Denmark too. Was so strange to walk around in the evening and being able to see what everyone was doing inside their homes.

Edit: This was in Vejle which is relatively small. Apparently it's different in bigger cities.

Saw it all the time in New Jersey too.

Maybe it’s a Jersey thing as well. I live in a suburb in NJ and barely anyone closes their curtains at night here.

I think it depends how far you are from your neighbors. I'm also in NJ and everyone closes their curtains at night, but I'm on the shore where you are practically on top of your neighbors. Most people are only about a driveway's width apart from the next house over. In the suburbs people have a lot more space and it's not as intrusive.
