Oprah, Denmark and the famous baby carriages

Millions of women have seen the show about Denmark in Oprah’s show. I have been living in Denmark for the past 5 years, lived in the Twin Cities for 8 and 16 in Brazil, where I am originally from. So, I have my views on the positive and negative aspects of living in all 3 countries.

Overall I thought the show was good, a little too “cinderella like”, but good – although Oprah did not mention that daycare is not free, it is a subsidized service and most of my friends with children are very happy with the quality of care their children receive, but not with the price, which is about 2300 kr (460 dollars) per month.

We are having a very good discussion on the forum about the show, check it out: Oprah Winfrey’s views on Denmark

Please leave a comment on this blog post about your thoughts of the Danish system, as shown by the women in the show.
