Here's the
weekend fun from last Friday.
June offer for "Business-Dances with Danes" 
Benefit of the collected knowledge on work culture in Denmark and how we as non-Danes can deal with it. E.g. we all know that Denmark is an egalitarian society and we like that. But how can we show that we are the best candidate for a job? Saying that you are an expert in topic x or that you were the best in your team, will not go down well with Danes. So what can you do? This book gives explanations to this wuestion and many others.
With our current offer you can so-to-say save the tax.

Where to celebrate Sankt Hans in 2013 
Sankt Hans is a major celebration in Denmark, probably also because it marks the long-awated summer with sun and warmth.
Sankt Hans combines quite a few different traditions. The name itself derives from John the Baptist (Hans), and the witch at the stake refers to the witchburnings. The burning sends the “witch“ away to Bloksbjerg, a mountain in the Harz region of Germany. Moreover, herbs are said to have magical powers on this night.
See our list of the major places in Denmark where Sankt Hans is celebrated. People gather long before, have picnics with friends, eat grillfood, in many places live music is offered and then comes the highlight. In many places a small bonfire is lit earlier on, such that kids can also see it before they have to hurry up to bed.
