FIRST STEP INTO DENMARK

Before l came to Denmark , l didnt have so huge excitement and curiosity. Because l have already been aware of what kind of lifestyle, tradition , culture danish people have, thanks to media. So l guessed Denmark would contain the same thing as media reflected. But experiencing it will be totaly different. I had so many questions in my mind `why l go there, what is the aim of it. Is it for improving my language , learning their culture closerly, having an adventure or going away from our strict theory based school system. I really wasnt sure maybe for all maybe not.However, the thing that l know is that l want to experience differnt things and to open the doors of my horizen.
  l am used to be away from my family as my university is in the different city which takes 21 hours bus voyage to arrive the city in which my family live. So l wasnt excited to go a remote place until l saw my friends. Their excitement also made me feel like them. At airport there were so long procedures. In Turkey ,if you want to go abroad ,you have to set off at least 4 hours ago because of heavy traffic . It is also possible that you can confronted with long lines out of the airport in which people are hurrying to catch their planes. The population of Istanbul consists of 16 million people.But there are only 2 airports in that city. Now you can imagine the case. When we got on the plane at night with my friends Delal, Semra and Muslum, the more we went forward to northern part the more cold we got. We could feel cold inside of our bones.Generally l travel by plane . But l didnt see a plane in which so many coffees were bought by the passengers. You should have certainly seen how many glasses  hostess collected when passengers finished. Almost everybody bought coffee :))). When we got off at Danish Airport , the first native people that we saw were the men who checked our passport. When l saw them l understood that now l am in different country. Because they are totally blonde , had white skin and huge bodies which was different from my country.
we arent worried what will happen next thanks to relatives of muslum . They came to airport to take us to their home in tsrop. We couldnt see around clearly at night. Instead of darkness l immediately realized how much coordinated country it was. l was so grateful to their excellent sincere hospitality. They even brought us to our  new school. We were luckier than our other friens coming from Mersin as we didint have to wait at airport until the morning . At last l saw the my new school and the dormitory called `White House` . l liked my room and the scene of my window so much ...The first people we meet as natives were Trine and Martin. They were our tutors and showed us around the school. l can say that Martin was the person who speaks faster then anyone that l met here. Ohh my god , l cant imagine that how much energy he spends while speaking
