Everyone thinks i'm danish

This is my first attempt at posting on my blog, i'm at the DIS (Danish institute for study abroad) library so i won't be able to post pics right now. Also, my camera is broken at the moment and therefore i won't be posting my pictures until i figure that out.

So i got into copenhagen about a week ago, the flight went great. I am living with a host family in the suburbs. My host parents are Bo and Tine and they have an 11 year old son named Oliver. Oliver just got a Wii and plays it all the time, its a lot of fun and i play it with him sometimes. The family is really cool and have a nice house, its not very big, but i like it.

I had orienation for the first couple days, they showed us around downtown and stuff, i took a few pics while my camera was still working. Downtown has a good setup, they have a few walking only streets with a lot of cool shops. About a third of the population bikes every day in denmark so they are bikes everywhere, it took a little getting used to.

The suburb i live in is about a thirty minute train ride or so from the city but right now the train station by my house is being repaired or somethign and i have to take a bus to another train line. Now it takes me almost an hour to get into the city.

Due to my blonde hair, somewhat blue eyes, and nordic looks all the danes here think i'm danish until i talk. A bunch of people have started talking to me on the bus in danish and in other places. The worst was on sunday when i was in a netto (a groccery store), wearing a white soccer jersey, and a guy comes up to me and asks, in danish;
`where is the spagetti?´
so i tell him i don't speak danish, only english and he is really surpised
so he asks in english, where is the spagetti?´
i tell him i don't work here and then some lady comes up to me and is like you work here?

wow, i'm writing a lot, i will have to save some stories for the next post and try to not ramble as much

On saturday, my host family had a big party and i got to hang out, eat, and drink all day with the extended family. It was so much fun and we played soccer for a few minutes with everyone, it was a great day, i ate so much food i couldn't move by the end of the day

On sunday, we went to the biggest soccer rivalry in denmark (fc copenhagen vs brøndby)
they are both copenhagen teams and they hate each other
i went with five people and we cheered for fc copenhagen even through the game was at brøndby, which was a dangerous thing to do
over a hunderd people were arrested before the game started
the fc copenhagen section was fenced off from the rest of the seats and with security surrounding it
and a couple guys spit on lynsey and I while we were walking outside the stadium (we were wearing fc copenhagen jerseys) so it was pretty crazy
unfortunately brønby won 1-0 but it was fun to go to a game that people cared so much about

well i need to go meet my survial danish class for dinner so i will write more later and post some pictures when i get the chance
