2 Weeks In!

Hej!

I'm two weeks into my exchange and I'm loving it.  My host family is amazing, and people at school couldn't be any nicer and more excepting.  On friday, the invited me to the bar after school, which I thought was super kind, because they could of easily just not of asked me at all, so I'm really happy about that!  They seem very interested in Canada, and they want to know about where I come from and everything, which is fun.  I have never seen so many beautiful girls in my class before in my life.  It is unreal.

Yesterday was a pretty full day for people in Sdr. Vissing.  Yesterday the town hosted what they called "Byfest" which is a town party/get together.  It was held at the local elementary school, where people in the town could play football (soccer) and have a few beers.  The towns football club, which my host brother and some of his friends are apart of, played another team in the area.  They came out on top 5-1 which was great.  Then later in the day they had a soccer tournament with different teams you made.  Our team won, and we got a free coca-cola. 

Later that night, in Silkeborg was a huge town party I guess you can say.  They had a band playing and I would say 1,500 + people were there parting.  The band was "Big Fat Snake" which is a popular Danish band, whom I have never heard of.  At around 11 pm they had a firework show set up.  It was the best firework show in Denmark, and they won a competition to show they firework display for everyone that night.  They fired off $55, 000 worth of fireworks and it was an amazing show.  Best show I have ever seen.
