There are two doona's there :) It's to cold for my poor Aussie bones here!
My bookshelf! Note the butterflies - these were given to me by my INCREDIBLE mother for Christmas. I love them so much!
And this is best feature in my room. The sink. It is so good to be able to brush my teeth in my room! My heater is always on, so this means I don't have to venture into the cold to brush my teeth at night! Woo!
This is my window sill at the moment. Two vanilla scented candles, and some sort of Danish flower. I bought these at the local cheap shop for a couple of dollars each. They definitely make my room feel more cozy.
The food here is VERY different to home! Breakfast is similar to the standard Australian meal, however, muesli is not eaten with milk, but with yoghurt. This makes it more like Bircher muesli.
Lunch is the main meal of the day, where there is a hot main, with bread and cheese and a salad bar.
Dinner however is the most different. Leftovers from lunch is served again, with the same salad bar. Sometimes there is chocolate served with hot bread rolls and cheese. The rolls are cut in half and both the chocolate and cheese are put on the bun, which is closed again. The cheese and chocolate melts together. This is apparently a common dish. I found it pretty unusual! But it doesn't taste to shabby!
This is a photo of the second best meal I have eaten here in Denmark. So far, I have eaten a LOT of salad, because there are very limited gluten free options, but this salad topped them all!
The best meal I had here at the school was a nice hot and creamy potato bake. Man it was good!
I have been very busy settling in and learning names, and I have to say, I love it here. The kids are great, and the school is a great working environment. The cold is a bit of an issue, but I am beginning to shake the chill! Shock horror, I have even felt a little too warm after working hard on Pligt (duties or chores) with some of the kids. Every week we have three Danish classes, and so far I have learnt A LOT! Today in class I was able to, with the help of Jill (the cool Danish teacher), construct a short paragraph about what I did for christmas! I was pretty proud of myself!
Today was my day off, but I spent a lot of my time getting odd jobs done in regards to settling in fully. It's been a productive day! But I am looking forward to collapsing into my toasty bed!
Thank you all for your prayers, I ask you not to give up! I am sure I will need them daily. I love and am praying for you all, and wish you a wonderful week!
Hey Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteI love your room, it's so danish LOL.
You've got an amazing view from your window. How far is it to the water?
Love
Dad
Looks like a nice room, I know you'll make it cozy (I just wish we could be neighbours again!... I'm going to miss you unbelievably this year at College). Do you have access to a microwave? Do you have a wheat pack? That would make your bed nice and warm. Sending love and prayers your way Miss Caitlin xoxoxo
