Is there a direct trane from Copenhagen Airport to Vejle? by FarawayGuy
My friend is going to spend a vacation with his family at Vejle. He asked me to help to find out if it is possible to take a direct trane at the Copenhagen Airport (not from the city). I would appreciate any information on the matter.
No thanks ... I am no longer interested in ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ. Read More
Taking My car To Denmark Should I or Not? by johnty_m
I have been trying to find out if it is worth me bringing my car across with me when I move or if it would be cheaper just to buy a new scond hand car over there. Can anyone please tell me how it works,or if I should keep it registered in the UK if ...
What a double standard that ½ûÂþÌìÌà has. charly.dk glad you were allowed to post a link, ½ûÂþÌìÌà took my links down, since they thought I was advertising versus helping. It bit hypocritical of them! Read More

Have to disagree on that. They are links to the topics that people are asking about. Also you deleted the link to Rejseplanen and several other links that had nothing to do with my site. But never mind. Have learned that this is not the place to ... Read More

Love the fact that everytime you put a useful link on the forum, which helps others find the information they need, you come back and "Moderated No Free Ads On This Site". Does not make one want to help other expats very much. Actually still want ... Read More

Yes, there are several trains. They are the IC tog and take about 2.5 hours from Kastrup Lufthavn to Vejle Main Train Station. Remember to reserve a seat. Cost 30 kroner more, but that way you will be sure to have a seat the whole way. Others can ... Read More
moving to Denmark by marv
Hi! We are a family, 2 adult and 2 preschool children moving to Copenhagen. Only my husband will be working. His salery will be 50000DK per month. Is this enough for living (renting a property, food and other expenses) Does anybody know is it hard ...
Mary, 50,000 should be plenty to keep you comfortable. Of course depends on where you are living and the cost of your apartment or house. If your husband has a work permit and you are an EU citizen, you can look for work. If you are from outside ... Read More

Hi Guys, Could go into all the reasons for and against bringing a car, but since I have already written on my site, you may just wish to read it there. fyidenmark.com/importingcartoDenmark.html Remember, that car prices are coming down in Denmark ... Read More

Harish, There are lots of parks in and around Arhus. Kind of depends where you live, but suggest you look at a map of your area and see what is around. Most parks have play areas and children are used to playing together mostly unsupervised. The ... Read More
How to make friends in Aarhus by expat.com

The best way is just to head downtown and mingle with the people. There is large international community (mostly students). This weekend they have a big boat race at the university where there will be 1000s of people out partying and enjoying the ... Read More
New To Aarhus & Need A Social Life! by Lindsay85
Hey everyone, I moved to Denmark from Canada in December. I was staying with my bfs parents near Skive, but we moved to Aarhus a couple of weeks ago. I have not met too many people in Aarhus yet, and I am desperate for a social life! I was in bed ...
Armand, Not arguing with you about that. They just have regular meetups and might be nice to be able to mingle among a group of people and find someone you connect with. Have not seen any meetups listed on ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, so just trying to help those ... Read More

Your feelings about Danish trade unions by DKresearcher
I'm interested to know how foreign workers experience the Danish trade unions. Between 60-70% of Danish workers are members of a trade union. The trade unions are therefore powerful and able to make binding collective agreements with employers ...
DK Researcher, I totally agree with your views and I think that the agreement Denmark has with Poland is a slap in the face to Danish workers and is creating a large problem in many job markets. But it is not the employers you should be targeting, ... Read More

Did you also know that the Polish workers do not have to pay tax on their wages, so they are getting a larger portion of their pay than their Danish counterparts or other expats working. They pay taxes back in Poland and not in Denmark. That is ... Read More
