Danish Winter Gloom, LGBT News and Denmark’s Spiciest Tradition . This week, Fionn and Katie, two internationals making sense of life in Denmark, talk about the reality of the Danish winter darkness and how to cope with it, what the EU’s new same sex marriage ruling means in practice, and the surprising birthday custom that leaves 25 year olds covered in cinnamon.
