That's great, I like that a lot. As the commenter below said, sounds like New England to an extent. I'm fine with that and happy with less superficial

Yeah, this is all great advice. I work for a very European style company in the US and will work for a Danish company in Denmark. So I'm not expecting total culture shock (like our CEO currently wears a T-shirt and sneakers, you can have a beer with him) like going to Japan would be, but also looking forward to less work focus.

Yeah, the mental math of money, units, will all be a lot. But we'll get used to it!

I'm stoked for the smaller, car-free, perhaps simpler life.

That's great advice. I'm really excited to experience it and really embrace it. Thank you!

Oh that's a great call. I'll have to look and find the balance here between ship and buy.

They are helping set up a bank account, thankfully.

Yeah, for sure we are leaning in and gonna try to learn Danish. Worst case my wife and I have a secret code language to ourselves in the future :)

We don't intend to return, but anything could happen in life

Ah this is great! We are doing some Danish, and will continue to learn it. We'll be in Copenhagen, which will make leaning on our English a little easier.

I'm an engineer, and my work will be all in English, which is a great way to start.

I spent ~$8,000 USD on shoulder surgery this year. I can't wait for healthcare lol

Great suggestion, I think making them ready to play might be the move

They're not super old, we've got some pics and such we like obviously. Maybe ~100 gigs total of "important files" but it sounds nice to have "my computer" back when I arrive?

Oh switching to metric is a great idea.

Denmark :)

Fair enough, moving to Denmark!
