Hej! Jeg. er. dansk!! Det er jeg!!

It arrived - and I've used it twice!! Tusind, tusind, tusind tak!!

And, behold! Miracles happen!

My lords, ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et monsieurs,

I feel very humbled to win this award.

I'd like to thank the Acadamy, my parents for having me and every person I've ever met, but particularly NQDII for having the magic touch, Camilla - the greatest employee at DanskeBank Frederiksberg - and even the grouchy post office lady who barked at me for not getting my ID out quick enough to pick up a parcel one day. Most of all, I would like to thank DanskeBank. It's been eight long months and I would particularly like to thank them for the last sentence in the letter, the understatement of the year: We hope you will find the card useful. (like, hello?? What can you do in Denmark without a chip??)

Thank you!

- Well, let's not get too excited now. I have the letter but not the card. Still, progress is progress!

DanKort is enough to make you sick!

Okay, so I am evil but I couldn’t help the wry smile as I read this article in the Copenhagen Post. It transpires one of the worst ever outbreaks of Salmonella is sweeping through Denmark at the moment and, guess what? They’re using patients’ DanKorts to trace the source!

Haha. Yes.

While trying to procure a DanKort has pretty much sent me stumbling and groaning in agony and desperation to the toilet a number of times, it would seem perhaps not as much as if I actually did have one.

So, that’s my good news story for today ☺

Thank you.


(And yes, if one does arrive in the mail this week this outbreak will become a very serious issue on this blog and nothing to be flippant about!)

And another thing...

I just remembered something. A few weeks ago, we found a really great Italian restaurant called Fabio's here's in Frederiksberg. It was really dejlig inside and we had a super meal and delicious wine. We came to pay the bill and guess what? They didn't take credit cards. Now this establishment, which not the most celebrated in town was pretty good quality and certainly not a cafe. Luckily it was only three shops up from an ATM but really... I highly recommend a visit - just remember to go to the ATM first.
