Dane checking in here. On your last question, I'd say meetup.com for professional network, and if you enjoy any sports, join a club. I had a friend from Spain who struggled for almost a year with socializing with us cold Scandinavians. That is, until she joined a Kendo club (is that what it is called? The bamboo sword thing). By the end of her two years here she didn't want to leave.
