!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Welcome to Denmark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Before coming to Denmark, I was too excited and quite unsure about what was waiting for me. In the plane, I was just thinking about my family, my friends, and my boyfriend. I just remembered that my mum was crying because she is as emotional as I am. As soon as we arrived at the airport, I felt colder, sleepier, tired, and hungrier, and that was the point which made me feel a bit frustrated. We had to wait a lot in the airport for the train to come. In addition to this, we didn`t have any money as Danish Kroner and this meant another problem for us since we had just Euro. By the way, we met a girl whose name was Silan and came from Turkey. She was waiting for Sweeden train. When I saw her, I was too surprised because she was sleeping on the stairs in the airport. I told her why she was sleeping on the ground, and she said there was no other choice. The idea seeming strange to me at first turned out to be the best way of getting comfortable until the train came. There was another interesting thing for me. I was too thirsty and didn`t have any idea where to buy water because all the shoppings were closed. As a solution, I had to drink water from the tap which was in the restroom. Realizing what Iencountered with, I told myself that YEAH, YEAH a good and hard year is waiting for me. Ugur and Nazli checked train hours and we had to wait and look for our baggage.
Before taking the train to Vordingborg, we met a Turkish family. We talked about the prices of the clothes and cheap place to buy them, and the interesting thing was that they haven`t any idea about Vordingborg. When we were in the train, we told that we were new in the Denmark and therefore paid money in Euro. We also got surprised to see how much money we paid for the train since going from one city to another does not cost a lot compared with Denmark. When we were in the train, I thought myself that Denmark must be an industrialized country and upon seeing the sigtseeing and nature, I forgot the bad experince I had in the airport and just confessed to myself that I would be relaxed, happy, and comfortable.
Upon coming to Vordingborg station, we had to wait again for our tutors to come and take us. Before that, we talked to a woman and she helped us in terms of calling the number we wanted. We told taht Danish people were friendly and kind. After calling our tutors Martin and Trine, they came and it seemed to be an unforgettable time to meet them. They invited us to have breakfast, which was their kindness and then we all went outside in order to see where we could go for shopping, buying phone cards, and eating. It was a really tiring day since it was our first day, but we were happy due to being in a peaceful, silent, and environmentalist place. In the first day, we felt cold and told it was really freezing for us and after that Martin told ''WELCOME to DENMARK'', which were the magical words of the first day in the small wonderland.
