At the Snows house.

For the last two days, I have been at my cousin Axel and his family's house. My dad and mom and I went to their house for dinner on Friday right after school, and I decided to spend the night there afterwards. Axel and I played on the drum set that their house contains and also poker and some computer games while his parents were at a jazz concert. Then, after a late night of hangin' out, I went to bed at about 12 p.m.

In the morning, Axel and I decided to go to the expirimentarium that is in downtown Copenhagen, close to where they live. When we got there, being it Saturday, the place was packed and had a long, long line. So, we went to the shopping mall right next to it, thinking that we had hit mid-morning rush. After browsing the shops, we went back to the expirimentarium and sure enough, the lines had cleared up a little and it was no problem getting inside. Inside, there were lots of fun science experiments that we had fun with. My favorite, was guitar strings, in front of a spinning wheel that had white stripes on it. It showed the waves that the guitar string makes sort of like sound waves. If you have a hard time picturing it, Axel put a video up on youtube which is: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YGcAGaOUs9w
I hope you liked that!
There were other cool things that, if you want me too, just tell me to post another blog about all of the projects in there.

Sunday morning, we met my family and Kaj, who had been staying in Roskilde during this period, and had a nice breakfast planned out. It was a restaurant that the Snows had been to and raved about. When we got there, it turned out, that the tables were reserved until 1 p.m. But, we just went into an art museum that was having a jazz concert and ate in there. Then we looked at the art, and finally, saw the jazz concert. And, after a quick bus ride, and then some car driving, the Kildegaards were home, and Otto could not wait to post this blog!

Until next time!

In School Tuesday

Well, today my schedule is short and school should have ended at 12:45. But... unlike in USA, here, when a teacher is gone, instead of having a substitute, we just get out early. I was supposed to have 2 periods of Physics/Chemistry, followed by a Danish class. But the Physics/Chemistry teacher was gone. The Danish teacher, Mette, was going to just have the Danish class and then we could leave for home, but she was in a different class then, so we just sat around and talked. Then she came in when we would have had the 2nd Physics/Chemistry class and after that, we got out at 11:20.
The reason I tell you this is because I find this as a very big difference from in my school in Morris.
Until next time!

Embarrassing Man!

Today, like the other days, I was just casually riding in the bus. I was sort of daydreaming about who-knows-what, when I thought to myself that the bus stop should be coming up anytime now, so I glanced out the window, and sure enough, there goes my bus stop, rolling into the distance... I may have cussed out loud, im not sure, but the point is, I wasn't in a great mood. I pressed the stop button hoping that the next stop would be in walking distance from Gundsølille, the town that my school is in. The next stop turned out to be about 3 kilometers from Gundsølille. I checked the bus schedule to see if I could catch a bus over there, and sure enough, the bus was coming in about 10 minutes. So, in about 8 minutes, I realized, that my bus pass (which was payed for distinct locations) wouldn't work with 358 bus in Tåstrup, the town I was in. This didn't improve situations for my self of steam either. I decided, that I had no choice but to walk back to Gundsølille. So I walked along the road, as person after person, looked at the strange boy who was walking with a schoolbag along the road. Finally when I got to school, as expected, my friends laughed at me.
This is the story of the day Otto got embarrassed.

Library!!

I just found out that the library in Roskilde has video games!!!
Suddenly I have taken a whole new interest in the library. Im not saying that I dont like books, Its just that I have most of the books I could want (for a while anyway) at home. Just wated to point this out!

The Snows came to visit.

Today Axel, Kaj, Lise, and Luther, came over for a while. When they showed up, about 1 p.m. we immediately went out the door and all squished into our little peugeot! With Kaj, Axel, and myself in the "trunk", we had a pretty fun adventure. Once we got there, (I cant remember where it was at the moment), we walked by the fjord, out onto some docks and absorbed the wonderful view. Then we went into a church yard and looked at all of the graves. There were I think 2 people named Otto! There were also some named Arne, Axel, Lise, and Kaj! After this we came home in the squished peugeot once more... But we made it and once we got home, we had happy hour followed by a nice and friendly (not!) game of spoons. Following this I played video games with Axel, and finally we ate Dinner and dessert. After some youtube watching, they decided to leave us, and here I sit writing this down. For now it is a farewell!
