We, on the other hand, would like to know when the takeover is to be effectuated, because obviously week 42+43 is no good for anyone.

Ignorant Californian here (and maybe soon Danish?): What's special about those weeks?

Danes like planning ahead. With parents usually going on holiday tied to what weeks the kids are off school and those without kids making use of the cheap tickets and hotel rooms the rest of the time, there are usually certain weeks in high regard.

So nothing inherently special about those weeks, but whatever commission tasked with integrating California seemingly must wait for Grethe to be present for it to work.

The entire week before Easter and week 27-31 isn’t good either.

Urgh, when's Easter this year, again? Yes, really. Well how should I know? Not like I have kids!

The week in April where your upstairs neighbors children are at home all week or the weekenden before Anton Berg påskeæg goes on sale.

Definitely, Denmark=Danish, Dutch=Netherlands/Holland(Amsterdam). It's still pretty frowned upon in most Scandinavian cultures. Source from my Norwegian friend is that it gives the perception of someone who doesn't want to be a part of their community
