I-Phone cost in Denmark (With contract) by abeee
Hello every one Can somebody please advise about the price of I-phone in Denmark with a contract with a good servise company. Phones without contract are very costly. Since most websites are in Danish, I am not able to figure that ...
I opted for the 18 month contract, because it lowers the monthly payments. If you can afford to purchase an iPhone before getting a contract I believe you can sign up for 6 month contracts with Telia... Read More

CPH Meetup: Let's Organise Something Official by pixxelated
Hey guys, I'm new around these parts but I see a lot of haphazard "ok lets meet up" posts but nothing really happening to make it 'official' and give people a bit of notice. So I propose we meet up on Friday 24th June at 19:30 at The Old English ...
It's a shame. I'd love to attend something like this but alas I am out of town tonight. Maybe I'll go if you guys decide to repeat! Read More
Some guidance... by pratik
Dear Friends, I hope you all are enjoying the summer in this beautiful country and looking forward to Easter Break. I am a potential newcomer to Copenhagen and without disturbing you too much, would like to request your guidance in taking the ...
1 & 2: 45,000kr is more than enough for one person. The tax rate raises depending on how much you earn. I think for your salary it will be around 36%. 3: You will be able to hire a 1 room apartment for 5,000kr. In that price range I imagine you'll ... Read More

Cost of living in Denmark (update) by theeternaloptimistic
Hello all, I have followed the other thread but the information seems outdated since now we are in 2011. I have been offered a placement with a Danish company for a year. It's my first placement abroad. I would be very grateful if someone could ...
If your bills and rent are paid and you are left with 5,000kr you will be able to survive, but it'll be very tight. I personally think that if you're planning on sending some of your salary back home it won't be possible. You won't have to pay for ... Read More
Health Care in Denmark by ankittech
Hi, How public health care system works in Denmark ? Does patient pays for in part or total cost of inpatient, outpatient, dental, prescription drugs, eye care from his/her pocket or its all paid by govt. from tax collections ? Regards Ankit
But you need to meet certain (and strict) requirements to get one. A person can't just walk up to the Borgerservice and get a CPR number without an 'acceptable' reason for being in Denmark. Even if they're an EU citizen ;)What? I lived in Paris with ... Read More

Hi Ankit (: I'm Danish, so you can trust me on this. If you're from the EU, you get exactly the same health care as the Danes. I'm pretty sure it's the same for people coming from outside of the EU. When you come from an EU-country you simply go to ... Read More

Hi Guys and Gals I'm moving to London next week with a friend of mine. We will be looking for a 2-bed flat to move in to. Anyways, We are looking on the rightmove and gumtree websites and would like some ideas about which areas would be best to ...
Some parts of east London are rough. Not all of it. I grew up in London so I know it quite well. If you're working in Victoria I suggest going south. This is because all trains out of the station head south. Places in Zone 2(Battersea, Clapham ... Read More

You might have to consider looking for a job outside of the field of your degree. That's if you want to move here as soon as possible. I can imagine that it is difficult job seeking from the UK but I don't know for sure. I would personally jump ... Read More
