Also if I tried to take a picture he would out up a curious finger gesture over his face. That was even if he let me take a pic of him. Or it would be in the pic some where. Two fingers and a thumb.

I read that as her comparing her own experience to that of Swedes/Scandinavians, by playing on the stereotypes — we are the same, but not.

Swedes are rule-bound and drunk, Danes are sloppy and lazy, Norwegians are jolly and old-fashioned.

In the rest of the nordic countries, Faroese are spiritual, Finns are wild, Icelanders are TRVE VIKING, etc

This all from a Danish viewpoint, I'm sure some other Nordics will soon chime in with more

That description of Scandinavia including a bunch of other countries was probably written by an Estonian angry that their country is treated as Sweden’s party beach for drunk yuppies, or by a faroe islander bitter that conditions worsened significantly after everyone forgot they exist after the British left at the end of ww2.

Not Nordic but Belgian, and I would say our POV is this:
* Swedes: Scandinavia's Germany, but cooler
* Norwegians: cool but antisocial
* Danes: an improved version of the Dutch but with a worse language
* Finland: literal extraterrestrials
* Iceland: elves and fishermen

The Faeroese don't even register with us unless we have to quickly clobber a team of jobbers in an international football league

Can I suggest maybe slowing it down a whole lot more (say; one frame ever 30 seconds to a minute) to make it one of those avatars where people will just occasionally glance and notice it's a different image.

It's still real good though! :allears:

Everyone loves weird booze (teetolalers can re-gift, I guess)

I brought a bottle of Gammel Dansk (basic tier bitter shot) for my cousins wedding in NY 2002. We had a layover to a smaller domestic flight & there was a TSA guy checking for explosive residue with the lil cloth swipe thing. So he went over my suitcase and it kept going off & he asked me to open it, and I did.

He goes through all my stuff, and it keeps beeping for explosives and I'm like "ugh this sucks, they're gonna ship me back to Denmark on my expense", but then he finds the bottle of alcohol and asks me what's in there (I had wrapped it in brown paper for the occasion). Now I'm definitely getting thrown out.

I tell him it's a special Danish booze, we're going to my cousin's wedding, see? He looks at me a bit, doesn't even peel back the brown paper to check the bottle, then goes alright, you're fine.

tbf, they did confiscate my aunt's knitting pins and took apart the cake we brought. But top notch security lol

Yeah but everyone has tasted those anyway. And a taste is enough :smuggo:

e: I once asked a bartender for the worst booze he has and he dug out a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman. He said he wouldn't even sell it to anyone else but since he hated me I could have some. (I have no idea whether Kentucky Gentleman is from Kentucky or a bourbon :shrug:)
