At first I have to apologize for the lack of messages this month. I was too busy or too lazy to write about all the nice things I do here.
Let me start with my birthday. I have never celebrated my birthday in a foreign country but even now I wasn't without my family because they visited me! My parents, sister and brother-in-law Rik, 2 uncles and 2 aunts came in Aarhus at the 15th of november to check out where I live and ofcourse to celebrate my birthday. I was a really good weekend with a loooot of food and presents. They spoiled me so much with candies, wine, tequila, beer and Dutch food. I'm still eating 'pepernoten' and I even have some wine left.
At te 16th, my birthday, we went to the deerpark to give some carrots to the deers. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good the whole day with a lot of wind and rain. But the deers were happy to see us (or it was just the carrots) and the wind didn't blew us away. In the afternoon my dad and uncle went to ARos-museum and the rest of the group went to the city to shop. Although it was more window-licking because most of the stores were closed. At the end of the day we went to a restaurant together where my aunt tried to connect me with the waiter by saying I turned 21. Thanks Tante Kiek ;-)
At the and of the day we already had to say goodbye and my parents took already a lot of my stuff, included my bike, back home to the Netherlands. It was the plan to go back by car, but I go back by plane now so I can't take all my stuff with me then. It was a short weekend with my family but I really enjoyed it. It's nice to show them where I live and how Aarhus looks like.
After I said goodbye to my family I thought I could relax, but suddenly my doorbell rang and there were my classmates with a cake! I really didn't expect it and it was so nice of them!
At friday 21 november was my birthday-party for my classmates and friends. I organised the party with 2 of my Greek classmates and one Greek guy. We hired a DJ and around 80 people came to dorm 21 to have an amazing party. We danced, we laughed, we drank; a perfect birthdayparty.
The next day we cleaned everything and went to another party in the centre where we could drink for free from 22:00 to 00:00. It was a big neon-themed party and there were a lot of people. Yet, another great evening!
Last friday (28/11) I went to the centre to check out how they lit up the Christmas-lights and how Santa arrived in the city. There was a big parade with music and 3 santa's (I really thought there was just one Santa...) and at 19:00 they lit up a big Christmas-tree at a square. And after that it was shopping time! The American tradition of Black Friday is also a hit in Denmark and the stores were open till 23:00 and they all had special discounts. I didn't really shop but it was nice to experience it.
This weekend was pretty relaxing. I had to arrange some stuff for when i'm back in the Netherlands. In only 3 weeks i'm back and the 'real life' will start again. That means finding a company where I can do my research for my final thesis, look for an apartment and a job. Lot's to do! But before that I still have some time here which I'm going enjoy till the fullest. This weekend Liz and Thersa will come here and I'm sure it will be an amazing weekend!
See you soon!
