Denmark

Denmark was once the home of the Vikings along with Norway and Sweden. Nowadays Denmark is a prosperous country with a developed economy. According to the world bank Denmark has the most free labor market in Europe. Emloyers have a tremandeous flexibilty in hiring and firing employees and between jobs the unemployment compensations are very high. Denmark is ranked as one of the countries where you can easily do business. Establishing a business in Denmark can be done very quickly at a low cost.
Denmark is a member of the European Union and follows the policies set forth in the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union, but they didn't adopt the Euro. Their currency is still the Krone.
During this journey we stayed in Copenhagen which is the center for the bright green environmental movement in Denmark.(Bright green environmentalism aims to provide prosperity in an ecologically sustainable way through the use of new technologies and improved design) In Copenhagen you'll find some of the most important environment research institutions such as the Copenhagen University.

55% of Copenhageneres commute by bycicle every day and 65% of all hotels have environmental certifications. Denmark also invested a lot on sustainable energy by using energy sources such as wind power.
While staying in Copenhagen I've had some interesting conversations with some students. It appears that university education is free of charge. Furthermore students in Denmark receive finiancial support up to $1000 per month. Denmark attracts international students every year due to the high standart of their education and the fact that almost all courses can be followed in English. On the other hand living in Copenhagen can be expensive. Renting a room will be more expensive than in Belgium but the rooms will be of a higher standard.
If you are subscribed as a student in Denmark you are automatticaly granted acces to free medical treatments except for dental care.
In my opinion Danish have a very high standard of living and Denmark is an example for all other European countries.
