Thanks Ryan. I'm very Danish, even though my great grand parents were living in Germany (according to the boarders, drawn after the lost war in 1864, but still regarded themselves as Danish. In 1920 there was a referendum - in Germany and Denmark, according to which a new boarder line was drawn (the present one) - to separeate Denmark from Schleswig-Holstien (Germany). The Danish people see themselves as Scandianavians (Denmark-Sweeden-Norway) - home of the Vikings. We don't need pasports to travel within Scandinavia and we basicly speak the same nordic language and can easily undersstand eachother, even thoug the words are pronounced differently in the three countries. In very old days the southern parts of Sweeden, Norway, Iceland, Faro Islands and Greenland was parts of Denmark. Now we only have Greenland and Faro Islands left.
