Interesting things I have learned about Copenhagen, Denmark and the Danes

Well, I have been living here in Copenhagen for just over a week now and in my time here I have learned some very interesting things.

One thing I am beginning to learn is the language. Danish is incredibly difficult to learn. 

There are 3 additional vowels in their alphabet (æ, ø, and å). 

NOTHING is pronounced the way it is spelled, and i really mean NOTHING!

Goodbye = hej hej (hi hi)

What is your name? = Hvad hedder du? (vel hulla du?)

My name is... = Jeg hedder... (Yai hulla...)

Can I help you? = Kan jeg hjælpe? (Can jai halpe?)

and the interesting pronunciations go on and on.  

Almost everyone in Copenhagen rides a bike. Most roads have a bike lane between the sidewalk and the actual road. These bike lanes have their own traffic lights and everything. Bike riders always use hand signals saying if they are stopping or turning. If you are riding a bike at night without a light you will get a very big fine.

Currently, the sun doesn't fully rise until about 8:30 am and it begins to set around 4:00 pm (just over 8 hours of daylight).

However, when I leave in May there will over 16 hours of daylight each day.

In Denmark, everyone uses military time. This is difficult to get used to but it actually makes life a lot easier. There is very little confusion about when to meet someone and it is almost impossible to set your alarm wrong (for example setting it for 7 pm instead of 7 am).
