Danish anecdotes #1

Denmark is a funny place to be. Sometimes it is sunny and you wish you didn't leave your shorts at home. On the other day, it's pouring rain and you wish you could bring your rain boots (Gummistiefel) to a sport-themed party. Is farming a sport?

There's something special about living in a new country. Every day is a Day. When back home, days are turning in weeks and months and time is passing by without us appreciating little things.We take everything for granted. I know how lame this sounds, I really do but my point is that staying abroad - having to adapt to the local culture, having to socialize to make friends, being far far away from the comfort zone - makes us see things in a different light. All of the sudden, all the little things that we don't even think about back home, are a new adventure here.


Back home withdrawal of money from an ATM is not a big deal. But here? What the fuck should you do when the atm gives you the lowest amount of money possible - 1000 DKK (134 EUR)? Laugh, my dear kid. You can just laugh and then wish you will be able to buy a beer for it.

By the way, do I look like someone named Masoud? That's what the Jehovah's Witnesses thought when they rang the bell of our apartment. And no, I don't speak Persian. However, I enrolled for Chinese.

And hey ho guys back in Bratislava, you better be happy with the night lines of buses departing every hour. You don't want to end up like me, walking back home from the downtown to the campus at 2 AM. Thank you, Google Maps - you made us walk through forest and fields.

And if you guys ever consider getting a very nice mattress for free, remember - it's too good to be real. And that's another story about how me and Dido wanted to take a double size mattress to a bus with us and the bus driver just told us to fuck off. I am feeling sorry for Dido. But - we did our very best. 


That's it. Have lovely days people and remember - if you go to Vorspiel and hear Danish, it's Norwegian.
