Living in Denmark

These 3 days are one of the hottest days here for summer! 23rd of June marked the Sankt Hans Aften where the Danes celebrate the Midsummer’s Eve. It is possible the longest daylight period plus minus one or two days or on this day. Sankt Hans is generally celebrated with a dinner at home with family and friends followed by a stroll to a community bonfire, often by the beach, in a park, or on the shore of one of Denmark’s many lakes.

Husband had a summer party and it does seem so much fun, with all the activities, good weather and also the bonfire where everyone gathers around and sing Midsommersangen.

Here its how it sounds like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4i-5Df0oVc

After all the partying, Friday is also the graduation day of all students from gymnasium ( equivalent to JC/POLY in singapore) They will be in trucks where one of the classmate will organise and the truck would go around the neighbourhood which all of them live in to get blessing and celebrate. It was fun watching all the honking and partying going on in the truck. What a wonderful and happy occasion, the people here really do know how to work hard and play hard. No wonder this is the country with the highest happiness index in the world.

Tried a new recipe on Friday, since its been a while that husband is working from home. Its korean spicy pork recipe! It was easy and so yummy! I guess it cheaper and nice to cook Asian food ourselves then to eat out in Denmark as they are really not huge on food.

I have yet to find a nice Korean restaurant at the moment. Will definitely update if we do spot one!

Since temperatures are humid and also hitting 30 degrees, we are finally in short sleeves and shorts when we are out in the streets. Basking in the warm sunlight, enjoying drinks with good company!

Hung out with adam’s colleague before he is flying back to SG. Well its nice to have some social life once in awhile 😊 Hopefully the temperatures get better as it does get a little warm in the night to sleep.

Signing off today till the next updates!
