Introduktion
My My perspective of England has been largely shaped by my two trips to the country. During the summer holidays of 2013 and 2014, I had the opportunity to attend summer school and language courses while residing with a host family in Southern England.

These experiences not only gifted me with cherished memories but also left me with profound insights into England's culture.

My host "parents" owned a fish and chips restaurant that we visited a few times. This iconic English meal is a must-try for anyone visiting England.

While it might not be the pinnacle of culinary excellence, it does embody the essence of being a tourist in England. Initially, it's delightful, and you feel like you can't get enough.

However, with time, it can become a bit monotonous, and by the end of two weeks filled with Yorkshire pudding and vinegar-drenched chips, you're eager to return home.

The food is undeniably indulgent but laden with calories, leaving you feeling like you've packed on a few extra pounds.

I must confess I held some stereotypes about the British people before my visit. I had this preconceived notion that they might be dull and challenging to connect with over an extended period.

However, my perception took a complete U-turn after interacting with the man behind the school I attended. He was an older gentleman but exceptionally engaging. Conversing with him was a delightful experience.

He was genuinely interested, shared intriguing anecdotes, and I could sense a vibrant personality beneath his somewhat outdated attire. He ensured that his communication was clear, all while maintaining a captivating British accent.

My prejudices were shattered, and I realized that making assumptions about people based on stereotypes was an oversimplification.

Although I encountered a few younger individuals and teenagers who appeared somewhat immature and superficial, I attributed this more to missed opportunities for meaningful conversations than a fair representation of the entire British youth. British teenagers would likely perceive Danish teenagers similarly, given the chance.
