of my absolute favourite memories of the place is hearing a South Asian looking guy talking on the phone in a language I didn't understand or recognise... but I could still hear that he had a Glaswegian accent
Should have started speaking Gaelisch
Tha mi ag ionnsachadh a-nis, ach cha robh sas bith agam an uairsin
That's when you say, "Bless your heart."
What I should've done is tell her that Scotland invented English and they stole it from us. Aberdonians actually still speak the dialect of Shakespeare, who was so successful because he was the first to popularise the language in England. The English spoke French ever since the Norman invasion, after all
Finland or Poland. None of the rest matters. No offense rest of Europe.
Funny enough Iβve never been to any of those countries but have been to Croatia, Spain, and the Netherlands.
