Rain, rain, rain and even more rain

Hello everybody!

I thought the Netherlands was a cold and wet country, but Denmark is much worse! It is raining a lot the last few weeks and it is also pretty cold. Now I understand why they sell so much rubber-boots in the stores: you really need them! But I still rather have wet shoes than wearing those things. I just pack some extra socks when I have to leave the house.

This week was my autumn-break and I had two things to do: work on my assignments from last year and visit Odense. Well, I've worked on my assignments and finished some, but I still have a lot to do. Luckily I have 6 weeks off when I'm home so I can finish everything before I start with my final thesis. And this thursday I visited Odense with my Dutch classmate Klarissa. I talked Dutch the whole day which was pretty strange, haha!

Odense is the third-biggest city of Denmark and I really like the city. All the houses are colourful and there are a lot of parks where you can walk, relax, sport, play, etc. (when it isn't raining). We visited the museum of Hans Christian Andersen. The famous fairytail-writer was born and raised in Odense. I found out I don't even know half of the fairytails he wrote, but that he was a genius writer is obvious. But besides of writing he was also really creative and made a lot of paintings and other artworks.

In the whole city are statues of fairtytails from the famous Hans and you can walk the route by following footsteps. But unfortunately we couldn't find all the footsteps so we decided to go explore the shopping-area to expand our costumes for Halloween. After a dinner at an Italian restaurant where they switched our dishes we went back home to Aarhus by bus. I really can advise to visit this city when you go to Denmark!

Next week will be my last week at my placement at the youthclub. I am really looking forward to this week because I like the placement a lot! It is too bad I have only one week left, but I will enjoy it as much as possible.

For now I will enjoy my free sunday inside while it's raining outside (again). Farvel!
