Greg, you've no idea what you're talking about.

I know there are a lot of members from Toronto or London or Singapore or Bangalore or Sydney or Moscow on these forums. These are huge cities, much bigger than Copenhagen. And yet they never talk about this neighborhood or that as if they were entering a DMZ or an entirely different civilization.

 

[Hængebøffer]

So, if I travel to San Francisco and call you to meet up, would you just say "I'm in San Francisco"?

If you're including metro areas instead of just regionalizing, which was the whole point of the debate, then NYC goes from 8.3M to around 20M+. What's your point?

You pulled out the wrong number, that's why I said something. 1,3m is the number and you claimed 660k.

And it makes no sense to speak of Copenhagen as a whole, because the different bridges are so different from each other.

Could it be that Copenhagen is just different in that regard?

I probably wouldn't tell you I'm in Dogpatch heading to Hayes Valley if I'm announcing it to a bunch of folks in Helsinki and Doha.

Well, take it up with Google if you search "Copenhagen population" on a mobile.

Maybe not. I suspect that either Copenhagendazers think differently in that regard. Or maybe that's a more common mental orientation when culturally your nation and dominant language cover a much smaller geographic area.

A grumpy old man.

 

[Nzoric]

I did, just to doublecheck.

I propose you try visiting and spending a few weeks in the City before you conclude anything.

A grumpy, old and wrong man.

There's no difference from how people talk about neighbourhood's here and in the rest of the world.

Neighbourhood= a couple blocks sharing the same name/number no?

It is just parts of town.

A small* part, a bigger part would be a district. Well at least here.

The only reason I don't talk about hanging out in Indiranagar or meeting in friend in Jayanagar is because such level of detail is irrelevant to the folks here. But if I was talking to Asif, then I'd mention that cos he knows those places. So I'm with you here. I don't know why you'd need to mention your neighborhoods in a post not directed specifically to your fellow Danes. Cos for folks like us, that info is quite irrelevant.

That's what I called it first, but I thought Greg misunderstood it.

Edit: But you're right.

Søren I'll buy you driving moccasins from Østerbro, shades from Vesterbro, a beer on Nørrebro and I'll give you a lammer all the way from Sydhavn.

It is to me. I don't live in it, around it or have anything to do with it in my daily life.

I'm going to Indre By now. On my way I'll pass Østerbro and Nørrebro, and I might go to Nordvest afterwards.

Which is why there's no point in you and Greg commenting it. But just take a breather and read what you just wrote.
