So as I am writing this post, little droplets of snow are falling down from my bedroom window. I will never get tired of this. It is so pretty, and the lyrics of 'let it snow' are running through my head. What makes it even better is that my host brother told me that the snow is snowball snow! Hopefully it will still be soft and fluffy in the morning so I can have my first snowball fight. I am so excited.
I had a really really good day today. It began with a brunch where I got to meet all of my host families. They are all so so lovely and I can not wait to stay with all of them. Hearing about all the amazing things that I will be doing like skiing in Norway for Easter, the Roskilde festival and christmas markets in Berlin make me even more excited for this year ahead. It will be an amazing one no doubt! The brunch made me realise that I am so blessed to have three beautiful host families!
After the brunch, I left Anita and Esben's place in the countryside and travelled to Roskilde and arrived at my first host families house. They live about 6km out of town, in a block of houses where all the families know each other. They have a common room, which is used for socialising and eating meals together on a weekly basis. I had my first experience of this tonight when I went to a birthday party for two of the people living in the area! It was really cool to experience actually! So I have been told that the Danes like to celebrate birthdays by decorating everything with their flag- and this is no understatement. The flag was everywhere, on the serviettes, on the table cloth, in the middle of the table- it was really cool! So i kind of did have Australia day- but with the wrong flag deco.
