Having a good time in Denmark once again. I love this country! The people I´ve met here have all been amazing. What´s funny is that every time I tell that to someone who lives here they are always amazed. While the natives of this country see their countrymen as closed-off, reserved people who keep to themselves I have found quite the opposite. As a whole, Denmark´s people have been the warmest and more welcoming yet.
And most of them speak english! That helps a LOT!
Two days ago I went with Kirsten and Deiter to K´s grandparent´s 50th anniversary dinner in Odense. It was nice of them to invite me along and I had a great time meeting her family. Traditional Danish food is yummy! It sure beats the 25 krøner pizza-slice-with-a-Pepsi special I keep picking up at the 7-11s around here. That´s the cheapest thing I can find when I´m walking around that fills me up for several hours 25k is a little more than $4 - EVERYTHING is expensive in Denmark. Plus there seen to be more 7-11s here than in the US (which I didn´t think was possible). I had agood time with K and D and hope to see them again.
Yesterday I met up with Signe, my current host, while she was SCUBA diving in the sea. She´s finishing up her certification course so she can go diving in Africa (I wanna go!!). Afterwards we hopped a fence and helped ourselves to a concert at Tivoli (it´s like a micro version of Disneyland). The band was a really popular one here in Denmark and I think the name was Swan Lee, but that could just be how it sounded to me at the time.
