Very fast fast food stand

I have strolled through the centre of Odense few days ago. Bells were ringing. It was 18 o´clock. Shops were being closed. And the hotdog stand behind me was being closed too. Suddenly the hotdog stand started his engine, switched lights on and leaved the pedestrian zone in the direction to the main street. I ran after him to be able to take a photo of the moving fast food with a steering wheel for you.

The table lamp nation

Danes are a table lamp nation. They don´t have the central light in the living room in most houses. Instead of it they have a lot of table lamps and floor lamps around the room or there is a light low over the dining table. 
In Danish houses there are central lights mostly in bedrooms and in the kitchen. I think that Danes like this semi-darkness created by these small lamps.

Dinner party for 150 people

Danes love to eat. I was on couple of events where the main part of the evening was the dinner. It doesn't matter if the dinner is for 10 or for 150 people.

Last weekend I helped with organization of the ultimate frisbee tournament. I spent most of the time in the kitchen. We peeled potatoes, mixed dough and so on. There were 20 other helpers with me. We prepared the Saturday dinner for 150 participants of the tournament.
Dinner was in buffet-style. On the table there was everything what we had prepared. And after one hour everything was eaten :o).

Shared toilets

There are shared toilets for men and women in public buildings in Denmark. How it works? There is more toilets accessible from hall. Inside there is one toilet bowl and the sink. This room is so big that it can be used by handicapped persons too.

Other way is that there is a separate room with sinks. The same as we know in Czech Republic. Men as well as woman can go inside. And there are cabins with toilet bowls. Everything is the same but accessible to both genders.
