is I remember walking into the kitchen in our very first house and saying where's the
fridge where is it um but we have a built-in frge and it's quite common in Danish homes to
have built-in fridges in the wall that something that was very weird hey guys welcome back to the
channel today we're going to be checking out a video regarding Denmark I don't think I've
done a lot of videos regarding Denmark on this channel so uh maybe that's a start so um if you
guys have any recommendation regarding Denmark in the comment section please leave those and
uh if you want as well there's a link in the pin comment section it's a playlist on YouTube just
click that link and add whatever videos regarding to Denmark and I'll react to it I definitely want
to learn a few things about Denmark I recently found out that Denmark was literally right above
Germany I didn't know that right so yeah that I'm I'm ignorant to Denmark so I'll be finding out
10 difference between Danish and American houses right now so thank you for watching and uh please
do like and subscribe and uh let's get right into this video man all right welcome to this
week's traveling young May is here with me later you'll see Miranda but right now we're standing
in my office check it out there's all my random bobblehead baseball things he's a baseball videos
random guitars on the wall this is it there's a cat on the ground here we are in my office
and you're going to kind of inadvertently get a house tour yeah it wasn't really the intention
with the video but you're going to get a little bit of it a little taste and that's because this
video we're going to talk about 10 things that we find different in Danish homes specifically
this one and homes that we've lived in in the US we thought that would be an interesting topic 10
things different in Danish homes versus American homes on this week's travel and
[Music] young so we're outside our house uh at our mailbox and you can see our mailbox looks
like uh basically any other mailbox in either Denmark or the us but the big difference is it
has our names on it so there's Josh's name my name's there too and that's really important
because here in Denmark if you don't have your name on your mailbox sometimes the post people
won't actually deliver your mail they'll send it back because they can't prove that you live
here so um that's a big difference from the us cuz we're not required to do that in the
US it just goes by the house number uh so the post people just deliver it to whoever lives in
the house don't know who lives there they just care about the house number so that's that's
a big difference and behind me are all of our trash cans we got uh paper and plastic hold on
man let me turn my let me turn my brightness up cuz that thing is dark it's still dark dang why
y'all had to do the thing at night we have cardboard we've got our regular trash food
trash um so this is all like the extras from when you're cooking and things hold on hold
on hold on hold right from the mail right up nah bro that's strange that's strange like I
live in Finland right now I didn't say that in the beginning of the video but I do live
in Finland right now and um that's like at the supermarket we ain't got right the recycle stuff
right at your door n that's crazy that's that's actually really convenient I can't even I can't
even that is convenience I like it um and then Glass and Metal and finally our uh a garden trash
so a lot of trash cans we do a lot of recycling a lot of separating and uh that's a big thing
here in Denmark recycling is really big so they make it as easy as possible um and all of these
get picked up on different days we just have to kind of note in a calendar what days they
come so that's a big difference from the us all we had in the US was basically like mixed
recyclable so anything that was recyclable went into one container it didn't make any separation
and then we just had trash and that was it and it was really really hard to do any really big
recycling we did a video about g r station we didn't really have those in the US either so um
so yeah there's lots more recycling done here in Denmark uh and therefore lots more trash
cans hey all right so one of the weird things about bathrooms in Denmark is the
light switches are outside the bathroom rather than inside the bathroom and why the hell is
there a right there why the hell is there a plug right there what what for what what we
what man hey they do their thing different in Europe that's all I got like why is it like I'm
used to it being matter of fact I should check right now what is it in Finland hold on oh it's
actually inside the bathroom in Finland what the hell okay it's actually inside the bathroom I'm
back it's actually inside the bathroom which is crazy the Denmark Finland I thought they
would have the same thing but it's actually inside the bathroom in in Finland crazy but
why why why why is it outside in Denmark weird and why if somebody knows the reason for this
tell me in the comments cuz I don't understand it at all what if it's not Denmark and it's just
whoever made that house but it is kind of fun to mess with people while they're going to the
bathroom all right so another thing I want to talk about is unfinish floors so this is
uh like the entrance to our new house but it is actually the only in our current house that has
unfinished floors um but our houses in Denmark had only unfinished floors in every room of the house
um however I don't think I've ever none of our houses back in the US had unfinished floors they
were all you know had the glossy top and I don't know if I've ever even been in a house us that had
unfinished floor so it's a very D European thing um but yeah something I definitely thought was
a bit strange when I first came here all right so you're kind of getting a little I don't know what
an Onish floor looks like what are we talking about what what are we talking about is it uh
there's no design on it like onfinish what do you consider to be unfinish there's no carpet
what's going on what we talking about why y'all left me hanging bro a bit of a tour of the house
here we're now in Miranda's office and looking at another light switch there's a very this very
light switch heavy heavy tour and description of things and in this case what interesting is Outlet
at the switch it's smart because there obviously power going to the switch and it allows you to do
things like plug in a vacuum cleaner or something that you just need temporarily plugged in and you
don't need to like get on the ground or move furniture to find an outlet to plug something
in this is not something that happens in the US light just light switches there's no Outlets next
to it at all so this is pretty handy I like this almost every light switch in the house
has an outlet directly below it if you need power all right now we are in the kitchen and something
that I really thought was interesting when I first moved to Denmark is I remember walking
into the kitchen in our very first house and saying where's the fridge where is it um but
we had a built-in fge and it's quite common in Danish homes to have built-in fridges in the wall
that something that was very weird to get used to and I definitely opened the wrong cabinet a
few times when we first moved into our house here all right and now yes because I have one I hope
the S maybe stand over there I hope the sound of the dishwasher isn't too loud there no man
I want to see the operations man I want to see the Frid I want to see the that is so cool like
wow it's so seamless like that that beats the American fridge there you have it that [ __ ]
right there beats the American fridge easily like easily like I love the American Fridge Big Lots
of space whatever that right there is just you see that you're like ah yes I like that I like
that a lot that right there is amazing like it's so discreet it's like you would never know it's
there unless you know it's there you know what I mean I like it also this is a freezer and as you
can see there's no mechanism for making ice cubes in this freezer at all oh yeah it's not like the
there's no thing to get is do anything no ice making facilities every refrigerator freezer
I've ever had in America had the ability to make ice cubes even the cheapest one we lived in this
like super inexpensive cheap right out of he ca he capping he's he's capping he's rich I got a
lot of I know a lot of refrigerators that do not have ice makers you got to be well you know put
together you probably paying like a what how much um m maybe a I don't know 1,500 I don't I really
don't know but you got to be rich to get ice maker fridge like a lot of fridge do not have ice makers
a lot of them uh house in tooma Tennessee I bought the cheapest refrigerator which was also happened
to be the most expensive one I could afford at the time even it had up at the top quite common
the freezer at the top make ice cubes with water running into the freezer to do this so I've always
had free flowing ice cubes at any point I wanted in my life until I moved here 5 and 1/2 years of
no ice cubes that's a massive this has been a struggle to get used to maybe not now cuz it's
winter but in the summer time oh oh ice cubes I love you so much this is one that I feel like you
and I both Miss yes um there's no bathtubs here you can get a bathtub it's not 90% of the homes
I would say do not have a bathtub you just have a standing shower yeah never lived in a house
that had a bathtub no and I agree you know I'm look I've been in houses with a bathtub other
people's houses not our houses um and I I so I don't I it's not really common no um sometimes
I miss it but that's what hotels are for they had about t um and we thought just do a quick
golly man they ain't showing [ __ ] anyways but um yeah with Finland yeah that was a huge shock
for me I was like what why why is it like what is this like what is this where's the space all
this no no okay cool whatever okay we don't have that here okay cool whatever but it's a
great thing to have I mean it's not necessary cuz 90% of the times you just go in there and
um you stand up either ways right I guess women I don't know for guys but for me for definitely
I've never laid out in a bathtub and I literally grown up my entire life with a bathtub right um
so yeah I don't know it's it's not that important actually for me right but I guess for women they
probably go in there and you know fill it up with water and do all that I don't know special bonus
uh honorable mention to the two buttons that you have on toilets um in the US we just have
a single flush you flush toilet here you got a light flush um for light things and a heavier
flush for heavier things I'm I'm a frequent user of the heavy flush button just to so more water
it's a bit more forceful with the heavy flush so bit of G so whichever one you need you can
do that's right good for energy you water saving yes exactly right what do you think Buddy Oli
agrees Olli agrees I think I got a lot of Ali's butt up sure did we're trying to get her to do
weird things over here yeah okay go ahead wait all right go for it okay uh so one thing that I really
noticed when we moved to Denmark and I think this is just the SC Scandinavian style really out but
every room is white they're all white in every house we've lived are just white and I thought
that was very interesting cuz the houses we've lived in in the US were you know like painted
different colors I remember our dining room in our house in DC was yellow we had a green room
disg and or like wallpaper but every room here in the wallpaper is not bad like I've never been to
like listen I get that colorise nonsense listen my mom and dad had colored room my sister had a
colored room my room was literally either white or a a dirty white offwhite type Vibe that's what I
like I I I hate freaking bright colors I love like there's a time and place for bright colors and I
I I I don't have a problem with bright colors but it's just not for me on a daily basis or a regular
time I don't want to wake up in a room red blue ew I want a white room you know bounce the light
back can give me a nice bright Vibe when I cut the lights on you know type type stuff you know but um
typical apartments in the United States are indeed also white um I don't think you're going to find
apartments in the United States if you have your own home in the United States where you own it
then you have uh you know color different colored walls but apartments are standardly going to come
in white everywhere are just white it's very minimalist um I think it's quite nice especially
the subro with all the natural light but I yeah remember coming to the house and be like this is
so boring why is everything white it's not boring me okay so I did have to slightly search the house
for this because what is that this house does not really have that much of this but previous houses
did um Dad doesn't believe me but it's true but that the plugs here have like switches to turn
the B it off which I find very interesting cuz that's not really a concept we have in the US
so I have a demonstration for you that it does in fact turn on and off for the switch um but
yeah this house doesn't really have that that much but previous house is Def there's actually one of
these in Finland actually in this same apartment that I'm at um these things are actually um pretty
common cuz I studied electrical technology so I I I know a lot about electricity and how to
do all of this [ __ ] with the house so those are actually pretty common those are actually
really really really common you know it's the end the circuit end the electric electric flow
or whatever you want to call it right so it's actually pretty common but I've never really
seen it in houses that that I will say to you it's a very common thing but I've never actually seen
it until moving to Finland but yeah defitely did and it's something I think is very interesting oh
start Ollie wants to be in every shot guys this is the end slightly BL on go come this way let's
wrap this up guys yes uh so thanks for watching uh we hope you enjoyed this episode on yeah it was a
very interesting video man thank you I appreciate that but um definitely guys go check out the um
original Channel link will be in the description of my video so you guys can check out the original
video if you've not seen it before um let me know if you're not from Denmark and you're not from the
United States uh is Denmark the houses in Denmark a lot more similar like yours in Europe uh let me
know in the comment section down below but what I will say is this there were some very interesting
things like that um you know plugin uh socket whatever it's freaking called I don't remember
right now I could be saying the right name or the wrong name but you know what I'm talking
about where you put your little thing inside of it right um it was really interesting seeing the
the switch there and um having the light switch on the outside is actually another really interesting
thing um but yeah at the end of the day Denmark is cool with all these you know crazy stuff my
number one stand out for me was definitely the refrigerator being so M classy looks good I don't
know if that's how the entire Denmark does it but one thing one thing I can say is if I ever
do build my own dream house that is going to be there but anyways man thank you guys for watching
let me know how y'all think about the video in the comment section down below I'm out of here peace
