Denmark loves Bill. And I bet Bill loves Denmark.

I thought it was pretty awesome back in July when I visited the Danish embassy in Reykjavik and found a HUGE framed photo of Bill Clinton visible behind the service desk. Those Scandinavians love Bill. You can even order "the Clinton" at Bæjarins Beztu, Reykjavik's famous little hot dog stand by the harbour.

So now that I'm in Denmark this week, I've stumbled across another food service establishment touting its Clinton connections--Baresso Coffee, a Danish specialty coffee bar chain (think the Starbucks of Denmark).  These photos are from two different Baresso locations (yes I am a coffee addict)...

The man loves his fast food joints...

Apparently, Bill had a cup of "Java Jampit" in 2001. Big milestone, folks.

If any of you readers happen to be Danish, please jump in and comment about how you feel about Bill.

  1. Hi, I'm sort of like you a Canadian that is living and working in Sweden. Been here 3 years. My blog is capitalofscandinavia.blogspot.com. Best part is I'm coming to Iceland this Thursday! I'll be there for a week. I found your blog on an info search online. Email me if you have time to meet and talk about your experiences. Newton4all at gmail dot com

  3. Why do we love Clinton...?

    He did not start any wars (to speak of). He plays the sax. His worst scandals involved sex, not multinational corporations. He seemed to know what was up and down on a school book.
    ...and as I was recounting these reasons the other day my Icelandic husband went on a rant about how it does not matter at all who is president of the big bluff, it's all Zaphod Beeblebrox (Don't know Zaphod? Google him)... But I disagree. I felt the Clinton groove.
