@prinsessmarthe@Hootcel Haha, okay so I will admit I slipped and fell into the harbour in Copenhagen and had soaked jeans (in November). I ended up having to walk from the area around Amalienborg/Kastellet to Vesterbro in soaked jeans, and yeah no one even acknowledged it. But selberschuld I suppose 😅
@prinsessmarthe@Hootcel I suppose it depends on how one defines kindness vs. niceness. Most of my interactions could be considered kindness, but I viewed them as more so being nice; people were always willing to help me, answer any questions I had, have a drink with me, smile, and encourage my Danish
@Tewlipz@Hootcel Oh absolutely, I just found humour how when I first moved to Germany, German’s were horrid assholes about my (decent, but not perfect) German. But even with my very rough beginner Danish people are very happy to converse with me and encourage me.
@Babygravy9 It’s really tragic because Cologne went from one of the gems of Europe to genuinely one of the most aesthetically unappealing and disgusting cities in Germany
@sheep_found@Hootcel Perfectly fair, I’ve found so long as I follow the cultural norms and speak even a *bit* of Danish (I’m usually in DK) people are beyond kind, warm, and accommodating in an extremely sincere way.
@affairemayaling I’ll always be grateful I was able to just exchange my Texas drivers license for my German Führerschein and just bypass all that headache
