Stupid is as stupid does Why oh why do I have such a big heart? I like animals, but don’t feel the urge to own one. I had my share of fish, a rabbit, a cat and some dogs in our family when I was a boy, but never really was on the lookout for […]
Since last year I dropped about 20kg of overweight. My wife is pleased, but I am still 15 kg from my goal. The last 3-4 months have been status quo though I have been eating healthier generally. I also get my daily exercise using my bicycle to work. Still no result. I stay at about […]
….in being a good Chinese husband. One thing I never thought out was the difference of Danish and Chinese weddings. Even though many things are similar and comparable, there are few, that really stands out. The most obvious scary one was when my wife let slip to me that in China it is customary to […]

Since C arrived I had a long awaited 1 week vacation. I saved this for same reason. The vacation was used for unpacking, relaxing and planning ahead. Last Friday I started working again, which meant that C had to be home alone meanwhile. There is enough for her to do, but as one might expect, […]

Lately everything has been a mix of reunion bliss and a load of things to do. Day one after C’s arrival, we went to the police station and delivered the papers for permanent stay. Very smooth this time, and hats off to the employee that managed our papers. Even though she is only “first leg” […]
Thursday at 18.35, my wife landed at Copenhagen International Airport. Everything went smooth for her just until then. I waited 1 hour for her, before she finally popped out to the welcoming area, only to declare her baggage lost. So we had to do some research to get it back. Turned out it was sent […]

Now there is 5 days 6 hours 11 minutes and 30 seconds until my wife’s airplane is scheduled to touch-down in Copenhagen. But who’s counting anyway….
Today I read an article (in Danish only) about “Janteloven”. Janteloven (The law of Jante) is an unofficial Danish law that people live by without thinking about it. I don’t know how well-known this is outside Scandinavia, but here it is known to be somewhat of a burden for most Danes. The “Janteloven” (JL) has […]
While I wait for my wife’s return, I spent my time preparing for the application for permanent stay. As mentioned in a previous entry filling out the forms was somewhat of a nightmare. I ended up with 46½ pages of forms, notes, copies of payslips, school papers, and everything you can imagine. Finally I had […]

So what is up with these computer game playing losers? Why would the spent so many hours in front of their altar, and is it true that can be spotted from far away? All valid questions, and guess what; I can answer them all for a reason. Yes – it’s true, I’m a nerd. Big […]

Things have heated up in the world these days. And guess which country is in the centre of attention? Since the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten decided to print 12 cartoons of the Islamic prophet Mohammed, things have accelerated from a heated debate, to boycott of Danish goods, to demonstrations, to burning of Danish flags, to setting […]
…or…. well… Flight tickets. Yesterday the flight tickets arrived. Viatravel in Ã…rhus did a great job, and helped me find some really good tickets for my wifes return trip (which by the way will be the 23. march). Two things is especially good about the tickets: The price was lower than last time because of the […]
Since my wife arrived in Denmark, I have learned to appreciate Chinese food even more than on my trip to Shenzhen. Not only has my wife introduced me to brand new variants of ways to utilize current Danish ingredients, but she have also taught me that side dishes don’t have to be salad or bread. […]

FYI: This is an older story that occurred back in October when my wife was here. About 1 month after my wife arrived here in Denmark, I caught what seemed to be one of my turbo colds turning into the regular flu. I don’t know if you noticed but when it comes to colds/flues there […]

I’m on a roll ! Just updated the gallery with pictures from 2005. Enjoy! (fortunately this gallery do not support commenting!) ;-) I plan to put older pictures too, but it may take some time, since some requires scanning. Zzzz….

So I finally decided to upgrade to WordPress 2.0. I guess only very few can tell the difference, except maybe you have noted a few extra links and pictures. I must admit, that SQL database management, backup etc. is not entirely my thing, and therefore I have postponed upgrading to WordPress 2.0 for some time. Many […]
Weeeee….. Today a white shiny envelope dropped in my mail! The Danish Emigration Service finally released our initial bank guarantee of 51.000 kr,- (8400$), which basically means that these money now are safe, and I can get on with the next step in bringing my wife to Denmark. For further info read this older entry. […]
or well, lets say, at least one is interested, which is enough for me to ramble on. ;-) Today someone planted a finger in a sore wound of mine: My ability to keep you all posted on mine and C.’s situation. As I wrote earlier, C has now returned to China. Not because we wanted […]

Merry X-mas !! :-)
Married 16. dec. Abandoned 20. dec. Well, not really “abandoned”, but due to the strict laws here in Denmark, C.’s visa was only for 3 months, and last day was 21. dec. The flight ticket was made for the 20. december. A cruel fate, but still nothing to do about it. It is no longer […]
