Hej
Hvordan går det?
Hva så?
Jeg er Sulten!
Hej Hej!
Okay so I have been very busy with school work and trying to learn Danish so that’s why there has been a slight delay in getting a post up..sorry hayden!
It was my Birthday last week and I was really hoping for a snow storm or at least a little tiny bit of snow but all it did was rain so that was a nice change from the sun. Here in Denmark they go quite hard out with birthdays and put flags everywhere! The Danes love their flags.
I got woken up at 6:30am by my family creeping into my room and singing the Danish Birthday song and waving flags in my face. I then had a quick breakfast and has to run out of the house and bike to school in the rain.
For the evening I went bowling with my family and also out to dinner, this was a change to how I normally spend my birthday evenings but it was still fun.
Just got asked a question in German and I had no idea what we were talking about so I just said Nein, I didn’t know if she was speaking Danish or German though they keep flicking between the two languages!!
Anywho back to the story: My host dad told me that I should stay at home on Friday night, a rather unusual request to a teenage girl but he said he had his reasons so I didn’t question him. I had been txting my Kiwi friends in Denmark during the week asking what they were doing for the weekend and they all said they were busy. Friday evening rocks around and I'm sitting in the Dining Room and HC (host dad) comes in and opens the doors outside and BAM my kiwi friends are standing outside, they had come to the Bro to surprise me for the weekend.
We decided to hit the town NZ style and so we were all set to walk into town but it was raining..as usual so we just catch a taxi, it came 5 minutes after we had rung I was so amazed. We got into town at 12, which was to early so we sit in a cafe and order some "non-alcoholic" drinks of course! We get into one of the discoteks and the guy brought over this free bottle of champagne for us, being a Kiwi in a small Danish town does have its perks! We then went into a pub where we had drinks brought for us, of course they were cokes though.
At 4 we decided to head home and started our brief but long walk home.
It was an awesome weekend being able to show them around my town and speak Kiwi again and not have to worry about explaining words! This weekend I have my school party, where they sell alcohol at the school of course I will only be drinking coke though haha. Apparently I am going to Germany on Sunday, HC wants to pick up some cheap alcohol. Im looking forward to running across the boarder going I'm in Germany, I'm in Denmark, I'm in Germany, I'm in Denmark.
Next weekend Ange (nz friend in Fredericia) and I are heading to Cobenhagen to see Elyse, that’s going to be a sweet as weekend! because there are alot of Exchange students in Cobenhagen and also Julia (nz friend in Sweden) might head across the bridge to come see us.
Yesterday I was involved in a 3-bike pile up! I was stuck in the middle and unfortunately it was me who ended up on the ground, and it was the day that I had worn shorts to school as well. But those are the dangers you face when everyone cycles everywhere and no one looks when they turn corners. I spoke at Rotary again this week, I decided to be brave and speak in Dansk and all the Rotarians were very impressed. A couple of weeks ago a Rotarian mistook me for Brazilian... I must look very Brazilian with my blonde hair and blue eyes!
Well I better go German is over and we playing Handball in Sport next woohoo! get to push people over and throw myself at the ground
