- If there is a white button on or next to a door you have to push it to unlock the door. Otherwise you will be standing there trying to get the door open for a long time.
Similarly, if there is a blue button in the sliding glass doors, that trigers them to open. You will find this on the S- train.
- Be careful on the metro. The doors have no safely mechanisms so if they close on you, they close and there is nothing you can do about it. The metro system is fully computerized and there are no drivers to help you.
- In some ways school is much more informal than in the states. You always address your teacher by their first name and can act very familiar with them. This is because teacher are often not professors by profession, and may not have a PhD. Typically they are experts in their field who have a full time job and then teach a course or two on the side.
- Danes are very serious about the handicapped section on the bus and always, without fail move when an older person or handicapped person gets on.
- When you go to the movies, you get an assigned seat. (I don't think you necessarily have to stick to your ticket if the theatre is fairly empty but if the movie is sold out you better be sitting in the correct seat. It was actually nice getting an assigned seat. It makes going to the movies seem a little more special.
