You are correct that I am embarassed about my ignorance about Denmark. As an good Engineer, a New Yorker, and NOW A TEXAN, and as an American, I have a very big ego so I do not stay embarassed for very long.
Americans are famous for their ignorance of their own country as well as the rest of the world. There is a New Yorker's view of the USA which starts in Manhatten, views the Hudson River and New Jersey on the other side. There is nothing else until Colorado(2000 miles away). I have lived in Florida (nothing to say other than where I lived was pretty) and now in TEXAS where there is history and unique character.
