Here in Denmark, we are quickly learning that adding extra adjectives to describe how unbelievably, fabulously amazing our time has been so far is perhaps a little too much for the generally lower-key, humble and modest Danes...
...So from us overenthusiastic Aussies to whoever is interested, a few tips:
* when eating, if you think the food is delicious, a phrase such as "it may stay in my stomach" is appropriate
* while a response of "fine" would usually suggest the opposite in Australia, "fine" in Denmark means "great"
* "it could be worse" is a standard, positive response to a question of opinion, be it on food, wine, or anything else.
So, I'm off to bed now after a fine meal that may stay in my stomach, and could have been worse.
Farvel!
