Patriotic Relief

I know it's a dodgy mobile phone photo, but just imagine the colours in real life!

It's been over a month since I last blogged! Time flies when you're, erh, doing stuff! To quickly sum up May: 

• I met some really great people! (and perhaps drank a little too much alcohol but all in true Danish spirit ;)
• Eurovision- what more is there to say haha!
• I became really sick for over a week- though not from eating German cucumbers!
• I started my course in getting my Danish driver's licence!

Although it is a pain having to relearn to drive because the driver's seat is on the left, I am really happy that I'm getting my licence in Denmark. That means it will only take me 3½ months to get my open licence compared to the stupidly lenghthy Queensland process of going through 100-hour logbooks, yearly practical haphazard tests and various coloured P's before eventually getting your open licence when you're 30. Okay, maybe a bit younger than 30, but still! I can't wait to get my Danish licence (though don't remind me of the cost. *COUGH COUGH*).

Last Saturday was the first day that I've worn shorts since leaving Australia in February! Amazing isn't it?! Summer has truly arrived in Denmark, with the temperature reaching almost 25 degrees every day this week! Even the Danes themselves cannot believe their luck! I had a class on Monday where it was getting rather warm in the class and the students were complaining, and without thinking I said "Yeah, let's turn the fans on" but instantly realising that there are no ceiling fans in any rooms here! With no cooling aid in the class I left them to sweat- teaching them a true-blue Aussie feeling haha ;) However, the weathermen have already told us to expect cooler weather next week with lots of rain, so I better enjoy this comfortable weather while it lasts!

It doesn't get dark until past midnight now so that's keeping me up at night. Oh that and watching Season 6 of Doctor Who with a slow internet connection!

Before I leave you, here is one more glimpse of Danish life. Look at the amazing sight I have whenever I need to go to the toilet!

It's a wonderful feeling relieving yourself whilst feeling patriotic.
