tivoli

Hey everyone,

so, on weds of this week i got to go to Tivoli (an amusement park in Copenhagen) with my creative industries class for a field study. we went at around 11 am and the park was almost emptied so we tried most of the rides including the star flyer (the world's tallest carousal at 80 meters, about 262 feet) and pictured below:
after spending a decent amount of time in tivoli i headed to "Club 36". Club 36 is an after school program for muslim kids to come and do a variety of activities like go on the computer, watch tv, play pool, get help with homework, etc. I went and helped tutor kids with their english and math homework. This turned out to be somewhat difficult, explaining hard math problems can be tough to someone in their second language, but i had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back.

After Club 36 i ended up going back to tivoli (i had an all day wristband) and spent some of the night there with Lynsey and her host family. Tivoli is awesome at night, lights everywhere. I'll try to get some pictures from Lynsey.

Also, i have tickets to the two next FCK games (sunday and weds) and can't wait to go to both.

Friday night i ended up going to a social event with my host parents (someone cancelled at the last minute) We went to the copenhagen main police building and went on a tour (which was in danish) and then headed for dinner at this musuem. The restraunrt was on the 5th floor and had an amazing view of the city. The food was really good and it was a lot of fun to talk to everyone (it was people from my host mom's work.

Also, here is picture i stole from someone with our study tour group outside of Jyske bank.


Also, Abby, Kira, and Erica are coming to Copenhagen in about a week to visit. There are on break from Hebrew U. Should be a good time.
