In the latest case a Danish backpacker who intervened to rescue another tourist from locals ended up being convicted of assault.
Playing home field in a court matters and also to consider is the fact that Denmark is at war several places in the world fighting terrorism. While New Zealand must be considered to be on the same side as a nation, individuals might not share the politics.
Being a tourist outside Denmark is not the smartest move and we must recommend that Danes avoid countries like New Zealand right now.

Not xenophobia - victim of cruel nature
So far three students have lost their lives during skiing holidays. Also this year we were not spared of such tragedies. For the second year in a row a young Dane lost his life at Bad Gastein.
How is it that we continue to lose such young lives who have not lived long enough so they could fulfill their potential. Can anything be blamed on the local population?
The answer is no. In fact it is important the the students continue to travel as they do and socialize as they have done until now because we are talking about losing a vital part of conducting their social lives if they stopped to travel to Austria.
They need to be prepared to the customs of the Friday bars at their future job once they are graduating the schools.
The young man lost his life because he fell off a cliff when returning to his hotel after a long night of afterskiing. Nothing much could have been done to prevent it as the conditions in the area are of a dangerous nature due to the staff working in the area. The danger was known in advance.
But a death is still a death. It is a terrible loss for his family. A solution could be that parents in larger number accompanied the students on the holiday and volunteered as night owls in Austria so they could see to that the students returned safely to their hotels.
May lives be spared in the future

This must be the last year
Once again people cannot settle by enjoying the good money they earn by having Danes visiting.
They want the Danes to buy a lot of alcohol and then they expect the Danes to throw it out and drink milk instead so they don't have to take the consequences. The people living around Les Arcs are angry because their sales come with a cost. What kind of business doesn't cost connected to the sale.
It has to stop at some point. All the young Danes do are partying while they travel. It is quite normal. In fact the Sun spoke of a cultural difference hitting Brits as xenophobia when they visited countries in the Middle East.
The solution is clear. We need to create a party holliday area where the young people can go and enjoy their holliday. They are working on such a solution down at Falster. Maybe next the youth traveling abroad for holidays or to take a course down in Marienlyst where the new party aread it built.
