9th-10th March - The Inte-nse Inte-rnational Week :) - Monday&Tuesday

Week 11 was very "intense time of Living and Learning Together". 14 more students from the whole Europe came to enjoy and learn for one week with us. Moreover, some Danish students joined us. All of them really quickly fit in our group, we became a big "team".


On Monday morning we, and especially the "intenational students", were nicely welcomed and introduced to the whole programme. We did some "get-acquainted" activities and then we had music with Annette. Then the international students had a Danish Educatoinal System lesson and Tour of College, therefore we had some freetime. After that we had a Danish lesson altogether. And then the walk through Haderslev with our History-teacher followed. Eventhough it was raining pretty much, nobody wanted to missed that. It was really interesting to hear more about Haderslev from such an educated (and also entrertaining :) )person.

In the evening we were all invited to the canteen for a dinner and so called "Get-together-evening". ...It fulfilled its name very well! :)
We ate a delicious dinner (frikadeller couldn´t be missing :), of course), spoke a lot together, had a lot of fun...Also time for quitar and singing came (we sang mostly Danish songs, sure...Our pronunciation was excellent :D ;)) And we spontaneously started to some games altogether, it was very good time...
And we didn´t want to go home too early, we just wanted to spend more time together, so we finished the day with going for a beer...:)

























On Tuesday we went together with Canan, Zep, Noemi and Máté to ESBJERG. The others went for a trip to Ribe, but we had unfortunately been there before, so we didn´t join them. Canan and Zep needed a stamp to their visas, so we traveled with them to the International Department at police station in Esbjerg. After about half an hour they finally got it - you can see their really happy faces! :)

Than we travelled to the Esbjerg´s seashore, where we could find four big white statues. Canan had a very good wisecrack - she called them "four men on the toalet" :D These men are pretty lucky - they can sit, relax and watch the beautiful sea all the time ;)

After we were thinking about going to the "Fish-and-Sea Museum" with a huge aquarium, but unfortunately it was very expensive, 80 DKK. Therefore we decided to go to Ribe directly. However, we saw a giant whale-skeleton in front of the museum...Astonishing!

That day the weather was beautiful, that´s why Ribe looked different, even nicer then last time. I took loads of pictures again. Unfortunately we didn´t spent so much time there, we just deliver Canan to the others and then we left...




Anyway, we stopped on the way home at the seaside near Ribe, the place, where enormous flocks of birds can be seen, but unfortunately we saw none :) Nevertheless, the place was very beatutiful and I could see about 3-or4-metres-high embankment, which protect the land from high water during sea-storms... There were also colourful Danish houses, in my opinion a lovely place where to live...

7th to 8th March - A Hamburg-Visit

We decided to make a weekend-trip to Hamburg togehter with Noemi, Máté, Zep and Míša. The four of us sleept in my friend - Lena´s flat and Míša visited her friend whom she knows from Iceland. I know Lena from my volunteer summer work in London ane I have to say - IT IS GREAT TO HAVE FRIENDS ALL OVER THE WORLD - even in this part of Europe ;) You can see much more then. I also visited my Czech grammar-school-mate Lenka there, I spent really good time in Hamburg.
I saw not only the historical buildings as St. Nicolaj Church or Rathaus like ordinary tourists, but also various parts of the town where my friends live or spent their free-time. I was invited for a cake by Lenka´s house-keeper (I had to speak German! :)) in the beach-area of Hamburg, I visited Lena´s parents in Northern part of the city, we slept in young-people´s flat in the centre...had a coffee in students´café with Lena, we went by public-transportation --ferry... So I could see Hamburg really more from "inside". I love this kind of travelling!

28th Feb - Trip to Kolding

At weekend we made a trip to Kolding with Máté, Noemi, Zep and Anja.
We visited a honey-shop on the way and then the old Kolding castle, nursery museum and we walked along the fjord. I was also in the swimming pool in Kolding to stretch my achy back. There are a few photos...

10th and 11th Feb - Excursions

Since other students in Denmark had holidays that week, we had less school and more travelling ;). On Tuesday we went to Aarhus (on the North of Jutland). We travelled by IC train (I enjoyed again :)!) We got some tasks in groups for the excursion - each group should plan and introduce us some part of the trip. I like that, because the excursion was more "ours" then. Some groups were finishing their teamwork during the travel...:)



First group led us from the train-station to the Old Town - the oldest open-air museum in the world. And they introduced us that we could find 75 houses brought from the whole Denmark to the Old Town - on from Haderslev too... Then he had 90 minutes to go on our own to see all the old beauty and experience the atmosphere of old way of life, crafts...

You can watch for more on the slideshow below... (also the Cathedral and Aros Museum, which the other groups introduced to us after...) Enjoy!;)


...OK, I am sorry, the programme for the video-making is always falling down. So the video is only on my computer, but I am not able to put it here now. I hope I can manage later. If not, for my family and friends it is in my comp for later...


On Wednesday we had a "buddy day", therefore we arranged a trip with Carsten. Nevertheless, we were quite tired after the previous-day trip to Aarhus, that´s why we decided to go to more calm place to relax a bit. We travelled by car to thee coast on the East. It was the first time in my life I had seen snow on the sandy beach. :) And also swans at the sea. (I thought they live only on fresh water (on ponds and lakes like in the Czech Republic). OK, that´s way a swan is the Danish national animal.

Then we went by car two or three more kilometres to the South - to Kalvo island. Kalvo is a tiny island, therefore we can walk aroud it in two ours. I enjoyed the walk very much because of the beautiful nature, calm atmosphere and sunny weather. We saw also a viking ship and we met only a few houses. In my opinion it must be pretty nice to live there. I found the landscape and nature rather similar to the Czech and I felt almost at home there...

Later in the afternoon we came home and Mate with Noemi prepared very delicious lunch for all of us. Afterwards, we played a card game "bohnanza" together. Since then we play the game very often with my flatmates, because we found it very enjoyable.
Anyway, the whole day was very enjoyable and we "charged our batteries" a little bit. "Tak, Carsten". ;)
