DANISH FOOD

The Danish food is similar to the Australian food but there is some few things that Australians don’t have.

Frikadeller in English meat balls. Rugbroed – brown, healthy bread with lots of

grains.

FRIENDS

When I didn’t practise ice skating I hung out with my friends from school or from ice skating.

I’m together with my friends almost everyday – different between Denmark and Australia
