This time we went to a very local restaurant that served oysters. We got three dozens of oysters and had an oyster feast which was super delicious. Whilst eating oysters we talked a lot about the different education systems. To a Dane, the thought of paying a huge amount of money just to go to college is mad. In Denmark you do not pay anything to go to college (only the reading material but that's it). You will actually receive a monthly grant (approximately 800-900$ before tax) from the government when you are over the age of 18 and studying. This is possible because of the high tax rates. I value this very much because you do not have to worry about student debt or whether or not you can afford the education you want. Olivia told me about all of the financial stuff that goes into affording college: massive loans, scholarships, and the parents sometimes paying.
