Cars
I knew cars here would be smaller because the 180% tax discourages the big vehicles typical in the US, but I had forgotten that familiar manufacturers (Honda, Ford) make models not driven in the US. Even though it is very common to see station wagons, I haven't seen a single Subaru wagon. I have seen more Fiats, Daewoos, Peugeots, and Citroens here, in addition to the ones I never heard of, like Skoda.

ReplyDeleteSomething I was curious about--Do you have a TV in Denmark? I know you don't like TV but it's really helpful for learning a new language--especially watching the shows for the little kids that use simpler language.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a tv and on the one hand I wish we did so we could watch children's shows and BBC. It is possible the owners would have left behind their games (Wii? Not sure), too. On the other hand, it is nice not to pay cable bills and we can borrow dvds from the library. Like everything here, it is hard to know what the exact right answer is so we just muddle through.
