30th Jan - 1st Feb First Weekend in Haderslev

I had had three free days-off for an acclimatization and exploring Haderslev before my school started, and my flat mates from Hungary should have come by car some time on Saturday. On Friday I went shopping to the closest supermarket Remo 1000 and to the pedestrian street in the centre. Oh, and I found shopping in Denmark a bit uneasy. Why? Since I didn´t know ANY word in Danish and needed to find some stuff in the shops. But names of goods are written mostly only in Danish. So I spent a lot of time with shopping :-D

Later the sun shine up for a short time. The first time when it´s not completely dark in Denmark. :-) That´s why I ran for my camera and took pictures of my room and house where I live. The house is very cosy and comfortable (the Danes would say "hyggelig") and it´s in the old (and really beautiful) part of Haderslev.

In the afternoon two girls from Erasmus came to visit me. It was very nice of them. So I already knew 2 of my new schoolmates :-)

At 4 p.m. we went to Kafka café for a cup of coffee together with Carsten. (the café is named after the Czech writer, but nobody knows why. Anyway-a bit of Czech culture there ;-) ) We spoke about Erasmus stay, Denmark, travelling and we could ask Carsten about Danish culture. And we learnt a first Danish word - "Tak" ("Thanks"). We learned that typical Danish meal is meatballs with brown sauce :-)

Then we went together to Friday Café then. The semifnal of handball was played at that time, therefore many Danish students came to watch it, the room was "overcrowded" :-) However, there was a little bit too smoky air to me... We spoke to a few of European students and then I left with Carsten to meet my new flatmates - Maté and Noemi. They already crossed Europe and were approaching Haderslev. I was really curious how this people, a married couple, would be... (Won´t they be too serious? Or uncompanionable?)
Everything wrong! ;-)

Maté and Noemi are very nice, friendly and team people with very good sense of humour. And I am sure, we are going to have a very good time together :-)
We had a dinner together on Friday evening and I tasted Hungarian salami... We also decided to cook for each other and swich every third/fourth day. Therefore teamwork and "Living and Learning Together" starts :-))

On Saturday we went for a walk in Haderslev together with Carsten. I found out that Haderslev is very beautiful town. We were in the centre, but also at the harbour and lake... I am looking forward to time spent in Haderslev and its surroundings very much...

We invited Carsten for lunch and I cooked for us for the first time. And then we played anboard game Al Grande together. We enjoyed it very much and were laughing almost all the time. Carsten left us around 7 p.m....We had really good day together...
