I just keep on learning!

Here's what I learned here in Denmark after the first week:

-Teens are given A LOT more freedom
-You can be 16 to buy alcohol
-Its fashionable for guys to wear short shorts and to have spiky hair
-There can be a Dj playin in H & M while you shop
-Nothing here is "cheap"
-People in Copenhagen are very friendly/talkative... especially when they hear "tourist"
-Bikes are everywhere you go
-Nudity isn't looked upon as a big deal

*Hyggelit is EVERYWHERE*

Also,

-I saw drugs for the first time in my life: AKA Christiana, the "hippie" community
-Bargining is usless when they find out your a "tourist", as they say
-Grandmas (no matter where in the world) will always, ALWAYS over feed you
-Danish coffee, elderflower drink, and scandanvian cider is AMAZING!
-I want danish birthday cake everyday of my life
-No matter where I go, people assume I'm German even before I speak
-A smile can subside for not speaking the language
-I want to live in a straw roofed danish home
-Always say "yes" (unless its one of the four d's) on your exchange


Its already been one week in Denmark. I'm still in the "confusion stage", but Im learning quickly what life is like here. Soon I will be speaking the language, and going to Virum Gymnasium! I'm excited to make good friends and to learn more as my journey continues on.

Time for bed. I love you all at home, and I appreciate your support.
