Hey,

Well, still here in DK. One month left of living in the kollegium. Will be missing out on the conveniences of closely located friends, parties & free internet when we move out. On the other hand, it will be quite enjoyable to not reek of fried meat and have to wash my clothing after spending any amount of time in the kitchen while the Danish lads cook their dinner. Had my 21st birthday the other week. It coincided with the kollegium's annual party which was convenient, particularly as a rodeo had been hired. A multitude of photos can be seen on my website (follow the link from http://elenaandersen.tripod.com).
Otherwise, Colin & I should be starting jobs on a cucumber farm in a couple of weeks. The only doubts I have are due to the bullshit/half truths that Kamal told the cucumber farmer in order to convince him to employ us;
Claim: My parents are both Danish farmers who migrated to Australia during the farming rush in the 50's. My Danish, however, isn't perfect.
Truth: My father is a Danish marine engineer & my Danish is crap.
Claim: Colin has recently finished a degree in agriculture. The implication is that he is Danish.
Truth: Colin has recently finished a degree in agricultural chemistry. He is true blue as they come.

We'll see. Will post further details as they come.
Hej-hej!
