Well, I think it's definately safe to say that I am terrible at keeping up with my blog. But I am taking alot of pictures, I should be able to put some of them up pretty soon. I cannot remember how long it has been since I last wrote, but I daresay alot has happened between now and then. A few weeks ago I attended Rock in Randers which is basically a weekend where all the exchange students in Denmark get together in Paderup Gymnasium. There were the oldies fom US of A, Taiwan, Ecudor, Brasil, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Chile etc. [View Full Entry]

Well, sorry about the last entry, I'm still figuring out how to use this, and the entry was cut short. Lucky i'd saved some of it :) Anyway, I thought I might just give a quick recap on the weekened I had. Friday night was the second school party for me at my school. It was fancy dress, just as Camilla's the week before. This time however I had a little more time to construct an appropriate costume. I went as a fairy princess instead of repeating the whole 'made-these-ears-in-two-minutes' koala attempt of last week. Camilla if you're reading this I [View Full Entry]

This is an extract form a group I found off facebook which made me laugh, some of the points are SO true, so I though I'd share them with you... Here are my favorites: * before waiting to see if anyone understood what you meant, you start acting it out. *you think 100 pounds to pack up your entire life is plenty of space. *you don't have preferences anymore, especially when it comes to food. Nothing tastes familiar, thats for sure. *you spend a lot of time smiling, nodding, and pretending you understand what's going on. *you classify "doing your homework" [View Full Entry]

Copenhagen - Skagen Thursday 11th September (Day 17) Today we said goodbye to the nice people at the B&B, & headed into the main city train station for our trip north. We had decided to get a rail pass to travel around Denmark as it was relatively cheap, and also easier, since we didn’t really have any idea where we were going (as usual). Denmark is actually made up of three main islands - Zeeland (where we currently were in Copenhagen), Funen (in the middle) and Jutland (the biggest and northernmost island). Today we were heading for Skagen, at the northernmost [View Full Entry]

HI everyone! I just got home from Skagen with my host family! It was so beautiful and one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen! It took about three hours to drive there, but it was completely worth it. By the way, Skagen is a town located on the most northern point of Denmark. Its a place where you can see the East and Noth sea collide together. We left friday after school and arrived later in that afternoon. All of the houses are yellow, with white trimming, and white fences. It was kind of scary because every house [View Full Entry]

I started my Europe trip by flying from Boston to London on Friday September 5th, so my trip started 5 days later than Kelly's. I flew all day and arrived in London at night which made jet lag much easier to handle. I met up with Kate Stangl and went to where she is staying for her semester abroad in South Kensington. The area is beautiful! There were 4 other Thayer Academy grads in London that weekend and it was nice to see familiar faces in a new country. Three friends from Vanderbilt are also living in London this semester for [View Full Entry]

Op de veerboot Maandag 4 augustus rond 20:00 uur reden we met de auto de veerboot op. De reis ging van Frederikshavn (DK) naar Göteborg (S). Het weer was slecht, maar het eerste uur was nog wel te doen. Daarna begon de ellende. De golven werden steeds hoger en het schip schommelde flink heen en weer. Het was moeilijk lopen aan boord en je moest je echt vasthouden om niet onderuit te gaan. Toen we eenmaal zaten met een cappuchino en een espresso begon een vrouw aan een tafeltje tegenover ons haar gehele maaginhoud over haar kleren te spuwen. Enkele [View Full Entry]

Tag 18: Skagen - Hals, 111.68 km, Fahrzeit 6:10, Durchschn. 18.07 km/h, Gesamtstrecke 1358 km Morgens an der Rezeption des Campingplatzes noch mal nach einem Laden mit Campingartikels gefragt. Ich will meine Isomatte! Nach Auskunft der Mädels hinter der Theke gäbe es in Frederikshavn so etwas, ein kleiner Laden direkt in Fussgängerzone. Ob ich denn mit dem Auto da wäre? Nein, mit dem Fahrrad. Grosse Augen: Ob ich den die ganze Strecke nach Frederikshavn mit dem Fahrrad fahren wolle? Frederikshavn ist etwa 40 km entfernt... Ein gemischter Tag: Immer wieder Regenschauer, aber noch [View Full Entry]

Tag 17: Hirtshals - Skagen, 64.15 km, Fahrzeit 3:32, Durchschn. 18.07 km/h, Gesamtstrecke 1246 km Morgens beim Zeltabbau macht es plötzlich "Knack", und ich habe statt drei Zeltstangen plötzlich vier. Ich bin mir nicht mal bewusst, die Stange ungewöhnlich belastet zu haben. Den Bruch kann man mit der mitgelieferten Reparaturhülse rech gut provisorisch beheben, aber wenn das nochmal passiert, habe ich ein Problem. Die gestern durchgeführte provisorische Reparatur der Umlenkrolle am Fahrrad mittels eines Gummiringes ist ein mittelmässiger Erfolg. Wie erwartet läuft das Rad wieder sc [View Full Entry]

So, we have returned from the land of legos! On Wednesday morning we took off on a ferry from Gothenburg to Frederikshavn, Denmark, which is a 3 1/2 hour trip. It was a bit of a rocky trip, so it was funny to walk around in a zig-zag pattern! Once in Denmark, we had a 3 hour drive to the vacation apartment where we were to stay on the south side of Jutland in Denmark. Here there was a swimming pool, trampoline, play area, a beach...a wonderful family destination place. Nolan was the only English speaking kid in the swimming pool, [View Full Entry]
