Arrival to Vordingborg :)

      This first entry is going to be more personal as I would like to mention a lot of things but now we have to do this in the class and I need a quick organization of my thoughts. When our plane landed to Copenhagen, it was very late and we (Hatice, Uğur, Sevim and me) four friends were exhausted after a long journey. We had to wait for the first train to Copenhagen Central Station, the first train was about 3 hours later after our arrival. There was no place to sit down, and it was cool in the airport, we were exhausted, sleepy and hungry but all the shops were closed, and we didn't have DK Kroners but Euros and the exchange office was closed, too. We didn't know how to get a ticket because there was a machine to get ticket and we needed DK Kroner coins I think because there was no other choice on the screen of machine. When we asked the people who works at the airport and explained our situation, no one could help us or suggest an idea which was very interesting for me. They didnt know how we can get a ticket or what happens if we cannot. Then we learned that if we explain our situation we can pay the ticket as Euros in the train so we did. At first we went to the central station and then changed the train there and get on the one which comes to Vordingborg. Our luggage was really heavy and it was really hard to travel with it. Finally we arrived at Vordingborg.
      The first thing I remember that I was freezing because I didn't notice the weather a lot at the airport or in the train but now we were out and the change in temperature was great. At the same time in Turkey it was about forty degrees celcius  and Vordingborg was around fourteen degrees celcius. We started waiting for our tutors to pick us up. And it was a long waiting and we began to worry. We had their number but we couldnt call them as the market in the train station was closed, too. We decided to find the dormitory on our own. We asked some people and they said they didnt know. Later, a lady helped us and she used her cell phone to call our tutors. In few minutes they came and apologised for not coming on time so we met Martin and Trine. We took our heavy luggage and came to our dormitories. Later, Martin and Trine showed  us around and they prepared breakfast for us which is very kind of them.
      I loved the school, facilities of school and our room and I also liked the city even though I was suprised that it is so small and quiet. All in all, except for the weather, my first impression was good about everything here :)
