Visit to Copenhagen and Rotary!

Hey! Yesterday I went to my first Rotary meeting here, it's actually quite different. There is not one woman in my Rotary club and all the men are older, probably around 60. It was kind of surprising at first, but all the members were very friendly and introduced themselves. I went with my host sister and host father and I had to introduce and say some things about myself. It went very well I think. The rest of the meeting was interesting because I couldn't understand anything! Oh well, I am learning fast. I then came home and had some tea and hung out with my family. Today I went to Copenhagen with my host siblings (my parents are at work). We took the train and it was my first time on public transportation here. Im glad to say it is very easy to use and very comfortable. I look forward to using that train again, I think I will have to because I will have to take the train to school, which is one town over (Allerod). Once we got to Copenhagen my host siblings wanted to eat at subway. Subway is exactly the same in Denmark except for that a medium size soda here is a small size in USA and you cant refill in Denmark. I told my sister that everything is bigger in USA and she was amazed that they let you refill drinks in USA, they never let you in Denmark. After that, we went to a tower that over looks the city. It was quite a trek to the top but we made it and enjoyed the view (there is a picture attatched). We then walked through the shopping streets of  Copenhagen and to the entrance of the Copenhagen canal. It was very beautiful with all different boats and a bunch of different colored buildings. We decided to take a boat tour because Copenhagen has many canals throughout it. At the beginning of the tour it started raining very hard and we got ponchos to put on but it was very funny because we were out in the middle of the water with tons of rain and wind, it died away soon though and we got to see many things like the royal mansion and H.C. Anderson's house (the man who wrote many tales such as the Little Mermaid). We decided to head back to Hillerod (our town) after. I guess that my host family lives so close to Copenhagen that they don't have to spend all day there, just a few hours. Well I just got home and I had a lot of fun. Tonight we plan to watch Pirates of the Carribean, I'm excited because I love that movie. Right now I will upload some more pictures. More later!
