Yeah, I can write again...got finally internet access at the university college :D
Now I am in Aalborg since 8 days and it is going great! The start was a bit frightening as the train from Hamburg was delayed in Århus and i missed my connecting train. But then I could take another one half an hour later. Helle picked me up at the station and drove me the college and showed me my appartement where I am gonna live for the year. Friday she showed me around the college and where I have to go for my classes. Then was weekend and I started to check out Aalborg city and surrounding. As my bike was already broken and I had plenty of time I went all around and saw many things. I saw some special monuments and buildings, as well as lovely parks and some cheaper supermarkets than some others. Danmark is known as a flat country but in Aalborg there are several hills you have to climb to get into the city from my place and so it is always hard work cycling into the centre to meet people and go shopping.
On Monday my language course started and it is very nice. I have a class with some other Germans but also Italian, Spanish, Czech and Austrian students. Our teacher is kind and makes a lot of jokes about the Danes and their habits. Learning Danish is harder than I thought because the language sounds so different to the writing and so I can only read it good in the moment because of my Swedish knowledge and I have to listen more and practise it. But with time I will get used to probably.
Yesterday we have been on a sightseeing tour with the language class and saw some old buildings and streets to get more knowledge about Aalborg and the Middel Ages in Danmark.
All in all it´s getting a real nice time here, also with parties though Danmark is quite expensive and the alcohol also is not affordable every day. But we manage to have a good time here with only few money ;)
