Walking in the streets of Copenhagen each day is a test of my patience. (I have close to none.) Often people bump into one another and these incidences are never followed by a “oh, sorry” or “excuse me, sorry.” Thus, it is a major cultural difference.
Another aspect of Danish life that varies greatly from American culture can also be seen while strolling the city’s streets: Danish people are nearly always on time, but never seem to be in a hurry.
Also, everything is extremely expensive here. I've already paid 65 Kroner ($12.34) for a latte and pastry and 45 Kroner ($8.54) for a Vodka Cranberry. Sheesh. Luckily most of my meals are provided by my host family and a few places offer 10% student discounts.
