I’m in Copenhagen at the moment and had pretty much this conversation with some locals last night (yes alcohol was involved!) talking about how quality of life seems so much better here than at home.
One of the locals said we’re obsessed with never ending growth, the stock market etc, they just want to be happy and have a nice life. He said we live to work, they work to live. Doubt that’s his own line but seems very true.
Was near some office blocks today at about 4:45 and they were emptying out, by 5 they were closed off. People were sitting by the canal having beers, or even diving in which you def wouldn’t do at home.
It’s coming up for 8:45 now and a lot of people are still out having a good time. Zero hint of any trouble either.
When I come to places like this it just makes me think we’re got it very very wrong at home
