Hej,

I recently moved to Denmark to study here. I'm living with 3 other dudes in the same room as me (about 13 m2 space altogether, I'd say). I think I got a better apartment, not sure yet, but I can't move there until October. This is OK for now, though. We don't have a kitchen here, which sucks. My roommate said he doesn't eat since he's Latin American and they're poor xD

Happily everybody speaks English because my Danish just isn't good enough. I'm living in this little English bubble here, which is kind of nice but kind of sucks, too (I'm not learning the language and don't have the energy to make an effort yet). The school is OK, I think. I'm studying to become some sort of field work researcher in developing countries, specializing in nutrition. I probably don't have the passion for it. It seems very introverted to say this, but I actually don't like travelling that much xD Still, it might not be a bad degree to have. I can't wait to get my degree (in 2 years..) and go back home and see what I've made of myself. I've been told I'll never have a totally normal life and I've taken that to heart.

Missing home and my friends a bit, but of course we have plenty of ways to stay in contact. And missing sex, unsurprisingly. Also, nobody can pronounce my name correctly. My surname's just impossible xD

So, do you have any tips about assimilating or any other advice? Or just share your experiences, I'd be interested in those, too.


Everything will start to suck and be different and you just want some damned streaky bacon and feckin pilsbury cookie dough. AND why is everything closed on a Wednesday!!

Then that passes and you get used to being where you are. The differences are not so difficult and you find you can be happy.

And you find they do sell streaky bacon and you can make your own cookie dough
