Laugh. Dance. Learn Danish.

After much studying, I have officially passed Module 2 at Danish school. I can't confirm if I feel more confident trying to communicate with the Danes, I do however feel less lost when I go about town, especially when I am eavesdropping on conversations. I have actively been playing a little game: while sitting on the train I try to follow the conversations that are happening around me. I love hearing how people express themselves. "Hvad siger du?"(literally 'what are you saying?') seems to be a popular sentence... when I asked a Dane about this he said it's simply because Danes don't even understand each other! It seems to be an ongoing joke that even locals experience some trouble with communication. From what I hear this is not only in speech, but in writing as well. That's why my school has a course called "Danish for Danes".

I am going to miss my current teacher, Trille. I have decided to switch schools simply for logistical purposes - I can ride my bike to this new school! Thank you Trille, for being so fabulously entertaining for the last few months!! Here we are:

If I had 5 million kroner....

What I love most about my morning power walks is looking at all the homes in the neighbourhood. They are all so unique and different, it's also funny because the roads are not at all in a grid so I sometimes end up going in circles! The sun has been shining and it brings a great amount of energy - the sun comes up really early... and soon it will be coming up at 4am!! Long days indeed - in a good way, of course. It's really peaceful living outside of the city, I was reminded of the countryside the other day when I jogged past:

With animals come the smells... I was bike riding the other day and I literally had to hold my breath because of the horse manure! There is a horse race track up the road which should prove to be an interesting summer evening activity! Here are a few more:
