Default Re: Is it correct english?

Back in 1999 in Denmark - the day after I got my first "real" flashlight, a Surefire 9p... 234 USD, but at that time, I used 7 USD for each 123A battery - my sister lost one of her earrings in her car and asked me if I had some kind of flashlight she could use to search for it. I was proud to introduce her to my new flashlight and I expected some kind of thumbs-up reaction afterwards. She came back a half-hour later, smiling about finding her earring, and mumbling something about "changing the old batteries."

(where did you mean to place the in Denmark? All that battery info could be shortened. It distracts from the sentence.)
