Woah, ok, I kind of fell off the radar a bit there... There is no way that I could condense all of the things I've been doing down into one entry so instead I present to you a picture dump.... read more

OK! I've finally worked up to writing a new journal entry! Everyone breathe a big sigh of relief with me... I see the last time I wrote was on the 22nd of April, and my plan is to write an entry that brings you right up to date. So get ready to read! On the 26th of April (it's so strange to be writing about this - it feels like it was an age ago now) I went to Belgium with the Rebel family. These guys are my second host family, and they're absolutely amasing. There's Julie, who is a preist but is not at all the way you are thinking of her - so stop thinking that!; Johannes, who is a banker and is very nice and friendly; Elisabeth, who is ten years old, is ... read more

I think this entry will be slightly less weird than the last one. I got back from Intro Camp today... I am staying with my second host family for a week because my actual host family is in Austria skiing. The rest of language camp was so awesome. So many great things happened and I can't even begin to cover them all so I'm not going to. I think that there are however two things worth mentioning: 1. My hair was seriously bad - I had a million split-ends - and hair cuts are so expensive here, so I got Kate to cut it for me. It worked out surprisingly well. It's shorter at the back and longer at the front, which looks cool. But she took about 10 cms off the back so.... It is ... read more

Warning: This joint blog contains an obscene number of personal jokes and sexual connotations. Parental guidance is recommended for persons under 15 years of age. Time for an update! Kate and Elisa are on intro camp this week, just chilling and junk. They got to Aarhus yesterday (Sunday) via train from Copenhagen. There, they met up with their Perth buddy Adam ‘the lad’ Spight. Around fifty other exchange students (mostly from Australia and Brazil) are also at the camp. Every day this week they will have 6 hours of Danish lessons. The rest of the time is spent hanging with the bitches in the lad pad and re-enacting High School Musical. Yesterday they had a tour of the school, as well as introductory assemblies. After dinner they enjoyed a sing-along in the lounge with Levi playing ... read more

I've now been to school for 3 days (although one of those days was an excursion), and I'm really surprised about how different the school system is. When I was in Japan last year I went to school for two weeks and I thought that that was different, but this is in a whole new league. First of all, it's no where near as strict as in Australia. You call your teachers by their first name, there are no uniforms, and in most of the classes you are basically left to your own devices, so if you don't want to work, you don't have to. Most people do though, which I think's pretty interesting. Also, you can just walk out of the class whenever you want, you can eat in class, and you can go outtside ... read more
