I think Turkish Pepper will be on the candy list next time.

[Nina]

Hey Nina, next time you come over can you bring me some real Danish "candy" to sample?!?!

Last time I gave you guys some danish candy you spat it out! No more candy for you of any kind!  

I was watching the Food Channel tonite (Good Eats), and the show said that the Danes eat the most candy per capita in the world. Just in case anybody was wondering which country consumes the most candy per capita.

I do eat a lot of candy.....we also have the highest consumption of alcohol in europe as well. I guess we just get bored in the winter time 

I wasn't in Denmark at that time though when all this was going on, guess where I was....

Uhmm....in the most beautiful country in the world?

 

No, I just told you I wasn't in Denmark!   

[Rodney]

Shane... Why were you watching the Food Network?

You could have been watching something better, like what I was watching... The Apprentice, Martha Stewart. (that smiley reception girl outside the conference room really annoys me)

In Copenhagen? Or Oslo?

In Copenhagen

[Rodney]

Is there a big square in front of the building?

[Nina]

In Copenhagen? Or Oslo?

In Copenhagen

hmm...could be the City Hall of Copenhagen. Is it right in front of this big square and just next to Strøget? (the pedestrian shopping street). I don't remember it being near any bridge but then again there are quite a few bridges in Copenhagen.....

[BwiBwi]

Yes there is a big square in front of it. A beautiful building. Inside is not open for tour though. 
I think it could be the city hall. From window looking in, it's used as office building.

Walking through those old streets and buildings, sure is nice.  Compare the price of food there (hambergers) to exotic Japanese food here. It makes Tojo's price pocket change.

Ya, food is quite expensive here, but then again living standards are also high. I often tell Rodney he is not gonna see me working for less than 25 bucks in hour

I heard government also pay for child birth?

[Rodney]

I heard government also pay for child birth?

Hmm... why are you telling her that?

[Nina]

I heard government also pay for child birth?

Child birth? no......well, you do get a certain amount of money for each child you have, from 1800 to 2500 dollars per child per year, depending on the age of the child. Also, if you are a single parent you get another 900 dollars per child per year.

[BwiBwi]

Yap, I got a friend that moved to Oslo. She said social benefits including raising child from birth to university is alot better than Canada. But the income tax is astronomical too. 

[Nina]

But the income tax is astronomical too. 

59 % for people like my dad, 40 % for people like me.

[BwiBwi]

  Now I can sleep happy. I thought 32% was bad. 

[Rodney]

Bwi Bwi, is this where you went?
