Actually, I couldn't come to Denmark at the exact time of lesson beginning because I had some problems with my visa. I was really upset and I couldn't come to Denmark before I got my visa. Fortunately ,I got my visa after I applied for it after approximately two months.It was exiced for me. I will start with the first moment from here.When I got off the plane, it was snowing and really cold, but people were notJ They were helpful, nice and sensitive whenever I asked for help. I came from the airport to Vordingborg lonely, and I had a hard time to carry my baggages from one place to another. On the one hand,I was pulling my baggages , on the other hand I was searching for ticket center. As I said before, all people are very kind and helpful. They saw ı was nervous and they tried to help and to relax me.When ı arrived at Vordingborg Station , my friends from Turkey came to take me,and finally I arrived to the dormitory. However, it is really difficult to be away from your family, friends, or relatives. It is the first time for me to travel abroad.You think that here you are unfamiliar with everything, like people ,street, culture or life styles. Whoever comes abroad for the first time, ı am sure they think like these and I did so. But it did not take very long time to be accustomed to the environment and their life styles because my friends from my own country came before me , so they made everything easy for me. Also, I was very happy to hear that
there is a sea here. My friends - Burcu and Gülşah- and I went seaside a few times. We had a great time there, we enjoyed and took lots of photos. Also, there were lots of ducks and we played with them. Everything there is in order, such as traffic or street. I should say I was shocked that there were few people in the streets, and that the car stops whenever people walk across. It was really unfamiliar with me J so I was always looking at both sides of the road, but cars already stopped when they realized people to walk across. In my country , you see there are lots of people in the street and they walk along the street for hours or they just meet with eachother in a cafe or a park.When I talk about traffic and cars, I don't think there are lots of cars and traffic problem in Denmark, but in Turkey we have lots of problem like traffic jam. For example; it is possiblefor people to be stuck in a traffic jam for hours because ıt is more crowded than Denmark. Also, I was surprised shopping bags are not free here.And one more different situation for me...
When my friends and I first went shopping, we didn’t buy one –because it is not free- , so I carried a sack of potatoes in my arms along the street and my friend, Burcu, carried a sack of flourJ These were different experiences from the first few days in Denmark. I feel very happy to be there because I like to learn new things, new cultures and to communicate with people.Also, I believe I will become a stronger person by learning to take care of yourself away from your mother tongue, country, environment, family and friends. I am sure I have dozens of good memories, strong experiences, lovely new friends. I really enjoy and I believe I have a great time here.
