Just wondering - it is a possiblity that I may have the chance to work in Copenhagen for a while shortly, and I was curious to see if there were any NSC regulars that live or work there.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Any Copenhagen NCSers ?

One caveat. It's expensive.

Without having been there, I imagine it is a lovely place. I already work for the company, a Danish Bank, but there just may be the option to work there for a while.
I must say, everyone I speak to on a daily basis there have been really nice - and their spoken English would really put most people here to shame, the even tend to speak English to each other from what I can see.
I know it's expensive, but that would be "taken care of" (nod,nod - wink,wink)

Went to Copenhagen for a 3 day break on the 14th of April, which turned into a nightmare as we could not fly back due to the ash cloud issue. Firstly, the hotel staff were wonderful and very polite. Could not help us enough and the people as a whole were fantastic and yes, mostly happy to speak in English. The only locals with attitude appeared to be the local Asian lads who walked the walk and appeared to be the biggest chavs on show. That said, Copenhagen is mostly a very lovely city, the odd bit of architecture that failed to attract but does not every city or town have it's less than beauty spots? And if your hoping to see the little mermaid - she's gone to Shanghai for an expo. Also avoid the Tivoli Gardens - disappointing and expensive.
Some great bars though and found one or two excellent restaurant's. Great place to grab a coffee and very best Humous you will ever eat can be found at the city library just off the the main canal. Lovely, quiet courtyard to chill. As to alcohol the cheapest pint I found was at a sports bar and at a reasonable £3.50 a pint of Tubourg. Compare that to the 8.50 Euro's we were paying for a pint of Leffe at Dieppe whilst waiting for the ferry. Biggest pub/bar disappoinment in Copenhagen was the English pub - pricey, pikey and basically crap!
So, would I go back again? Possibly as part of a bigger tour of Denmark but not something like a Paris where you would need to revisit a few times to see everything.
Go and enjoy, the world is a big place - Copenhagen is just a small bit of that world.

I was actually due to go there that same week in April, just for a couple of days to see head-office and meet my team. Not with a view to working there, but the situation is changing.

I lived in Copenhagen for almost a year and had an amazing time. People are very friendly. When I was there I was single and I had ... well... a ball! It is very expensive, but like everywhere you can find cheap food and drink if you look off the beaten track - although I wouldn't venture too far behind the central station!
Tivoli opposite the station is great, as is the walking street (it will make sense when you are there!). Try the red hot dogs sold on every street corner and (if it is still open) a tour of the Tuborg/Carslberg factories (which is a great way to get a cheap drink!).
Finally, be prepared to trip over a lot and walk into lamp posts when strolling through town in the summer. Danish ladies are a sight to behold.
Perhaps I should stop now...
