The plane ride was boring, and the movie didn't work, so there wasn't much to do. But i didn't really care becuase i was way to excited. I was in the airport and I had the most embaressing moment of my life. After going through security I was walking around and people were looking at me and laughing so I looked down and there was someones panty hose attached to my sock. haha, thats Denmarks first impression of me.<br />I met my host family and they're the best ever. I have two sisters, a nine years old, Mai and a seventeen year old, Mia. Then I have wonderful parents, Tommy and Vibeke. I live in a small town called Agger, its in Jutland right next to the sandy beach. :) I like running there, when its not too windy. The weather here is much colder, and it rains a lot. but not the same kind of rain its light and refreshing. I actually like it. The population of my town is 400, so its really a big change from mississauga. Everyone has cows. haha. I'm very close to a train station though, so its not hard to get to a bigger town. All the houses here are so close together, and the streets are very narrow. just like in the movies. Some of the houses have straw roofs!!<br />The first days of my trip i was really jet legged so i always wanted to sleep. But that olny lasted a couple days. My host mom had a birthday party so I met most of the family, they're really nice. My host grandma has travelled all around the world, she takes pictures. shes really cool.<br />The food here is amazing. haha I had the best danish of my life the other day. Oh and i actually like pickled herring and rye bread. My host dad is a chief so i'm being spoiled with great food. And my host dads grandma grows really good veggies in her garden. :) <br />I started school last wednesday. The students are super sweet. But the schooling is really diffrent. I travel with the same class to all of my subjects. The head of the school presented me in front of the whole school. so everyone knows who i am. I sometimes get confused, but there is always someone to help. :) The school made special danish classes just for the three exchange students. My danish is coming along, sometimes i can understand people when they talk. And I can say a few sentences. Everyone speaks english so its not too hard, but i'm still trying my best to learn danish. I can't wait until i'm fluent :D<br />I love it here so far. Today i will meet my host rottary club, i have to sing to them, so who knows... they might send me home eairly :P haha<br />Miss you guys!!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17524115532261026908noreply@blogger.com0
