My mom and I are considering visiting Denmark next year. We're part Danish, but we know next to nothing about our Danish heritage. So we think it'd be nice to visit.

I went to Denmark a couple of years ago. It's a nice country, though the people weren't generally as friendly as the Dutch or Belgian people. That's probably more to do with the fact that they weren't used to seeing tourists from England, and that we didn't know a word of Danish.
It's because of the cold. If you froze your butt off and the only redeeming feature was pastries, you would have a surly attitude as well.

True, true. That would explain a lot about the Scots too - just replace pastries with haggis and sporrans
No offence meant to any Scottish people here, btw.

The Scottish tend to be very friendly, not surly.
