That strange feeling

Have you ever had that feeling that in a short period of time so many things have occurred and your previous life seems far-off and diffuse? That’s what happened to me during my first days in Copenhagen. Let’s start from the beginning as is the point from every story should start.

My trip to Copenhagen started pretty bad due to this “nice and kind” Iberia staff lady, which made me open my suitcase just for 2kg of luggage excess. As you could imagine I was pretty mad at her but I did my best in order to change her mind. Like talking to a chair, I got nothing. But things got even worse when in one of the airports decided to use my suitcase as a punching bag to train Jiu Jitsu. 30 cm that was the length of the crack. One applies a force of 3000Kn and the suitcase breaks as easy as an egg (sarcasm mode)

“This cannot be worse” I thought. So naïve. Went we landed there was a perfect sunny day, like I was back in Spain, but when I got off the metro, taraaaaaaa! A tropical storm!! Then again sunny weather followed by a Vietnamese monsoon. To end this marvelous and unforgettable day I have to say that I arrived to my accommodation perfectly. And I say accommodation because I do not dare to call that a room. Sorry for you guys I won’t be able to host you here if you come to Denmark, to visit me.

After having arrived to a new country, any other person would visit the city, do paperwork, rest…but not me. I accepted, long time ago, that there’s something  wrong with me, so in my first day in Copenhagen I went to the first job interview in my whole life. It was for DLH, a company from the Danish Stock Exchange, which traded with timber. They asked me the usual stuff , “why do you apply?” “tell me something about you”, everything goes well  (that well that I even bragged saying look how much I know about wood that this table is made of Fagus Sylvatica) till the moment the guy ask me to show my Excel skills. Let’s just say that it didn’t go that well this time. “I would call you “ he said, mmm let me doubt it…
