First day

hello every one..

today is our the first day of our stay in this beautiful city copenhagen. Its the capital of denmark. You know denmark is one of the Scandinavian countries, which also includes Norway and Sweden. Details of why such name etc i'll update later .. but right now i am super excited for my stay here.

Oh and before i run away with the details of our fun filled day, let me tell you.. why we are here and how are we supposed to work: we are here for student   cultural and exchange program..we were divided into groups.. few of us are going to stay in odense an island and remaining in Copenhagen capital of denmark...
its our first step to learn a completely different culture and enrich our country with the beauty out here.

So as i mentioned we were going to stay with the natives,we were allotted families beforehand. As soon as we landed, we were awestruck by the beauty of the country. it was such a delight. We were very warmly received by our hosts here. My family,( yes! you read it right) includes Runa , her mother  Tyrine and her father Lars. They live their two cute cats Miki and Pheobe. They'll remind you of the Snowbell from stuart little (Scroll down for their pic;) )
we reached home in less than twenty minutes. The people here are really friendly,they made me very comfortable. The cats were friendly but i was scared at first, They followed me everywhere. jumped on my bags.. i literally jumped up and down with them... they had fun..i could see ;)

Next morning ( technically my second day, but night stay doesn't count , does it? ) .. anyways.. next morning runa , tyrine(mother) and lars (father)  went out for horse riding. Tyrine is really fond of horses .. she owns a no. of horses of brown color...  the horses were cool but i could not ride them ..i guess they were not ready for me ;) next time may be..
The stay was quite huge and next to lake and ocean.. Crystal clear water.. oops.. crystal clear freezing water. i was not able to stay in it for more than 40 seconds i suppose. it was too cold.. But seriously it was such an amazing view.. You can just fall in love with the serene beauty of it..
People come here for outings. there were dolphins.. and huge eagles... Watching dolphins play was amusing.. We had fun..

We went to our friends in the evening. Gunjan's family was the host for the evening. Jhanvi's family and my family were guests.. But its was not really formal  like hosts and guests. We were all like a big family having bon fire, playing pranks, telling stories.. barbeque was some thing new for me... The food here is good but i do miss my mom-made food..  :(  we had a great time although it was quite cold out there.

Overall it was a great start..Looking forward for more fun ;)
Till then cya:)
