From cars to mobile phones, from clothes to buildings, their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢华) is not there. Another reason is health. Nordic (北欧的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals,” said Trina Hahnemann, a Danish cook.
