This is my time in Denmark

Dear family and friends at home, 

 I’m here now, and I’m still a little nervous. I don’t know the little rules, and I don’t want to do something that is frowned upon in that country. Or say something that is again their religion. I’m sure that once I get more settled in, I’ll be more comfortable with this. They have a nice home here.  It has most of the comforts of an American house. A television,hardwood floors, many plants in the house, and, they have a fish. His name is Jecka, he’s pretty cool, and he was the first thing that I noticed, other than the cobblestone streets. Over all it’s pretty nice here. the people a really nice, all through the town, and the people in on our street, all waved, and said something, that was hard to understand for me.  Copenhagen, is a nice city, is not to bus, and bustling, like New York, but quieter, more laid back. It’s easy to get settled here. 

I have my own room now, on the first night, i had to sleep on the floor with their oldest child, Nikolaj, he’s 14. I learned allot about him that night. He’s really quiet, i found that out early on. But, i also learned that he’s really involved in sports. He likes wrestling, and says he’s really good at it. I didn’t believe him, until I told him to prove it. Yeah he took me down in about half a second, and pinned me. And he is on a swim team. He told me that he didn’t like it that much, but everybody says that hes got potential. He says that he does it because his friends do it, and thats the only reason he does. He’s allot taller then me, maybe 5’9, with dirty blonde hair that curls above his eyes. 

He also has a sister, he name is Naja, which is pronounced (Na`sha). Shes a cute little girl, and she’s quite interesting. I thought she would be shy like her brother, because when her family picked me up from the air port, she hid behind her mother, and father. But after a couple of days, when she got to be around me more, she was a bursting ball of energy.  She loves animals, and people. Pretty muchlike any girl in America, but, ten times that. She does gymnastics, and wants to be a dancer when she grows up. 

The parents, are allot different though. The father, Jesper, is very, very, artistic, and loves shapes, and sizes and colors. He works as a photographer for a magazine in Denmark, and has his own painting business. Well, its not really a business,as much as, he paints things, then he sells them.

The mother, Pernille, is a very quiet, and generous school history teacher. She is very smart, and knows more about her country than anny other person in he world (just a guess).

They All live in a modern house. It looks like something that you would see on a sub-urb, except two stories, not one. Its white, but very detailed on the inside.hardwood floors, a ceiling fan hat looks like palm leave. And more of a “jungle” type house. (jesper’s idea).

They live on a street near a park, and its only about a mile to the ocean. It’s pretty quiet, and really green, theres trees everywhere, but it oes well witht the buidings and such.

I think that all I really want to do now, is just take a walk around town, to see where everything is, and where I’m going to be for the next 6 months.
