Hot Danes, Aj and death

So i give myself this small break after the Argentina-Korea game and write this post(and after study my bum off for tomorrows exam).

Since i'm going to leave Denmark soon i had to go and return the mobile Internet usb stick, which i haven't used in a few months, and that meant going to the "mall". I say mall but for me this is want a miniature scale model of a mall would look like. :P So i took the 2 minute walk to the center of town and into the mall. God damn i forgot how hot Danes actually are , like :OOOO Hottie next to a hottie , i hate them all :) Was feeling a bit too adventurous so i bumped(unintentionally *angel face*) into the bum of one ,ooops sorry was what i said but i wasn't sorry :P.

 Btw wouldn't mind having him next to me when i wake up :P

Just now i saw that one of the longest standing members of blogland and a very interesting blogger imo is saying goodbye to us. Aj's Ramblings would be missed i think by a lot of us, but i'm really glad that he found someone who he loves and who loves him , and so i wish him all the best in life.

Now the death part of the title. First of all it's not a person who is a relative,friend or whatever close to me i'm talking , it's of a material thing. Like wtf?! the laptop i'm writing on is just about 1 year old and it has a very annoying problem. Some 6 months ago the original hard drive died on me and i lost lot's of stuff and couldn't return it even after some geeky attempts at doing so. That was frustrating , because i lost stuff and also the warranty was such that i was forced to buy a new hdd myself or send the laptop back home and get it back whenever they felt it was ready (cuz the international warranty sucks ARSE). So as i needed the laptop for uni and everything else i bought a new one. Now some six months later it appears that this hard drive is showing the same symptoms as the other one before it died(even got the blue screen of death today). Here i must say that i'm super careful with my lappy and has never been dropped or mistreated in any way. But alas this things a bitch. If someone has any brilliant idea as to why this is happening please comment. If i loose my stuff again i'd be pissed. (for now i cannot bring the hdd back for warranty because i need the laptop working so i could study for exams *rolls eyes*)

Thoughts on Denmark

Now is the time!!! I had an overwhelmingly high demand for this post to appear here., over one person wanted me to write about this topic. Today i'll share my thoughts on Denmark - the good, the bad and whatever is on my mind. 

The holiday spirit is still here with me even tho i'm back to my mundane living in chilly Denmark and again having to do work for uni. So where do i start from .... First of all i should mention that i come from a more warm blooded country , so the first and most evident gripe i have about this country is it's weather. For mid-May having the temperature stay at 10-15 degrees for me is way out of the ordinary. This is something you get used to , but you don't get used to all the rain. Rain, rain , rain and then some. It was especially bad during the autumn where it was raining all day. If i remember correctly we had a sunny day once or twice for all of November. 

Another thing i don't like is the people here. I don't know if it's the culture, the way of thinking , but Danes are very, very cold people. Don't get me wrong here, if you ask them something or need something they'll most probably go out of their way to help you. So they are polite , but even when you have to work with them they keep to themselves, stay in their own danish groups and are generally not very communicative. In shops you'll see the cashiers smiling and on the street if you meet somebodies glance they could smile at you. Tho they are almost scared of foreigners, they don't like us and it shows. Also after 8 pm especially on a work day you cannot see almost anyone on the streets, it's deserted. I have been told tho that this is more like a central, northern European thing and not exclusive to Denmark. If they're not students they also rarely go out on weekend nights. Biggest problem i have tho is that it's extremely expensive. It's probably 2 times, or more, more expensive then from my country. It's ridiculous, in the UK it was cheaper for me if i should make a comparison.Also a person from Germany who came here also confirmed it's way more expensive. 

On the other side of things is that in Denmark people pay very high taxes which go to good use. Like my university is free for me as an EU resident. Also very good thing is that they have free medical care and everything seems to be quite clean and organized. Another thing i enjoy, most of the times, is the very relaxed way of living. People here are never in a hurry and this makes for an almost sleepy environment. A big thumbs up also from me is that Denmark is one of the most accepting countries in the world for gay rights. Here you can legally have a same sec marriage, if you want to adopt you have the same rights as a straight couple. Also there are lots and lots of beautiful blond people here, tho it's sad they are very nationalistic and from what i've heard they seldom date people from other countries. Also i like the fashion of saggers here and how they sag low :P .I give them high praise also for their dedication to a green future. I also like that most people speak English and a lot of them have a good level of it. 

I find weird their closed off market. No i don't say there is anything bad in selling danish goods for cheaper than the comparable foreign goods- they boost their own economy. What strikes me weird is that many brands that i was accustomed to see are missing from the danish supermarket. For example you cannot find Becks (beer), or Milka (chocolate), or Head & Shoulders (shampoo) , or Blend-a-med (toothpaste) and many more little examples like this.  It's also funny how they can easily pay for overpriced goods , but if they bring the price of coffee at uni by 1 or 2 krone you'll be hearing about it a lot :P.

Ok this is all i can think of now cuz this post took me around an hour and a half and i don't want to think any longer. I'd love to hear your input. Would be really interesting to hear from Daniel , as a fellow also living in Scandinavia, and Lunario, to see if there are that big differences in culture between 2 neighboring countries. Everyone else's point of view would also be really interesting for me aswell. 

See ya. Until we meet again. :)
