Day 1: Copenhagen to Hvalsø
Very tired, will sleep soon.
Day 1 was exhausting. 14 hour flight ( slept through most of it, ate the nasty plane food) then waiting for 2 hours are the Hilton for host family.
Jenn- roommate (separate rooms). Quiet. Kinda Awkward. Didnt seem too keen on making more conversation but that might be because she was really tired.
Martin ( the dad)- big. really big. deep, accented voice. dry humor, very straight foward, but not bad intentioned.
Eva ( the mom)- gentle, timid, shy. helpful and sweet.
Sofie ( youngest daughter)- pudgy, a little dorky, and very sweet as well. Like her mom but with better English. Also likes Twilight apparently.
Mikael (middle son)- reserved, good English, adds in to convos when parents are at loss for English.
The house- SO SMALL. O.O. located in the countryside. Very beautiful, quiet, and green. I heard owls. OWLS. There’s a forrest in the back. I live in a tiny tiny tiny room hahahaha. the roof is slanted in but i have this cool window. My room is so small. I hope the bed’s comfy.
The town- the cutest, little quiet town. almost like out of a movie. I’m kinda far away from the train -_-.
Weather- good today, but rained after dinner. I heard it’s been raining a lot.
Food- umm…small portioned and not that great. I’m used to steaming, delicious, large platters of yumyum Chinese food. This has a lot of veggies. the food is very fresh, but small portioned. the taste is light to bland. Had some wedding cake. Not my kind of sweet.
Everything is really small and nothing is excessive. Unlike good ole America.
I’m going to have to figure out the transportation system. I WILL BECOME COMPETENT WITH DIRECTION. I live an hour away from school.
Going into Copenhagen tomorrow.
Also I felt very homesick when I got to my new home. Dunno why, just incredibly intensely homesick. Never been like that in Chicago. Then again that’s a different city not a different country. Much better now. More excited. And more scared im going to get lost.
First impression: I have a lot of change to get used to. Also, I hope I can lose weight through this. Haha jk, Denmark is very beautiful, the people are very good looking, and everything is much more economical than America. I’m not supposed to compare, but I cant help it. NEED TO SLEEP, GOTTA WAKE UP EARLY.
