My host dad picked me up from the airport and we went to see downtown Copenhagen then home for lunch and tea. My family is really nice, mom, dad, 17 year old son and 14 year old son. The 17 year old (Kristian) is pretty introverted and the 14 year old (Henrik) is the complete opposite, he has a VERY strong affinity for American slang/curse words! They also have a black lab named Malou (Ma-loo) that is super cute with a big block head!
As promised, I will now relate the bizzare things I have eaten so far:
Lunch: brown bread that had the consistency of banana bread kinda, but it is supposedly super healthy with some sort of fried fish ball thing and some condiment that is not known in the US (kind of like a mix between tartar sauce, mayo, mustard, and other weird stuff, it was pretty good with the fish)
Tea time: banana chocolate cake and really good tea
Dinner: Tacos (b/c nothing is more American than tacos) but instead of having shells they have "taco tubs" which are kind of like bowls...very good though, I cut the veggies!
I have finally unpacked and the lack of sleep is starting to hit me so I think I might turn in. For all of those out there in blog land that do not think this is an adequate description of my day (i.e. mom) I promise that this was not the most exciting day and I don't have that much to report; future posts will consist of more than just my food log!
This was a perfect description of your day and exactly what we want to hear! When I talked to you on skype, I think you were just too tired / preoccupied to give me any detail.
ReplyDeleteDad wants to know how big your room is? do you have a phone? Can dad fit into one of the SAS coach seats? Did Malou like his toy (Scooter wants to know....and if he didn't Scooter wants it back!)?
We wait for your next post!
And Colleen is right.....details, details and details.....you will want to look back once you are home.
Love....THE MOM and THE DAD
My room is actually pretty big, prob the size of Colleen's (more square shaped though). I don't have a phone yet, I'm going into DIS tomorrow about that. I think Dad could fit into a seat, my seat was smaller than regular ones I think... And yes, Malou really likes her toy, everyone loves a good squeaky toy!
ReplyDeletegreat first post, katie!!! tell us more about the house/ your room. are the boys hot? is the dad? and that food sounds pretty good so far, im excited to hear about all the other stuff you will eat. try everything!!! and if they start feeding you hot dogs, fried eggs, and noodles/rice, go punch a bitch.
