So, here I am, in denmark, alone in the cold.. Just kidding, everything is fine, the class is pretty easy, the mates are great, I tried to go to school by bike the 1st day but i'm really too far from it (about 1h..) so I took a bus subscription.
The supermarket is not far from my flat so i can easily buy my things.
I noticed there is less sidewalk than in france, we usualy have to walk in the grass and it makes my shoes dirty.
We planned to go to the modern art museum of aalborg but thibaut don't like modern art so we're looking for something else to visit.
The weather is nice here, a bit cold but still nice.
That's all for this week, see you next friday!

Hey guys,
here i am to tell what happen during this 2 weeks. First of all i'm sad to say their is still no snow here :'(. The weather is not that cold, just the wind is horrible.
Our lectures are interesting we learn the HTML and PHP in the web development, our NET2 lecture look like what we did in CCNA and our Design by contract lecture is about logical maths. The UCN is bit far from the city center it take like 20 min by bus.
In our different lectures we have always a different group of student with us. in NET2 and Web Design we have a lot of ERASMUS student (only 2 Danish in NET2) so its kinda easy to be integrated, their gues from Bulgaria, Croatia, Austria,...
In our Design by contract lecture their is a lot of Danish guys but mostly between 25 and 40 years old, its fun to see the difference with France, in Danmark when you are like 30-40 you can still study and nobody judge you on that. I were at the University in France and honestly people who are a bit older than the average are often not well integrated with other students.
I spoke with some of them and i learn some things about Danish people. For example Danish student are paid to study ! Sound great right ? The only thing you have to do is going to lecture and have at least 4 hours per week during what you have to work (for example a restaurant or even an association). And they are not paid with nothing, the equivalent in euros is about 1300 euros per month thats more than our "SMIC" in France.
For the next post i'll try to know more about the economic part in Danemark because the economic system look really diffent with the one in France
Cya guys !

14/02 Update
Hi, It has been 2 weeks since I arrived in Aalborg, time to post some news!
My arrival has been pretty funny so i'm gonna relate it here.
The landlord told me the flat was far from the center of aalborg, and i have to admit I didn't expected that far..
So the aircraft landed around 7:00 P.M. and the sun was already set so it was really dark.
I like when everything is well prepared so i printed my path from the airport to the flat.
The plan was easy: i take the bus, wait 5 stops, take another bus, wait 10 more stops and walk to the flat? but i didn't made a plan in case i would miss one of the bus, so a 25 minutes trail transformed into a 1h30 one...
Once I finally found the good bus stop I had a 5 minutes walk to get to the flat.. guess what? I LOST MYSELF AGAIN! After walking during 20 minutes in the rain and the wind by night I finally found someone who told me i was going in the wrong way.. So that was it, i was in front of the appartment, I finaly made it alive, at 9:00 pm.
But wait, that's not the end of our story, no, no, because when I knocked on the door no one answered, My landlord gave me her number before I left france but I called her 3 times without any answer, I had flown 2000km for nothing, 2000km to get stuck in front of the finish line, 2000km to be a homeless french student in aalborg? No. I was done. Even if no one answered my knock nor my calls, I entered the flat.
At first i didn't noticed but Someone was in the appartment, i could barely ear some chair sounds behind the door of one of the rooms So i knocked to make sure i was at the good adress and make sure they were expecting me. A dude show up, almost naked:
Me : "hi, is it the good adress? Is it the good flat?"
Naked dude: "Oh you're the french guy, yes this is the good adress"
And he closed his door. I pluged my phone charger and waited for my phone to recharge, 20 minutes later the dude show up with pants and t-shirt and tell me he is not in charge of the keys, there is someone else who will arrive soon to open my room. Thanks god, i'm not so homeless.
10:00 P.M. Someone enter the flat, another roomate this one look way more normal than the 1st one, we talk a bit about how the flat is managed, the house rules, etc. He isn't in charge of the keys either but he know well the 3rd roomate and tell me he can find my keys in his room. The last dude show up around 11:00 P.M. and give me the internet password so i can finaly ease my parents.
Home, sweet home, i'm finally in my room, fully operational.
What a day...

Hey guys here we are 2 weeks after we arrived and lets talk a bit about whats happen here in Aalborg.
First lets talk a bit about the city.
Aalborg is a very clean city beautiful and inviting. This city has lots of difference with cities like angers. For example I noticed that their is not that much smoker in Aalborg and also their is not that much pets.
Another things quite interesting, people in Aalborg are incredebly honest. Indeed there is no padlock on the majority of the bikes in the street.
Although there is lots of bikes in Aalborg.
One more thing, for the moment there is no snow at all ! Well the weather is like rainy cloudy but there is not snow so i'm kinda happy with the weather for the moment .
We also discover THE street that you have to see and go in Aalborg , Jomfru Ane Gade , a street with lots of pubs ! Me or someone in my group will post a photo or a video of an event soon !
Well thats all for me for the moment see you soon guys !
