Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

When I was last in the US, most of the supermarkets and such had the eink displays, but most other places didn't yet.

Then there really are no excuses left for those supermarkets. Just a weird Americanism, like using imperial units.

like using imperial units.

Not even proper ones; they're US Customary units now so all the names are the same but many have different metric equivalents. As someone trying to convert his family recipes to metric and weight-based, this was maddening when all I could get were cup measures for the "wrong" size of cup. Add differences in flour between countries and that was a fun time.
