First month

Right, so I finally decided to have a crack at writing a blog, but you really shouldn't be surprised if it becomes slack after awhile, those of you who know me would know that I am highly unorganised.
Anyway, it has been a month so far, here in Danmark, and so far I have loved every single moment of it. From the flights over (yes, even the 13 hour one on crappy Lufthansa, with no television), the airport antics (travelators :] ), the arrival camp, meeting all of the other exchange students and having a fantastic first 3 days, to the first meeting with my Host family, travelling to different places around Danmark, and the first days of school (as well as all the others that have followed). My host family has been really great, in the way that they have welcomed me into their family, and treated me just as they treat each other. We have alot of laughs together, and they are trying really hard to help me learn Danish, but I understand that it is extremely hard from their side, trying to teach a kiwi one of the hardest languages in the world.
Everything is so new and exciting, and sometimes a bit weird, such as all the cancelled lessons at school. All the girls back at NPGHS would LOVE it, i can guarantee, but too be honest it kind of annoys me, because I actually WANT to be in class, as strange as it may sound.
The language is definately a huge barrier that I hope to overcome within the next few months, and my Danish is ssss...llll....oooo...wwww.....llll.....yyyyy.. coming along. I can understand very small parts of conversations, and I know some phrases, but it is barely enough to have a conversation, which is what I really want too do.
Some things that I have noticed about Danmark so far, which are mostly just really small things, but have stood out to me alot, are;
1. Biking to school is extremely easy, since everything is so flat.
2. When we are in the car, and we stop at the traffic lights, they go GREEN-ORANGE-RED, and then RED-ORANGE-GREEN, which I can never get over, it just seems awfully strange.
3. There is no toast, only spread on bread.
4. MC Hammer pants are very fashionable.
5. Guys wear man-bags
6. It is ridiculously expensive to get your drivers license, and even more so to buy a car
7. If you tell Danes that you have never heard of B&O, and Royal Copenhagen, they will think you dont know anything ;)
8. Four very popular Danish past-times; Drinking, Eating, Sleeping, Drinking
9. Almost everyone speaks English very well, which is a bad thing, because then you're not forced to speak Danish
10. Guys think it's really cool to tuck their jeans, or trackies, or any sort of pants they are wearing into their socks.
11. Danes LOVE to hygge. And it is brilliant
12. Georg Jensen..say no more.
13. Danes love candles, refer to number 11.
14. When Kiwi's speak, we are often mistaken for Americans. Great
15. It's not uncommon to see kids around the age of eleven smoking
16. Danmark is NOT the capitol of Sweden
17. Danmark is also NOT the capitol of IKEA

But basically I have had a fantastic time so far, I love Danmark so much, I might never want to come home (haha kidding Mum and Dad if you read this). Sorry about this being all muddle up and stuuf, with lots of bad english. Haha
Vi ses, Kelsi ♥
