And you've managed to reinforce just about any stereotype of the arrogant pretentious European that assumes ignorance is a strictly American trait since as you saw, OP is not American.

Neither are nearly as true as many like to believe.

I missed that as well. I based my assumption on the comment "student in New Jersey". I missed the annotation on the side indicating nationality. Regardless of nationality, he is explicitly comparing the housing market there to the US housing market. So, um, not quite sure how foolish to feel.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. I found the blog post a bit grating as well; we all have expectations that when not met can be a maddening ordeal, but this one just seemed uninformed from the get-go.

FWIW: I'm not sure I trust the listings: Living in Iran, nationality is Korean and the only language listed is English (and no gender specified). So I'm not sure that information is trustworthy. He/she might actually be American. I have a hard time believing someone is Korean (nationality, not ethnicity) and only speaks English and also lives in Iran but only speaks English. The hodgepodge of answers might indicate "I desire to protect my privacy" more than anything else. (And the writing sounds "American" in style to me. I didn't notice any expressions typical of, say, Brits or Aussies. Many foreigners who speak English as a second language speak/write British English rather than American English.)

And I suppose I found the post rather grating as well. I'm annoyed it got my goat. I wish I hadn't said certain things in some of my posts, regardless of what this individual's nationality turns out to be, presuming it can ever be realistically determined/verified.

Peace.

The amount of discussing the messenger instead of the message in this thread is staggering but I'll bite anyway:

- Country, nationality and language are required fields in this site. Since leaving them blank was not an option, putting some blatantly bogus values was the second best.

- My nationality is besides the point but I'm not American. The "American" writing style may be thanks to watching too many American movies, frequenting too many American speaking forums or - guess what - living there as an expat for several years.

Thank you for clarifying that.

FWIW: I tend to attract way too much attention to me instead of my message. I have used that fact as a means to help me learn to express myself differently. That is not intended to blame you. It is intended to empower you: How we present information has a significant impact on how people respond to it.

Best of luck with your situation, whether you stay in Copenhagen or not.
