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.

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.
