Leisure
It is very common for Danes to join a sports club or to do after school activities. There is a large range of possibilities both especially in the cities and towns, a little less in the rural areas.
SUMMER ACTIVITIES
People in Denmark like to go to the beach. With almost 9.000 km of coast line, it is alwasy easy to find a peaceful place where you can take a swim. The only problem is the weather, as it rains a lot in Denmark. The average temperature at summer is 21 degrees. If not very hot, you can enjoy the long light evenings.
People in Denmark use their bikes a lot. Many like to excercise and keep fit. There is hardly a sport that you can't find in Denmark. We are very fond of soccer and handball.
WINTER ACTIVITIES
We do not get a lot of snow, nor do we have mountains, so skiing is something we go to Norway, Sweden or Austria to do.
Instead we like to stay home to "hygge". We like to have a good time with friends and family in a nice and cosy atmosphere
AFTER SCHOOL JOBS
Many young people get a job after schcol. It could be at supermarkets, restaurants or shops... They like to earn some pocket money to buy their own clothes and other stuff.
