While in Holland I would always end up with the post-communistic socialist party (SP), here I seem to end up with the Socialdemokraterne (Social Democrats, Labour, PvdA equivalent in Holland). What I find surprising is that there’s also a member of the social democrats on my list of people where I agree the least with. And Kristendemokraterne (Christian Democrats, CDA).. how did that end up on my list? I’d never ever vote that in Holland. It seems that the parties here take less stand as a whole but let their individual members speak out their opinions, at least a lot more than they do in Holland.

Ok, back to my saturday edition of Politiken to read more about these parties and their stands.

Too bad I can’t vote…

The Danish PM called for elections today to be held on the 13th of November. I can’t vote myself but I will be following this with a lot of interest. Too bad that’s only 3 weeks away. I would’ve loved to see some more debating going on.

To follow the news, I subscribed myself to a trial membership of Politiken, a left-of-the-middle newspaper. Also good for practicing my Danish

Aww, they sung me a danish birthday song at the class today!

Rico har fødselsdag,
Og det har han jo,
Og det er idag.
Rico har fødselsdag,
Og det har han jo idag!

Og hør nu her,
Hvordan vi alle [insert playing instrument verb here] vil. 2x

HEY!

The Danish government has been very stubborn of using the term Holland instead of the correct Netherlands to name my home country (Holland is just a part of The Netherlands).

I found out that they’re in the process of changing this to Nederlandene though. Post Danmark has been one of the first to put this change in their systems. And the police in København too, because a dutch guy complained when he got ‘Holland’ on his new drivers license…

One of the most disgusting things in danish ‘cuisine’.. Fiskefrikadeller, aka fiskedeller. YUCK!

Many Danes become irritated when foreigners speak Danish with an accent, according to a study conducted at the University of Copenhagen. Read the full article here.

And then they wonder why they’re slacking at integration..

I think I passed my Danish Integration Test this weekend..

I passed my first danish exam today with full marks (96 out of 96 points) being the best in class! I’m proud of myself!

Also.. someone selected one of my photos from Amsterdam for a travel guide, and I have a dinner date tomorrow!

Ok, time to write something negative about Denmark. They seriously should reconsider opening times of shops! It’s saturday 17:30 and all supermarkets are closed already It’s raining, and I’m hungry!

Jeg er hollænder og jeg tale selfølgelig hollandsk men jeg tale også lidt dansk!

En, to, tre… tyve!

Oh, and the book we’re using is the same one Princess Mary used!
