Temporary House

The minimum requirement I have when traveling abroad is to have a proper (clean, comfortable) stay. The temporary house that my company provided fits my requirement (despite the fact that I have to stay with another 3 total 'stranger' colleagues - 2 Russian & a Polish).

The 'international' house has 4 bedrooms, each of us occupies a room. Single bed, cleaning guy changes bed sheet & clean the house weekly. One of the bathroom has jacuzzi (was very excited initially then to realize it doesn't function, well, it can still serve as bath tub); a kitchen with advanced cooking gadgets (infra-red stove) + utensils; garden with simple BBQ pit & washing + drying machine in house.


Despite our diverse nationality, getting along with my nice housemates communicating in English didn't turn out that bad. However, as nice as they are (or at least try to be), there're still barriers (perhaps on both language & culture) & I miss home... It's only been few days & I miss home so much already. Well, home sick aside, prove of my house mate's kindness & friendliness, here's my first dinner in Denmark, prepared by my Russian housemate - Margarita.
