Hi all!

We’re very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we’re set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

    Think of other topics and questions than work, Americans care too much about work outside of work.

    Switch your phone apps to celsius and start your brain switching ASAP.

    Knowing what country or region you’re going to would help

        American here, got stationed in Italy for a few years. Learning Celsius was easy with this in mind:

        0 freezing
        10 cool
        20 nice
        30 hot
        40 sweltering

        If you need to do the actual calculation, double the celsius value, subtract the tens digit (i.e. -10%), add 32. For example:

        Double it: 20 * 2 = 40
        Subtract the tens digit: 40 - 4 = 36
        Add 32: 36+32 = 68
