1. If you are having a business meeting you might need to wear a suit, or if you go to a really classic and expensive restaurant. But 90% of the restaurants it won't be necessary ~
2. In Danish traditional culture we eat a lot of meat, fish and dairy products, so it might be a bit difficult for you to find vegan food that's also traditional.. But you could check out this porridge restaurant http://groed.com/en/our-restaurants/
3.1 In Denmark we don't just throw our garbage on the street, bring it to a garbage can.
3.2 There is a lack of public restrooms, so remember to use the toilet at your house before you go out, or at the restaurant.
3.3 We don't greet each other by bowing in Denmark, instead we value a nice firm handshake.
3.4 please speak loud and clear (not yelling tho) and look us in the eyes when answering.
3.5 if you visit friends and take a shower, remember to wipe the water of the floor!
3.6 if you bump a person on the street remember to apologize.
3.7 respect the personal space, which is bigger than in Korea.
3.8 if you walk through a door, and a person is coming close behind you, you should hold the door for the next person.
3.9 talking about the weather is always a good topic in Denmark ~^^
4.1 don't put you elbows on the table
4.2 we get personal servings, if there is e.g a pot of soup on the table, NEVER put your own spoon in it!!! There will be a ladle that you should use to serve yourself.
4.3 keep your elbows tight to your body, don't take up too much space.
4.4 Don't eat too loudly
Hope this helped you a bit ~ enjoy your time in Denmark

@Sungyong I know, it can be difficult for Asian especially.. And it's a balance, because if you stare at people or talk too loud that's not good too T. T But in the end it's all about showing you are interested and involved in the conversation, while also showing you are confident ~^^

@Mski Not now but I'll definitely travel to your country someday. Your country is well known for a well developed dairy industry, well designed furniture or stuff, Lego and the small statue of little mermaid. I mean there is less information about your country in Korea. I'm really glad to have got to know many things about Danes and their culture from you :) Thanks again and happy new year~!
