Hej, Hej Hej

Danish translation:

Hej (pronounced "hi"): Hello
Hej Hej (pronounced "hi hi"): Good-Bye



HELLO CALIFORNIA!
Hello...
...warm weather and sunshine
...showering in a tub that is separate from the toilet
...English-speaking friends and co-workers
...affordable food
...bed that is not 88 steps from my door
...oven, dishwasher, and dryer
...a faster, lighter bike
...Thursday night Office Parties
...Netflix, Hulu, Pandora radio, and other assorted websites that are restricted here
...Tuesday night Reef & Runs
...Trulie




GOOD-BYE DENMARK
I will miss...
...my sweet co-workers and the people I've met here
...blogging about awkward experiences
...the fresh bread, cakes, and pastries
...the extra holidays
...the coffee breaks
...the canteen (lunch buffet)
...the long days (of sun, not work). The sun is already setting after 9pm.
...Danish flag celebrations
...zoning out when everyone starts speaking another language
...Danish babies sitting outside by themselves

I will not miss...the cold...
