But I need to ask - have you been to Copenhagen? Did people stare at you there too?<BR/>Because I'm afraid it's not because you're an American or because all Danes stare. You are in a part of Denmark where people apparently didn't learn common politeness of non-staring. I've been there too. Work as an archaeologist, get around the country a lot. I have NEVER been stared at so much as when I was driving a battered van through petty villages in Northern Jutland. Their eyes seemed literally to be popping out and I worried they'd need a collective physiotherapy session from all the neck and back twisting they had to do in order to follow me with their eyes. <BR/>So - my point is - I think staring is more "small-town" universal than it is particularly Danish.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed staring at your blog post, thank you.Christina Seehusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03859746054000095522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868097081383227957.post-1412159842896905482008-04-08T19:36:00.000+02:002008-04-08T19:36:00.000+02:00So staring isn't just a German phenomenon...I was ...So staring isn't just a German phenomenon...I was beginning to think I had a permanent mark on my face.<BR/><BR/>(BTW, I came across your blog when reading a few other expat blogs.
