Update on my life here in Denmark 8/11

So like I said, its been about a week and a half since I left for Denmark. So here's whats been going on this week.

Monday I started danish lessons in Copenhagen with all the other Rotary exchange students in district 1470. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Who would've thought that I liked sitting in a class room for about 4.5 hrs with 2 breaks? But I love learning danish. And so far since its the basics, I can understand most everything. I know it will get hard soon though... so I'm anticipating much learning in the next 3 months!

But here's some things I realize that may never change:

-The very second someone hears you speak english, the wont try to speak danish to you

-If you try to say a word in danish (and say it perfectly) everyone will laugh... because you said something in danish

-Danes are very skilled when it comes to riding bike, they can even ride in 5 in. heels!!

-The second people hear you're from the U.S they say... OBAMA!!! WHOOO!!

-Everyone wants to know if all americans are fat

-Sometimes... you will just always be "Megan, the exchange student from the U.S"


So there's been alot of things I've learned here. But most importantly that by being here, I've learned alot about my country in addition to learning about Denmark.
I've learned that I'm capable to doing things on my own. And I've learned that a smile can get you further then you think.
