Woke up super early... got dressed. Tyrine got my breakfast ready ;) jus like my mom used to do for me..
We took the bus to school (me and runa). Friedriksborg is colossal. We were amazed at the view.
All of us were greeted warmly and allotted a room where we would assemble everyday and begin our day. We were introduced to the Danish history, culture and lifestyle. You know the word ‘Denmark’ dates back to the Viking Age and is carved on the famous Jelling Stone from around 900 AD.
The country is world-known for its focus on sustainability, new Nordic food, bikes, classic furniture design and for being the happiest country in the world. :) (no doubt!!!)
Their were many activities planned for us. The first one was speed dating. We were asked to talk to all the danish hosts and know a little bit about them.. We asked some random questions and got funny answers.. It was a great way to know each other.
Then we went for the school tour. Its a palatial building with ample space and attention allotted to each part. The classes are spacious, airy and have good lighting. And the gardens and the stadium are impeccable. The school boasts of a large library (scroll down to have a look :) )
We were given time to explore the school. Then we had lunch in the same room. We were given instructions that in case you forget or get lost somewhere (Huge building ;) ) , you can come to the same room and get help from here.
After the lunch, we headed for gym class. It was a king-size stadium. We first completed 5 rounds of the stadium as warm up and then we played basket ball and badminton. It was real fun ..
The school got over at 2.00pm. after the school, we all went to friedriksborg park and spent some time there. Everyone was busy clicking pictures ,running and having fun.
All left for home but me and runa went for grocery shopping.. We bought some chips, chocolates and we came back.
In the evening, runa and I did some yoga. Oh, I forgot to mention, before we came to denmark, Runa and Tyrine were in India. They had visited Kerala and explored southern India. They learnt about yoga and ayurvedic medicines. Thats where she caught on yoga. And my yoga skills, thanks to our yoga teachers at school, which helped us bond.
After dinner, our hosts planned to take us to beach. We had bon fire, watched sun set ..Played many games, danced a lot.. (sorry not much pictures, no battery :( ) But we had a great time.
And i guess thats what count right?? technology has actually spoiled us.. we miss real fun while capturing everything.
ooops sorry for the above thought, but it was a glamorous golden sight.
Enjoyed a lot..
School tommorow... Gotta sleep.. Buh bye ;) 2
