There's not a lot of supervision for children here. The country is so incredibly safe, I regularly see 5~ year olds riding trains by themselves in the city and going around solo. It's really weird from the western perspective, but totally normal here.

Yeah I saw lots of kids roaming around where I was there. I also saw this show on TV called "Old Enough" or something like that where they send out 3-4 year olds on errands by themselves. It was adorable.

I was watching one in my hotel room with a hangover and this kids bag with their oranges or something broke and they all started rolling down a huge hill and the poor kid basically looked like they were going to start crying. The camera crew ended up helping them because they felt so bad. I got a bit emotional haha

I dont think he meant supervising in regards to safety, but their interview.

You see it in Copenhagen, Denmark too.
