Hello! It is time for another blog post. By now I am starting to have a routine on what I do during the week.

This past Thursday (September 15) , I went with my Livability in the Modern City class to the Lousiana Museum. It was really cool. Right now, until Oct 2nd, they have an exhibit about "Living". There were some interesting collections of art that had to do with how people from other cultures live and how where they live is structured.  It was unlike any museum I'd ever been to. You could actually walk outside of the building and there were some pieces of art and could even see the water/ Sweden! Very cool. Here are some pictures you can check out. The second one was a shadow screen where the board would light up according to shadows. The last picture is the view from outside the museum.

That night I got back and went to an election party at my host family's friend's house. They sat around and watched the progress of the election. My host family was hoping the conservative parties would win, because the liberal parties would raise taxes even more, which in Denmark is already at 50%. There are 7 political parties in Denmark and I cannot even begin to explain how they all work because I do not fully understand it myself, but all I know is that the liberal parties won. Now keep in mind, the "conservative" parties in Denmark= liberal parties in the US and the "liberal" parties in Denmark= even MORE left- wing than Democrats. I don't really think that there are our Republicans have counter-parts in other countries, but perhaps someone could prove me wrong.

This weekend I didn't have anything planned or do anything, which was very nice. I went to Tivoli Garden on Saturday with my host mom, Anne Marie, my host sisters, Eva and Jane and their friend Sinne. I had a lot of fun, even though I was really tired. For those who don't know, Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park that is located in Copenhagen. It is apparently the 2nd oldest amusement park, the 1st being Dyrehavsbakken, which is also located in Denmark. We also had ice cream, which was nice. I love ice cream! Wish the weather was better, but oh well.

This week I have a lot of assignments due, so hopefully I will be able to get them all done. Still no luck with moving the internet so I can be on later than 9PM my time. My host mom has to order a special cord online, so hopefully they can move it in a couple of weeks.

Until next time...
