Guldbarrer i fryseren
Jeg har været i Danmark i weekenden, og jeg har hamstret! Hele to pakker rugbrød, der nu ligger i seks fryseposer i fryseren. Jeg er så træt af hvide franske flutes, der jo på ingen måde indgår i kategorien ‘fødevarer’. Og jo, man kan godt købe rugbrød hernede, men det er sådan noget tørt stads uden kerner i en stram pose, der kan holde sig i næsten 100 år.

I’ve been in Denmark for the weekend and I have hoarded! Two packets of Danish dark bread, as I am so sick and tired of baguettes, which for me has nothing in common with real food. And yes, it is possible to buy rye bread in Geneva, but it is dry, without seeds and it can last for almost 100 years. Not tempting.
Nobody stands alone
Jeg har meldt mig ind i InterNations, eller det vil sige, jeg er blevet optaget i InterNations. Man skal nemlig søge om optagelse, men jeg har svært ved at forestille mig, at man ikke bliver optaget. InterNations er en forening, hvor expats kan møde andre expats. Jeg har endnu ikke været til nogle af deres arrangementer, men det skyldes, at arrangementerne endnu ikke har gået hånd i hånd med min kalender.
Nu inviterer de til fest – med dans.
Jeg kan heller ikke deltage denne gang, men tjek lige deres medfølgende tekst til invitationen:
Living the InterNations spirit – Nobody stands alone!
For many guests it’ll be the first InterNations event; quite a few arrive on their own. Please be open to making them feel welcome. If you see someone alone in a corner, it’d be great if you introduced them to your friends. We can thus share the spirit of connecting global minds, and every member will have a lovely time. Thanks!
Det er da en opfordring, der vil noget. Og en opfordring, der giver mig lyst til at komme, da jeg virkelig ikke bryder mig om at dukke op til arrangementer, hvor jeg ikke kender en sjæl.

I have joined InterNations – a global community for Expats. I haven’t been to any of their events yet. The reason is that my calendar and their events haven’t been best friends so far.
Now they have invited for a party – with dancing!
Again I can’t participate, but check out their text for the invitation:

That is a reel friendly invitation, I must say. It really makes me feel welcome – especially because I am not to fund of showing up at events where I don’t know a single soul.
