Hello

Today has been my 2nd full day here. It is amazing here: the family is great, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is tasty. I had a 8 hour flight from Detroit to Amsterdam, during which I watched Star Trek, which was good, and Dragonball Evolution, Which was not good. While in Amsterdam Milly and I meet an exchange student going to Germany. We talked while waiting for our next flight to our final destination. Milly and I left Amsterdam for Billund around 3:40 PM Danish time and arrived 4:40ish PM, or 1640ish. When we landed we meet a Canadian Exchange Student coming to Denmark as well. We talked, exchanged pins, and picked up our luggage together. We struggled to find our way out of the airport, it was a well hidden exit. When we walked through the door we saw three families waiting for us. I found the Nissens and left with them. We arrived at their house about an hour later. Their house is amazingly beautiful, I will be posting pictures because it would be too much to explain. We had a typical dinner with pork, potatoes, sweet potatoes, french potatoes(chips), and something red. After dinner the family showed me a common Danish comedy, klovn(clown). It was a common Danish comedy because it pushed the envelope, if you know what I mean. I was a bit shocked. The father told me that the Danish value their freedom of speech, which contradicts what the Muslims value causing some unhappy international relations. After that I went to bed, I am sleeping in Anne's room, while she is still here she is sleeping with her brother David.

The next day I woke up around 8:20 AM, luckily I believe jetlag has only effected me slightly. Anne, David, Jebbe, and I had breakfast, which was just cereal and milk we got from a dairy farm next door. The parents left and we sat around the house and eventually got the cards to play a round of asshole, a card game. I lost all but one of the times. Later we rode bikes to a cherry farm where Anne used to work, and got to pick all the cherry's we wanted. They were good and we had a fun time. We came back and the father then took me on a short bike ride to exercise the three dogs their have. When we were riding down the street he lives on, out off nowhere a hedgehog appears and just sits in the middle of the road. The father used his boot to move it to the grass, the whole time it was hissing. It was so funny to see because it rolled into a ball while he was moving it so it was like he was playing soccer with it.

When we got back the father went into the back where a fence has been laid in a rectangle about the size of a small house. Inside this rectangle lived rabbits as if the lived in the wild, with holes and every thing. There are tons of them and so adorable. So the father takes some earmuffs, his dog, and his shotgun inside the fence and the next thing I saw was a clump of fur flying up from behind a small mound. He has to keep them from over populating.

Today I went to the shopping center with Anne and her two friends, we had a good time and the place was huge. This shopping center had tons of stores. I amused myself by learning some Danish from Anne. We had fisk for dinner, it was delicious, and watched a film that normally comes on every new years called "Dinner for One".

Well I am tired so I will go to bed, night
