I am still trying to recover from the shock of knowing there actually is a Danish young man in Montreal. At this very moment. Okay, as I write this post… Because who knows, maybe you clicked on the bad option and ended on this 2 or 3 years old post by mistake. Maybe when you…… Continue reading Første måned…
I doubt I ever used OMG so many times in my life over a period of a week or so… If you read my first few posts, you know that I have been searching for a Danish teacher for ever! I had made my peace with having to learn by myself with the from-the-other-side-of-the-ocean help…… Continue reading OMG!
As I was reading yesterday’s post, I got the feeling I sounded pretty negative about the holidays… And I actually love Christmas, it’s just some sides of the celebrations that get on my nerves, and I guess that’s all that got out in my last text. So I decided to postpone Denmark a little…… Continue reading Jul part two… Noël au Québec (bis)
Jul… Christmas, Noël, Navidad… It is celebrated pretty much everywhere on the globe, and I am not a Christmas specialist. But Danes, to my knowledge, are among the peoples that welcome this time of year with the most enthusiasm. I’ll get back to them in a bit. When I started this post, I was planning…… Continue reading Jul part one… Noël au Québec
The day has finally come. Well, I hadn’t talked much about it here, but we just adopted our Silver Chinchilla Persian kitten. Freja… On October 4th, I lost my previous Persian, Cissy. Cissy was four and a half years old and died in my arms after a sudden and massive heart attack. It wasn’t a…… Continue reading 1.3 pounds of love… (a not-Danish post)
Here is one fun fact that is possibly more on the fun side than actually a fact. But I don’t really care. As mentionned earlier in my posts, I have lost my faith in the Internet a while ago, and I don’t bother doing thorough background check when I read something weird. I just assume…… Continue reading Fun facts! (part 2)
A quick note today (Oh how many messages have I ever started promising I wouldn’t allow myself to get lost on my way from A to B…) because it is a very special day, and very exciting too! Tomorrow morning, my boyfriend and I are hitting the road (I have weak arms, it won’t hurt!)…… Continue reading Ready for delivery…
If someone asked me to tell only one thing I learned from Denmark and that I especially treasure, I would have to tell that person about Mads… *Giggles* No, if I was confined to sharing only one thing about my dreamland, it would have to be the concept of “hygge”. I have been thinking about…… Continue reading Hygge
Since I don’t always have a lot of time on my hands, and I hate to spend a few days in between posts, I thought I’d do mini-posts about fun facts I discovered along my Denmark discovery journey. My favorite fun fact is an anecdote that is a link between two of my favorite things…… Continue reading Fun facts!
I am working on my first article about Danish stuff… But I had to abort my work to post this. Because today is a very special day. Today Mads Mikkelsen turned 50, and he is still as fabulous as ever, if not even more! I will get back to Mads later ( I always get…… Continue reading Happy birthday Mads!
