politics



Denmark is going into the wrong direction. Since I came here in 2000, it has been going from bad to worse.
Did you hear the latest news? Now Denmark wants to set a boarder line between Germany and Denmark back. It order to make sure who is coming into the country. They say they want to protect themselves from Romanian and Polish people who are coming here to steal and ask for money. But whom will it effect in the reality? Someone like me, someone who needs to have a visa for her mum to visit, which makes it impossible after all.
The new rules in order to get a permanent residence is insane. For someone like my friends, who came here as au pairs, worked, studies, learned language, got work and it is almost impossible to obtain one if they haven't been a member of a football club or some kind of a freewill organization for a year or two.

So the clever rats leave the ship, and they do it fast, before Denmark turns up to be Germany of 1935s, and they it will really go wrong.

a bit of everything


Too many things, too many plans.
We have been facing a huge changes in our lives. Everything, you name it. It is so strange and huge and hard to explain.
On a daily life things are going as they usually are:
Morten is getting ready for a new start. Getting organized paperwork, calling lots of people about insurances, schools, etc.
Zhenya is taking it to extreme at work. Doing her best, and doing all the practical and sensible organization.
David is having concerts that are coming up in June. School is doing good, and the grades are good as well.
Masha started to go to tennis, continuing going to ballet and started on house back riding this Saturday. No school yet, however.
For Zhenyas birthday we have been in Hamburg, and met one of Zhenyas friends Natasha, whom she hasn't seen for almost 13 years. Fun to see where you end after all those years.
Mortens birthday is coming up and there are some plans, but one never know where one will end up right on that day.
