Denmark

-The Danes pride themselves on having a healthy work-life balance. They can often choose when to start and end their work day, as well as having the flexibility of working from home. There is a minimum 5 weeks paid vacation for all wage workers.

-Oysters from the cold waters of North Jutland are considered some of the best in the world. Specifically called the Limfjord oysters, they live in cold waters which slows growth but strengthens the meatiness of the oysters. Also the low salt content of the water produces a clean finish. I would imagine it being somewhere in the middle of an East Coast and a West Coast oyster here in the states, meaty and slightly briny up front from the salty Atlantic water, yet a refined semi-sweet finish.

-As Copenhagen is known as the most bike friendly city in the entire world, renting a bike is just as cheap and easy as navigating the roads. A typical bike rental in Copenhagen is 80.00 DKK- 140.00 DKK. That's 15-25 USD for a whole day of rental. For comparison, a typical daily rental here in Philadelphia starts at 35 USD and can get as high as 80 USD.
