Which is the only event here on the first day - besides an evening reception tonight.
***** footing of course refers to a cat walking carefully; any other connotation is in the minds of the moderator who removed this wordThanks, Roskilde.
I plain forgot to add in connection with the Minister for Trade and Developement, Mogens Jensen, that he is gay.
Not that it would influence him IMO, because he has never made an issue out of that and why should he?
Our Africa correspondent, the venerable Ulrik Ulriksen's reports are pouring in: Kronprinsesse Mary talte sex og HIV-smitte med unge i Sydafrika | Billed Bladet
While visiting the clinic, Mary got an enthusiastic reception by some of the young. Including a dance with a young local gentleman.
The article says the typical Danish style about calling a spade a spade and talking directly about the issue was something the young weren't used to, but nevertheless appreciated. (*)
(*) According to a number of foreign comments about living in DK, that is one of our most prevailing traits. I.e being very direct!
That has led to a number of cultural clashes, because foreigners settling and working in DK can expect to be told if there is something that annoys their co-workers. Don't expect any *****-footing. Whether that is good or bad, well, you be the judge.
Our Marie experienced that early on, when being asked directly about a pregnancy. Something she obviously wasn't used to and which embarrassed her a little.
ADDED: Interesting! I see p...y-footing has been censored automatically, I thought it was a common expression.
A large gallery from Royalista with some very nice pictures from yesterdays visits
