Today, I received a marriage proposal…from a five year old at my practicum site! He knelt down on one knee, said a few words in Danish and kissed my hand. How lucky am I?
So it is crunch time before I leave tomorrow, but I wanted to dedicate a brief post to my host family and share some of our adventures. They have been extremely kind, and I appreciate all the help they have given me over the past two months. Here’s an example: Recently, we’ve been talking about pick pockets and being careful while traveling. They gave me some advice to get a small purse I can keep inside my coat at all times. When I came home yesterday, my host mom had already bought a small one for me! I was so touched.
My host family has decided that since Halloween is an American holiday, I am an expert "pumpkin carver." So I was feeling a little pressured since my host family subtly mentioned tonight that they bought a pumpkin, and they wanted to carve it! We looked for designs on google and settled on a scary, angry pumpkin.
Here's my end result:
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Last Wednesday, we took a visit to the Open Air Museum. It was founded in 1987 in Lyngby, and it is 86 acres of older homes that have been preserved since 1650. Here's a web page describing the museum: http://www.natmus.dk/sw20384.asp.
