Okay. So I was talking to my friend about people laughing in different countries:
Like Japan is www
Brazil is Huehuehue
Spanish is jaja
Danish is hæhæ
And We were just talking about it and she said, Why can't they just laugh normal...
Why can't then just laugh normal...
I love my friend but this is just somewhere where I have now become different.
Why can't they just laugh normal...
That is their normal. Who am I to tell someone else who grew up in a completely different culture than my own what is normal or not. It's not wrong for them to laugh the way they do. It has to do with their language and their culture.
In Thailand they put 555 for laughing. That's because the way you say 5 sounds like a person laughing.
In Spanish jaja j=h.
and the list goes on and on.
I think I can tell I've become different now because I can tell where the cultural boarder is. I know that we do think that are different. The difference in me is, I know it's not wrong and I know that what they are doing isn't "not normal".

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO TODAY IS THE DAY (Or rather, yesterday was the day)!!! Let me just start out by saying that last night was some of the most fun I've had in a loooooong time. And needless to say, I currently have no voice... It was so amazing!! Let me fill you in.
So when me and Paloma got the København H, we sprinted through this huge train station to meet up with some other exchangers from other districts around Denmark. We had to catch a train but we were standing in the wrong place, so we had to run down the street to catch the right bus, which we did :) So once we got off the bus, we ran down the street so we could get in line for Macklemore. The line actually went pretty fast and before we knew it we were standing in the warehouse waiting for the concert to start. The concert started at 8 with a DJ playing a few songs, then the opening act, Chance the Rapper (from Chicago). He was pretty cool, but once he was done, we had to wait 30 minutes in a pack room for Macklemore to come on. But when he actually came on, it was crazy. He had this 3 minute intro before he actually even came on. It was the craziest intro ever. He came up from under the strange and there was fire and smoke and crazy loud bass. It was so great. After that song he started talking about how everyone here had a bike and that he went and rode around today. He also started commenting on fashion and pointed out that someone had a fur coat on (You know where this is going ;)) So he asked him to crowd surf it up to him and he wore it... While preforming THRIFT SHOP!!! And everyone went crazy! We were all dancing like maniacs. After that he sang another song before talking about equality. He started talking about same sex marriage and then sang the song Same Love. I don't wanna sound sappy but when he sang that song live with so much emotion, I actually almost started crying. It was amazing. Then he preformed Can't Hold Us... Oh my gosh. That was insane!!!Everyone was going absolutely insane! It was so much fun. Then he performed a few more songs and was about to leave but we asked for an encore. Which he gave twice. When he was telling us that the management was telling him that he needed to end the concert, one of the people yelled "Screw the system!" (A few more choice words I won't mention) and he heard it. When he heard it he laughed and commented on it. So, he gave us one for song. Can't Hold Us. Again. This time even more crazy than the first which I didn't even know was possible.
After the concert I went back to Paloma's house and stayed the night cause It was late.
I seriously can't even believe that I saw Macklemore. Live... In Copenhagen. Seriously. How many people in the world can even say that... and I'm one of them... Oh my gosh. I can't even.
... I need a nap... :3
