Christmas

Well it's Christmas already!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Christmas in Denmark is a month long holiday, not just two days like it is in the States. They are intense. You get presents every Sunday until Christmas, there are about six different types of "Julekalender" or Chirstmas Calander. And then they celebrate on the 24th at night.
It's so intense. They eat dinner and there are rules to what you can and can't have. Once you're done eating (which is like an hour or hour and a half event) you then sing and dance around the tree....
Yes, like in the movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Once you're done with that you open all your presents.
And they don't do anything in the morning of the 25th.... It's very different but I really liked it...
Hope you all have a wonferful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Glædelig Jul og Nytår!!!

My City

I know that some people might think I'm weird when I refer to Copenhagen as 'my city'. And I know that it's thousands of peoples city but my Copenhagen is different from everyone elses. It is mine and it is special to me. It is the tiny corners of coffee shops, curled up with hot chocolate and a book, watching the people pass the window. It is the sounds of bikes on the side walk and buses passing. It is the smell of sugar and smoke that collide perfectly to make my city smell adverturous, wonderful and special. It is the fountian that I sit at with my best friends under the dark, stary sky as we talk and listen to the street performers. It is not needing a map because even if I get lost, I can look up and us a building as a reference. It is finding the small places, like a book store that sells English books. It is the unexpected happening yet not finding anything wrong with it. Everything in my city has a special sound, a special look to it. My city has a song that is only mine. And it is Mine.
