The fundamental difference between people in T.O. and here is that in CPH, people grow up much, much faster. It's not strange to see a ten year old smoking and it's common for a 12 year old kid to drink and have a girlfriend. There's two cases in Denmark of 13 year old boys becoming Father's. What seems barbaric to Canadians, is actually government sanctioned. There's a new policy encouraging women to have children in their late teens and early twenties, so they won't have to miss so much work when they're in the workforce.
It seems superficial, but their expedited youth permeates most things and the strange result is an age obsessed culture. Psychologically, the people aren't fully formed - their quick advance ironically stunts emotional growth. They know how to look like they've got it under control, but these fuckers are a mess.

Dude - if we were in Copenhagan - our kids would be graduating University right now and having Frederick St. style nights like we did. We would be playing with our 8 year old Grandchildren. Aside from the Aquavit and the Santas in July - not too much redeeming about Cock n' Hagan.
