But a rather negative thought arose when watching that... Some would argue that our population is growing too fast, so should we stop taking vacations?

"Denmark has a broad-reaching welfare system, which ensures that all Danes receive tax-funded health care and unemployment insurance. Denmark ranked the first in the European pensions barometer survey for the past two years.[21] The lowest-income group before retirement from the age of 65 receive 120% of their pre-retirement income in pension and miscellaneous subsidies." and it has one of the highest tax-rates in Europe.

Still, I do love their cheese (is that inappropriate?) and their wood products (ouch) and I watch THE VIKINGS so I know alot about their tulips, their knives, and their waffles and those fine wines and perfumes are the best as is their whiskey. (see how many countries I screwed up here in my fantasy travels).
