They are certainly welcome in Solvang.
Won’t hear much about this on the nightly news.

Come on over, Danes!
I’m likewise trying to enjoy what I can of the United States while we are still a free nation.
“Danes can feel like wealthy plantation barons...”
Should we warn them about that cultural landmine or just let them find out for themselves?
As long as they come on foot, cause there'll certainly be no place to park.
European prices are up to double what we pay locally, thanks to consumption taxes and layers of regulation that lead to higher prices there. A shopping trip to buy the exact same items (except for labeling) in New York as in Denmark can more than pay for airfare and hotel costs. This is why they show up stateside.

“We ought to get together each other more frequently.”
:D
Sorry.
How come they’re not flocking to places like Alabama? I mean, in Alabama they’ve got...uh...never mind.
Tack så mycket for the article.
That’s pretty much my limit on Swedish.
Should have paid more attention to my Dane, Swede and Norwegian ancestors. :)
