I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains．The sun was setting when my car broke down near a remote and poor village．Cursing my misfortune, I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to who should have the honor of receiving me as a guest in their house．Finally, I accepted the offer of an old woman who lived alone in a little house．While she was getting me settled into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometres away where there was a garage．
I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess's courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table．Some villagers brought me goat's cheese and honey．We drank together and talked merrily till far into the night．
When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I had caused her．

“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, considering their country's size and population, in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian．
The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there．Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world．
Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany's biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don't have to make a great living to survive．”
