Hi I'm Alex, and this is the blog I am setting up for my yearlong adventure in Denmark. I will be leaving for Hjørring, Denmark, which is located in northern part of the Danish mainland, either the 30th or 31st of July. I have been talking with my host sister, Julie, and my host mom, Mette, on facebook. They are a very musical family. Julie plays the piano, sings in several choirs, and does theater from time to time. Mette also sings in choirs and participates in the theater. My host dad Lars composes music, and my host brother Thomas plays several instruments and is a member of several bands. They are taking me on a short trip down to a summer house in southern Jutland (the Danish name of the peninsula). I am very excited to meet them, and spend time with Julie before she leaves for Coopersville, Michigan on her exchange. The picture to the left is my host family on one of the many beaches in Denmark near where I will be living.
Hooray - next generation off to Denmark! Can't wait to hear all those weird guttural sounds of those amazing vowel combination's coming out of your mouth. Remember: Stay away from Danish soft serve, Danish Pilsner (you have the gene for beer blimpe body), pickled herring & that schnapps that tastes like potato ever-clear, bleach! Have a marvelous time, the best time of your life!!!
