I have the same feeling whenever I visit Mexico or have family or friends visiting me over here. Even though the Internet keeps you in the loop much better than you would in years past, you lose the ability to put things in context, not to mention you lose track of what is considered cool and what is not. In any case, I think your Denmark adventure will be one of the best things that will ever happen to you, because it will give you some perspective on things, that tends to be missing in most Americans since the culture is so insular. Whatever you love about the country you will now love out of knowing that it can be different, and that difference can be for the worse. On the flip side, you can also understand what can be done better. Just my two cents. I totally understand.
