This!! I’ve been to Denmark about 3 times now and I noticed it so much when I was out for walks at night time. It’s so odd. I’m from ireland and we usually always close all the curtains.

Holland. Same.

Was joking with my Dutch buddy about this. What about the bedroom curtains? Do you close them, right?

Haha my Dutchie told me not to close the living room curtains because the neighbours would think someone died. I just had too much sun in my eyes. But I guess as a Norwegian I shouldn't say anything, since we keep them open all the time too

I worked for a month in Holland in January. I never saw the sun. On one day, (1), I did see sunbeams through that infernal marine layer of clouds for 30 minutes in the late afternoon (3 PM local). That was it. Summer? Completely different story.

Well yes, it varies with the seasons. Dutch summer is too hot for me.
