You got lots of replies to your points already.

Just something about grocery selection here:

Danish people (on average), value price over quality when it comes to food (probably because everything is so expensive already). This means that supermarkets have to cater to this, and thus sell mainly discount stuff, and second selection vegetables and meats. The good meat is sold in China and to other countries. You will not find very much seafood in supermarkets.

So as an American, coming from your huge supermarkets with 40 different types of ketchup etc. etc. You will find the selection here very sad. On the other hand - desperation will teach you how to make a lot of the very processed things you eat, yourself. I.e. Mac n cheese is so much better when it's home made from scratch.

Also be aware that health care here is different from the US. It is free - but that means that you can't just go and get a scan, or basically you can't order anything. The doctor tells you what you need - you have the right to one second opinion if you disagree with your doctor, and that's it.

If you want the type of service you get in the US, you need to go to a private hospital - which will cost you (As it does in the US).

The quality of the health care here is just fine, but it runs at a different pace, from the perspective of the patient.
