Loft Dwelling

I love Denmark. It's like living at world market, or at a waldorf school. Everything is really high quality like that and the people are all really good natured. And the houses and everything are SO CUTE. They all have those awesome picturesque roofs (including the one I live in). The people are also beautiful. There are tons of trees and flowers and plants EVERYWHERE which is great, and it's cool but not really cold yet. Everybody wears jackets already, but I wasn't really cold today. It just felt nice, and I only put my jacket on once during today.

The house is soooooooo awesome, though very different than what I'm used to. There are 4 stories including the basement (currently getting renovated). My room is awesome! It's the loft. I have about half the floor as my room, and the other half is my bathroom. My room is really cool...it's got a big closet, I have a little table with chairs, a rocking chair, a big TV & dvd player, a HUGE comfy bed, and shelves. And two little windows on the ceiling/wall that I can open. I love it. I'm so tired that I really don't want to put pictures up right now but I will soon.

Oh and the house has a garden...an actual garden like the ones you read about. It's got roses and tons of flowers and fruit trees and cute benches, and my host mom said their gardener decided to "take a holiday" so I suggested that I become the new gardener, and she loved the idea. That will be the coolest thing ever!

I just can't describe how beautiful and NEAT it is here. My family is wonderful too!! They left a basket of goodies waiting for me in my room. They are so sweet and welcoming! And the kids are REALLY cute.

Danish is really cool, but hard. I forgot how it feels to not be able to communicate with anyone except your "companion" who is my host mom in this case. Not as many people speak english as I thought (though I haven't really met anyone yet). I've picked up a few common words so far, but it's definitely going to take some time.

Bed now!
