My second week in a place called Copenhagen

Old couple dating in Tivoli
It has been almost 14 days since i left my extraordinary life in Philippines. And right now, i badly miss my life there. Not that i don't have a life here in Denmark but of course that's another story, life here is very different. My body clock is already adjusted although i often have shallow sleeps. Deep and scary dreams visit me often. I hope to enroll for their language class by next month. Most of the times i walk outside to enjoy the fresh air, the breeze, the classic life in Denmark has to offer you everyday. I've tasted a lot of their food, drinks, and culture. Smiling and happy people is everywhere. Now i understand and i can attest why Denmark has the tittle of being "World's happiest country".


I was trying to catch a dove.

 Let me talk about transportation. They've a very systematic daily routes. It's good and advisable to have your own bike if you want to tour around or even buy something in Netto (a famous store like mini-stop in Ph, you cannot see sari sari store type). You can go wherever you want as long as you can, bike everywhere. It's also good if you have a car, when was it no as an answer? It's very normal to see first class cars on the street. Your destination looks very near if you look at the map, but OH NO. The buses have a schedule too, so it means if you lose the 7:00 am you'll wait for another bus which will take you another 30 mins to wait. But the bus sched is the opposite of the trains. The longest time you can spend waiting for Metro train and S train could be a max of 10 mins. There are some taxi cars you can see but they're very few. The Danes really value time.

I am very much amazed how they treat their family. Unlike Filipino fathers, the Danes fathers, are much more caring. They can be in-charge to their kids everyday. Just like my Uncle Poul who can bake, he always cook, I bet he used to send Kat and Kenneth to a day care when they were kids before work. Until now, he never change. He is very sweet, caring and loving to Auntie. Here they say: Husband nor wife, everything and everyone should be equal. 


About Scenes- You know, even if tour is not your priority, It will always looks like you do. You'll always say WOW to each sides your eyes can capture not because I am new here. NO,  because Denmark is really is. A very beautiful part of the world.  


I was thinking of writing letters for everyone i love today, but it looks like I shared my amazement instead. So... Here goes my September letters.

Dear God,

I feel your blessings everyday. My soul is thirsting for you Lord. I feel incomplete for having missed Sunday Masses for two consecutive weeks. Please bless and take care of the people i love. Send us your angels to guide us everyday. I miss all but I'll be strong because when you sent me here I know your purposes. I trust you Lord, Thank you for your love. I love you so much.
