'Disabilities don't prevent beauty': Danish
women feature in pin-up calendar'!

3. Two Danish women with disabilities have created a pin-up calendar featuring
disabled women in lingerie to show that “disabilities don’t prevent women from
being beautiful.”
Manja Simone Lundgaard Hansen and Trine Ringhejm Jensen came up with the idea
with a photographer. While initially worry that revealing pictures may be taboo, they
were both very satisfied with the result.
“I think it’s important to show that the world that just because you don’t look like
the girls in a magazine, you can’t be beautiful—you can be yourself and be
comfortable with that,” said Jensen.
The calendar was published by the Danish Association of the Physically Disabled and
shows seven women with various disabilities.
Thorkild Olesen, head of the Danish Association of the Physically Disabled, said it was
extremely important to show that “disabled women are women too.”
Jensen said of the calendar: “You can really see us – see both the good and the bad
and the special and the pretty."

Chapter 3: What do people
eat?
Baked Potato - Bagt Kartoffelrand
 2 cups potatoes
 ½ cup melted butter
 2 eggs
 1 teaspoon onion
 1 teaspoon salt
 ¼ teaspoon paprika
 ½ cup milk
 ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese
Combine grated raw potatoes with melted butter, beaten eggs, onion, salt and
paprika, and mix well. Place in a well buttered baking dish and pour the milk over
mixture.
Bake 40 minutes in a preheated 350° oven. Remove from oven and sprinkle with
grated cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned.

7. Apple- and Prune-Filled Spareribs -
Ribbenstykke med Æbler
8 pounds spareribs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound apples -- cored and peeled
1 pound prunes -- cooked and pitted
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup light cream
Salt and White pepper
Make sandwiches of the racks of ribs, a pair at a time, using apples and prunes,
mixed, as the filling. Tie securely to retain the filling. Brown in butter in a roasting
pan, basting with enough warm water to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook slowly

8. for 2½ hours in an oven preheated to 275-300 degrees. Remove from oven and keep
hot while you make the gravy. Add flour to the stock in the pan, stirring until smooth.
Place pan over low heat on top of the stove. Slowly add the milk and cream. Stir until
it comes just to the boiling point. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place
spareribs on a serving platter. Remove string. Pour a small amount of gravy over the
ribs, and serve the rest in a gravy boat to be savored over small boiled potatoes. This
recipe is always a huge hit. I don't bother cutting into individual servings before
cooking. Two slabs tied together works very well, and keeps the fruit from falling all
over the oven!

GOOD APETITE!!!

10. Chapter 4: How is it like to be
young in Denmark?
Being young in Denmark is great. Most of the kids like to play football and handball as
an activity. They like to hang out with their friends as we also do, and they are pretty
close with their parents. Their school facilities are amazing; they have sports halls and
physic-chemistry labs, which we don’t. The weather might be colder but that doesn’t
stop Danish children from having fun either outdoors playing in the snow or indoors
having fun with their friends.
Another thing is, that the life quality there is better and the kids are even more
happier than the kids in our country, in our opinion. Research has shown that Danish
children are the happiest kids in the world, and from what we’ve seen we think it’s
true.
Not only the kids but also their parents, are very social and very hospitable. They will
help you with everything you need and provide you with the best care they can offer.

12. Chapter: 7
What did you like most about this
country?
First of all, the most impressing thing was TIVOLI which is a huge
amusement park with a lot of facilities. Secondly, the school in Denmark
was so big with a lot of places where the children spend their time and
they have lessons. In addition the colorful and pretty buildings were
amazing. We also liked the aquarium, because we saw some animals
that we never have seen before. Also the way to the aquarium was
exciting, as we walked along the beautiful forest with the tall trees along
a frozen lake. Lastly, the art museum with the great masterpieces and
the polite staff, was also one of the things that we will always
remember.
Chapter 8: Similarities
and Differences
There are some differences and some similarities about Greece and
Denmark. The main difference is the weather. It’s colder than our
weather as Denmark is northern than Greece. Also they eat warmer
foods as soups and pork. Another difference is that their roads are clean
and they have extra lanes for bicycles.
The school curriculum is different and in the majority of schools students
use their own laptops to do their homework and some project. They
have labs for physics and chemistry and rooms for music and arts.
But, there are some similarities. We have common sports such a football
and handball. Both Denmark and Greece have attractive sights and
monuments.
