Dear Embassy of Denmark, New Delhi,
I did cartwheels when I read your press release. It said “ New Fast Track Route For Indian Professionals Wishing To Work In Denmark“. In the press release your ambassador says, “India was a natural choice for the programme given the educational level, easy adaptability of Indians and their proficiency in English”. You did mention that you only seek skilled labour in sectors where you face a shortage.
Sir, do take a closer look at my face and connect my zits, it spells ‘Skilled Indian Labour In Sectors Denmark Wants’. In English. (Subtitled in Danish even)
Enough about me already. To welcome us, you opened a ‘Work in Denmark’ centre in New Delhi. The first one outside Denmark. Thank you for that. I of course clicked the link to that page- it said, in bold – The demand of foreign labour has disappeared and is now being replaced by a new situation with a low number of vacant jobs.
Dear sir, why did you spread a welcome mat and then slam the door on my face?
I could call you a cock tease. But I dont own a cock. Also I really want to move to your country.
Yours Sincerely
Love Immigrant.
i have no clue how did i even land on ur blog but must say it is very very interestin. hope to read more of it in the future!
keep writin..
Oh June dear June, Welcome to Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s myopic and schizophrenic world:-) He has a whole trance party going on in his head that I’d love to be at!
I hope you’ll be spared the indignity of having to go to an “Aliens Office” upon arrival, where an official will talk to you VERY LOUDLY AND SLOWLY in English till you point that you are neither deaf nor lacking English language skills.
Wonder if thats a special treat reserved for Norway?
What is the female equivalent of cock-tease anyway?
System in Denmark may be considered good and efficient, but it some times come up with some ideas that are pretty hard to understand. I am afraid Denmark is, in some cases, all about protecting itself.
I hope you manage to get your visa without too much trouble.
I would welcome you to Denmark anytime, I think you will bring some color and life!
You are going to go through so many stupid and pointless situations with the foreign service office here. Especially grating on the nerves of a highly educated immigrant.
I can only nod with what Paula has written above.
…and this came from a girl- me!- who managed to write a bitching article about Denmark and got it published in Politiken (the national newspaper) woohoo LOL
Unfortunately there’s no link because it didn’t appear in the online version. It only appeared in the printed edition, but I have the file / scanned article if you want.
Perhaps you can try look it up in Google Translate later when you got it or you could ask your fiance for help to translate?
Drop me a message in my blog with your email address (I won’t publish it!) then I’ll send the article to you.
[...] So just hop on over here , will you? I have lost my will to joke about the Danish immigration policies or the Dansk Folke party and I am too tired to be [...]
Mom gone Mad: If I am called to the ‘Aliens Office’ I am gonna go dressed up like Lady Gaga. And umm..no answers to either of your questions
yet.
Hey keep dropping by! I will stop writing only when they find a scientific cure for verbal diahrrea.
Thank you Great Dane Trine.
But I must say DK have learnt to strike that fine balance.
For all the cribbing I do, I like Denmark which is why I am moving. But Denmark can sometimes be very schizoprenic. They wanna be multicultural but homogenous, open but closed, global but only Danish, happy country with very grumpy people
Hi writer: Is there an english link / translation of your article?
