  • I inherited the thing because I found it in my grandma’s closet when I was 6 and helping her clean her room. I asked her who owned it, and she said it was my dead grandpa’s violin. So I asked again, then who’s is it? She thought about it and said “I dunno, I guess whichever of you grandkids learns to play it first.”

    Have you had it insured? I see they go for roughly 20.000 to 150.000 USD, so I assume it’s an ‘of course I have’ moment, but you seem to be quite nonchalant with it so far :D











  • It’s not even that strict. In Denmark you have to have been a resident continually for 9 years, with no long periods of travel abroad, before you can even apply for citizenship, as well as a ‘permanent residence’ permit.

    You also have to have been employed continually for 3½ of the previous 4 years, have a clean criminal record, as well as pass several Danish exams and a citizenship test where you must demonstrate knowledge of Danish society, culture, history and so on.

    After that, you have to participate in a ceremony where you shake hands with the mayor or alderman of your municipality, sign a declaration where you swear to comply with the Constiturion, respect Danish values and laws, and support democracy.

    THEN your name is added to a formal law which must be passed by the parliament - as Danish citizenship is awarded by law.
