Stockholm

Last month, I travelled to the Swedish city of Stockholm with my school choir. It was only four days long, out of which two days were solely for travel, but it was amazing anyway. We did a lot of sightseeing, including the King's castle and the Globe, and went shopping in the evening. We were hosted  by the students of Stockholms Estetiska Gymnasium. Estetiska Gymnasium was a school of art, with many aspiring musicians, dancers and actors attending it. I lived with the family of one of the choir members, and I had an amazing experience with them. On the last evening, we had a small concert, where we performed along with their choir, followed by a party for all of us.

Copenhagen

I travellled to Copenhagen twice last week, once with my host mom, and later with my friend. It was amazing to see how two big cities like Mumbai and Copenhagen can be similar, yet different from each other. With my host mom, I saw severeal places, such as Christenshavn, Christiania, Nyhavn and Amalienborg. I also went on a boat tour through the canals of Copenhagen and saw The Little Mermaid, the newly made Opera House, and some of their oldest ships. I most enjoyed walking through the streets of Christiania. It was quite an interesting neighborhood; abstract art filled the walls, the houses were differently built, and small wooden ships lined the lake. It was beautiful.

A attended the Game of Thrones exhibition later that week, and managed to get onto the Iron Throne and the Hall of Faces.

Confirmation

My host sister, Celine, was confirmed on the 22 of April. It was great to be a part of such an important day in her life, and experience a large part of the Danish culture. My host family held a party for their friends and family after the ceremony.

It's summer in Denmark again! The weather is finally great after some pretty unfortunate weather (including snow in April).

I have only about a month left in Denmark, It's going to be so odd not living in this absolutely stunning country, but at the same time, I also miss my family and friends in India now.

My Euro tour starts next week!

Stockholm og København

Så her har jeg skrevet en Danske blog igen! Hvis i vil læse den på nogen anden sprog, kig under denne tekst.

Here comes another Danish blog! I had slight trouble with translation to other languages last time, so I decided to write another English post myself instead of relying on Google Translate. Click here if you want to read it in English (It's the same as this post), and if you would like to read it in another language, then follow the link to my English blog, and I have written instructions on how to translate it into another language there. Enjoy :)

Stockholm

Sidste måned tog jeg til Stockholm sammen med min skoles kor. Det var en meget dejlig tur, og jeg er så glad for det. Det var en kor udveksling med vores, og Stockholms Estetiska Gymnasiums kor. Vi boede hos studenternes familier, og jeg boede hos en meget dejlig familie sammen med tre andre piger fra min kor.
Vi så meget af Stockholm, og kiggede i flere farverige butikker der hen. Vi så også kongens slot. Stockholms Estetiska Gymnasium var en kunst skole, med mange sanger, danser of skuespiller som gik der. Deres kor var så gode! Vi havde en lille koncert på vores sidste aften, og en aftensmad+fest efter den. Det var en virkelig hyggelig aften.

København

Jeg rejste til Danmarks hovedsted, København, sidste uge sammen med min værtsmor. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse, of jeg var meget overæsket til at se vor forskellig Mumbai og København, begge to store byer, var fra hindanden. Jeg så Christianshavn, Nyhavn, Amalienborg, og også Christiania! De var alle sammen så smukke, men jeg synes Christiania var den mest anderledes. De var meget normalt mennesker, men man kunne se de var også, på mange moder, forskellig fra de andre mennesker. Det betaler ikke skat, og de har selv lavede en kommune for sig selv. Der er meget flot kunst og arkitektur der, og der er altid mange turister omkring den. Det var ikke farligt der, heller ikke beskidte. Det var faktisk meget rent, og jeg tror ikke der var mange fattig mennesker der. Det var en virkelig fedt oplevelse. Vi tog også på en bådtur. Jeg tog også til København sidste weekenden for at se en Game of Thrones udstilling sammen med min veninde. Det var meget hyggelig, og jeg var så glad for det.

Konfirmation

 Min værtssøster, Celine, blev konfirmeret på den 22 April i Ringe kirken. Det var så spændende at se en konfirmation for første gange, og at være med i en meget vigtig dag i min værtssøsters liv. Der var også en stor fest efter hendes konfirmation, og det var mega sjovt.

Det bliver sommer i Danmark nu!

Jeg har kun en måned tilbage i Danmark. Jeg er meget ked af det, men jeg glæder mig også til at møde min familie og at tage på Euro turen.
