Hvem bor her? Who lives here?

Som et medlem af International Societys bestyrelse, er jeg MEGET interesseret i at finde ud af "hvem" udlændinge er i Danmark...især i Herning Kommune. Jeg tror at andre er interesseret også fordi hver gang jeg møder nogen for første gang, spørger de mig altid: "Hvorfor flyttede du til Danmark?" Og mange følger op med andet spørgsmål: "Arbejder du hos Siemens eller er du gift med en dansk mand?" :-)

As a member of International Society's board, I am REALLY interested to know more about "who" the foreigners are in Denmark...especially in the Herning Kommune. And I think that others are interested too because when I meet someone for the first time, they always ask me the same thing, "Why did you move to Denmark?" and then many of them follow that up with a second question. "Do you work at Siemens or are you married to a Dane?" :-)

En statistik i Herning Folkeblad i sidste uge fortalte om hvor udlændinge i Danmark kommer fra. Da Mads så statistikken spurgte han mig om lande (ligesom en quiz) og jeg var imponeret at jeg vidste 8 af top 10! Jeg tror at det er meget vigtigt at vi ved hvor de kommer fra fordi vi har forskellig behov og forskellig forventninger som er afhængig af vores kultur. Men jeg undre mig.... kan du nævne de top 10 lande hvor udlændinge i Danmark kommer fra?

A statistic in last week's Herning Folkeblad told about where the majority of foreigners in Denmark are coming from. When Mads saw the article in the paper, he immediately quizzed me about which countries they were and I was pretty impressed that I knew 8 of the 10! I believe that it is really important to know where they are coming from because we all have different needs and different expectations depending on the culture we come from. But I wonder.... can you name the top 10 countries represented by the foreigners in DK?
