Denmark tidbits
The big game will begin in a few hours. Before I go home and get ready for it, I wanna just write a few interesting facts about Japan's opponent tonight, Denmark. I will list the tidbits, so see if you can learn something new.
1. Denmark is about the same size as Kyushu Prefecture.
2. Denmark's population is about 5,500,500 people. That is about half of the population in Tokyo.
3. Goods are expensive in Denmark because the consumption tax is 25%. That's right, a whopping 25%!!! The consumption tax in Japan is 5% now, but the government is contemplating raising it to 10% in the near future.
4. 40% of the people in denmark commute to work by bicycle. (One reason for this is the tax on cars is 180%!)
5. Denmark is famous for fairy tales, and Legos. Did you play with Legos when you were a kid? I did!!
6. Denmark, along with Germany, is a huge beer drinking country. About 10,000,000 beers A DAY are drank in Denmark.
7. England is famous for the rude and obnoxious and crazy soccer fans who are called "Hooligans." But Denmark has their own soccer fans, known as "Roligans." They are calm and quiet.
Anyway, I am heading home now. May the best team win!!
Below is my favorite hang out in Honmachi: Utsubo Park
