"Hello, my name is Danish"

Hi there!

Often, when I'm out, I get asked where my name is from because it's unusual in England. I've had from "Is it Polish?" to "Were your parents hippies or summat?" (yes, they do actually say summat instead of something) to which I reply that my name is strange due to my Danish heritage (imagine the people I'd be talking to say "Ooooh!" by this point).

But to be quite honest, I don't talk that much about the fact that I'm Danish, because it's not the first thing that springs to mind (and quite frankly, I've been a bit embarrassed about it due to Denmark's human rights breeches and having the Danish People's Party in power), but after Denmark had an election two days ago, I feel I can finally talk about it again and be less embarrassed about my own country. But enough about politics.

I've recently been listening to a lot of Danish music (including added song), and it's brilliant. I often forget how good Danish music can be, and I'm beginning to throughly enjoy that.

And so what if I've got to wear a nametag saying "Hello, my name is Danish" whenever I go out? At least I can enjoy some music that the people in England would never get the chance to hear. :)
