2. Thnx. RnB is not such a big thing in DK, but there’s a super specialized store http://www.blackout.dk
   I use Blue Oceans linked to advising on new product offerings & new creative positioning strategy. What are you up to in DK?

3. wow - very specialized don’t think I’ve seen anything that specific in the US, good to know about thanks for the info. The job offer I’m considering is as a legal advisor to Maersk - but during my time at Insead and since graduation I have been thinking about starting a business and Denmark is one of the markets I am hoping to target (along with the rest of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and Benelux). Anyway I was originally considering starting in Germany but I think my lack of German language abilities may slow me down more than I would like, so I’ve broadened my horizons to other countries where I may be able to move around more easily until I learn to speak the local language, and after visiting Denmark a couple times last year, found it to be easier to navigate than I expected. I am still in research mode though so I will see what else I can find out. Have you found the process of establishing companies in Denmark to be straightforward?

4. Copenhagen is cool. Give it a go. It’s relatively easy to get a company going - only most info is in Danish, as this relavant site shows: http://www.eogs.dk/

5. Thanks, I will definitely give Copenhagen serious consideration. I will be in the US for some time doing some research and deciding my next move. If I decide on Copenhagen, I would like to find out more about what kind of consulting you do - I am not there yet, but am thinking about strategic positioning/marketing - or alternatively, if you know of anyone who does that kind of consulting.

7. I googled blog - denmark and blog - copenhagen, denmark. I don’t remember which actually brought up your page, but weird thing is it brought up the page where you listed music and not the main page.
   I checked out the webpage you recommended, thanks that is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Are you thinking of changing the direction of your blog?

9. Thanks - I may go in a couple of months to finish up my research and visit some friends in the UK, I will let you know the date. I don’t expect to be moving anywhere until around the end of the year though.
   I am based in Washington DC.
