Post Intro Camp And Essentially Sick

Welcome back! I apologize for missing several of the days I planned on posting here. I just spent a fantastic week in the town of Bjerringbro near Aarhus. I was attending the Rotary Exchange Student Intro Camp and taking Danish lessons for  about 6 hours everyday (except for Thursday when we got to go to Aarhus). It was an incredible adventure. Tons of loud music and dancing Brazilians. It was quite exhausting but I enjoyed the social parts. It was good to make tons of new friends from all over the world (pictured here). Apart from the Danish lessons (which are already proving to have been quite helpful) the 166 of us enjoyed extra activities and Danish food. I personally participated in Filipino stick fighting, talks about living in Denmark, a bonfire/climbing wall night (I didn't climb the wall), a free concert with a band called Velvet Volume, and a dance party (some of these are pictured here). The bonfire night was fun because I got to play my guitar for a fun crowd who especially seemed to enjoy Wonderwall by Oasis (pictured here). This night garnered me the nickname "Ed Sheeran" since I'm a red haired guitar player. The concert was very fun as well and it reminded me of seeing shows at clubs in Seattle (pictured here). The food was honestly not the best food ever but it was adequate and showed me a lot of good Danish food. So basically tons of bread. Other than that it was a magical 5 days with a wonderful group of people that I hope will become my lifelong friends. We have truly become a family (pictured here). On a less exciting note, I have now become essentially sick, though not enough to keep me from going to school. I feel physically awful and tired as hell and have resumed my schooling (though I don't mind the schooling). Enjoy the pictures of my week (full credit to the wonderful people that took the pictures) and I'll post again some time later!
