Stereotypes!

Why you can say that I'm Polish....?

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I eat a lot of potatoes for almost every dinner.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I spend a lot of time outside during the spring and summer time.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I can live everywhere in the world.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I never refuse a drink.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I'm hardworking and outgoing.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I'm very close with my family.

- You can tell that I'm Polish because I used to go for a party every weekend.

What about Danish people??

Well, before I came here I was talking with my friends and family about Denmark and danish people, just to say in one word : about STEREOTYPES
Not all of them, which I heard are true, but some yes.
For example:
* Danish people are closed and they try to keep their privet life as a secret.

*Denmark is very expensive country.

I thought that Danish people ( students) like to go out, but when I came to Haderslev I realised that it's not true!
The second think is: I heard that Danish people are tall, blond with blue eyes like people from Norway, but it's also false.

What I discovered here is that the people from Denmark are like candles...I didn't know about that before.
I'm hoping to discover more things about Danish people and culture during this 3 months.

health and rehabilitation center

On 4th of February me, Anna and Joanna visited Kildebakken at Varbergvej 11. It's a kind of health and rehabilitation center.

I was very glad that I could see how people work in Denmark. In total it's almost everything different.

At the begining I want to say about atmosphere. In my country the way how you doing your job is very strict. You have a couple of patients (sometimes even more than 2-3) per 20-30 min and you have to care about them, or you have whole group just to exercise them during 30 min. Here physiotherapist hasn't more than 2 patients at the same time. It's easier, because you can focus on this kind of patient with this disease for whole time.

Next thing is that in Poland rehabilitation starts when you are in a hospital and it's very serious, in Denmark rehabilitation in hospital it's just a begining of rehabilitation ( small part of it), what's happen next is, when you are going out from hospital in my country you have to wait sometimes ( even 1-2 months) to take part in nex 'level' of rehabilitation, here you can go straight. The good thing in Poland is, that your rehabilitation is everyday during for examples 1 month ( the length is depend of kind of disease). In Denmark is just twice a week and in my opinion it's not enough.

The last thing which about I would like to say is equipment in this center!

It's not completly different than in Poland but some of them I saw first time.

In conclusion I want to say that in Denmark physiotherapist has a chance to use imagination, because you have possibility. Of course in Poland you can use your imagination, but it's harder to do this than here.

First day in Denmark

Hi Others!


I would like to tell you about my first day in Denmark!At the begining when I arrived I was shocked, because I thought that the winter in Denmark is not so hard like in Poland! This winter in my country was horrible, most of the time was -20 deegres and snow everywhere!I arrived with Anna on Sunday 31st of January.
