FILLED OF THINGS THAT WERE DONE IN FIRST 100 DAYS IN DENMARK (DAY 7)

DAY 7 – May 25, 2009, I woke up late cos I stayed late last night and I didn’t know that my sister was online. We chat for just an hour and we went to Foreign Service department to get my residence permit. And I am now legally residing in Denmark..;) My nationality was there, different races. Their goal is to get the permit also in Denmark. I met a Filipina who is now heading to Norway. Afterwards, we ate croissant and had some coffee.

There’s an interesting place around Copenhagen which really amused me. Thanks Tina for this. It is the Assistens Cemetery or it is sometimes called as Nørrebro Cemetery. It is founded in 1757 (inaugurated 1760) and located in the Nørrebro section of Copenhagen, Denmark and is a popular place for people to take a stroll, look at the old graves and monuments, and to have a picnic.

And I recognized two prominent Danish people.

Hans Christian Andersen, also known as simply H. C. Andersen (April 2, 1805 – August 4, 1875) was a Danish author and poet, most famous for his fairy tales. Among his best-known stories are "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Little Mermaid", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Girl", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Red Shoes".

Niels Henrik David Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

After that, we picked up the children and off to go to the beach. Well, it’s freezing but I tried it. Though I am a beach bum but I don’t have the guts to dip into the water. There’s nothing compare with the beach in the Philippines but it’s another experience.

This day is another day for me. I accomplished things, I learned so many things and I experience so many things.

MORAL LESSON: Learning is a process.
