Culturel differencies...

Everybody is out - all the time... here in Brasilia at least.

I am always getting surprised at night, from 5pm until midnight, many restaurants are fully booked and even people waiting in line close to midnight for something to eat... I am amazed.
On fridays you can find people parking in 2. or 3. line outside restaurants and bars and people parked in line just to deliver the car at the parking service... it's crazy !

Let me say that in Denmark, during the weekends, Copenhagen is crowded too. But many people are parking in separate parking areas (paying a small fortune) and walking the last way or they drive by taxi (or even by bicycle). As the weather is quit cold in Denmark (already 5-7 degrees in Oct.) a lot of people tend to stay in the warmth of their home. Of course people living in the center itself go out more. 

Rarely though, you will see huge queues outside restaurants and bars. Exceptions is at the nightclubs or for special events. 


So, this really explains a lot about why there is such a big difference in personality between the two cultures. 
This could also explain why people in Denmark are so closed. You really experience the big difference when one actually get away from it, and being more objective.

Much more sunshine and much longer days with light, makes people more energetic and happy...


I prefer to smile (and I love the sunshine and warmth) !
