Culture shock #3: The sky

Denmark sunset

There are probably a billion geological and meteorological reasons for this, but the skies over here simply look different from the ones in Japan. It’s hard to explain exactly in what way they are different but I think it is still quite an apparent characteristic.

Culture shock #4: TV

TV

I’ve never really been a big fan of Japanese TV that for the most part makes me feel like I’m being sonically and visually beaten up, so it is quite a change to be able to watch television programs that chug along at a leisurely pace and don’t chop everything to pieces with commercials.

    Woa, you are in Denmark now! For how long? I am going back in December for 2 weeks or so, but the tickets are so expensice. What did you pay?

    The beautiful sunset is probably just due to the flat landscape and lack of skyscrapers :)

    As mentioned, I was only in Denmark for one week and am back in Tokyo now. Since this was part of a Tokai research project, the university was paying! But I agree, tickets to Denmark should definitely be cheaper (and the flights shorter! :P )
