What is Denmark famous for?
Denmark is also known for its generosity with world aid. Despite being one of the smallest countries – a mere 5.5 million people in 2005 – it gives freely to nations in need.

And (you gotta love this!), Danes can get a college education at no cost.

I couldn’t picture a specific building or monument (well, maybe Mannekin Pis, but I’d only ever seen the corkscrew version) in Brussels for the life of me. This actually worked in my favour, as I’ll always remember the first time I walked onto Grand Place, with no preconceived ideas about what it was or how it would look. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to travel to a foreign country and know nothing about it – not to have a prepared lists of sights to hit which, in fact, you’ve already seen a dozen times or more in books and on TV, not to know what you might see or eat, or what the people are like.
