Hej Everyone,
Welcome to my blog! I don't know how consistent I will be in writing, but we'll see.
This year I am staying in the beautiful town of Svendborg, which is in the south of Denmark on the island Fyn. Svendborg is a small town but I like it here. I have already walked around the city centre a few times but I am still getting used to the streets and town
At the moment (to be more precise) I am staying on a small island just near Svendborg called Tåsinge. My first host family are very sweet and as well as my host Mum and Dad I have a host sister who is 17 named Camilla. We are living on a sort of farm, with a few cows and chickens and some horses. My host sister is into riding and show jumping!
My fist day of school at Svendborg Gymnasium on Wednesday was so scary! But really exciting too! I don't even know where to begin...School in Denmark is so different than in Aus... For example, tomorrow my morning class is cancelled, so we don't go. Also the students all use their laptops, I really don't know how I would pass my exams in Denmark with all the distractions of facebook and email during school, but I guess it is something that you get used to. Oh yeah, and the main difference...all the lessons are in Danish!! So, at the moment there is a bit of a language barrier. The students all speak perfect English though, but I hope to learn Danish so that I can talk to them in their own language.
School has got better every day and my class is really nice! Today I didn't go to school because I joined a Danish class with the other exchange students. I couldn't really understand much because the other students have been here almost 6 months so their Danish is good already. They are all really nice though!
This weekend I went to Frederica and watched Camilla in a show jumping competition. It was really cool! I also went to the birthday party of her 2 year old niece.
I cannot wait to tell you all about my other experiences here! I am sure there will be so many more! If you are finding this boring at all...sorry =( but you don't have to read!
I'm not really sure how to end a blog...so I will just say, bye everyone!
