Last Friday morning I left for Denmark. I had been looking forward to this trip since I booked it just after Niko came and visited me. I got cheap tickets through norwegian airlines. It was a nice smooth flight, and I realized it was the first time I had ever truely flown completely alone. When I got there I met up with Jon Groom, another exchange student from minnesota who lives close by here in sweden (I think I have talked about him before). We met up with Niko shortly after in Copenhagen along with two other exchange students who live in the area down there. We walked around the city and niko showed us his school which is located directly downtown right on the main street. That night we met up with nikos parents at a famous place in copenhagen called Tivoli. It's an old and very nice amusement park with a couple rides. We walked around there and had dinner, then went back to their home town of Køge which is just a 40 minute train ride away. Saturday we walked around Køge and got lunch their. After that we went to a castle that is near by and went past the ocean. That night niko had a birthday party for his 18th birthday which was quite fun. Just a small get together with some of his classmates. Sunday was a down day where we spent at home skyping a lot of people from back in minnesota and things like that. Monday niko had school so he woke up early and jon and I woke up later and left for town to get home. I got back that evening. It was a great trip! So good to see Niko again and really fun to see where he actually comes from after hearing about it over a year ago! I'm really hoping to get back there again.
