Love from Home!

YAY! I got a care package from Grandma and Aunt Bobbi today! I was smiling the whole way from school back home while carrying this huge package. Danes don’t usually walking around with a grin on their face, so I probably looked pretty silly :)

001

I opened the second I got home, and was super happy to see that I can catch up on all of my celebrity gossip since I can’t watch The Soup every Saturday morning now.

002

I also got this pillow, which is perfect because I miss Timmy and Cody, my cute little puppies, so much! Every time I see people walking their dogs I stare longingly at them. They probably think I am going to try to steal their dogs or something haha. Instead of dogs, I live with these two cats…

007

Unfortunately, they just don’t cut it.

Moving on… I also got TONS OF FOOD! This is great because I pretty much eat the same thing everyday. At least now I am adding another food group… candy!

009

And these extremely delicious cookies!

003

I don’t think I waited more than 1 second to eat one after seeing them in the package.

004

Yes, I smile when I eat cookies.

005

Here is all of my loot! Granola bars (hardly anyone eats them here), coffee, mac ‘n’ cheese, bagels, and of course everything else I said earlier.

Thanks again Bobbi and Grandma! You are the best :)

Now I have to go to the Kommune to register with the city and get my CPR number. In Denmark, everyone has to have a CPR number, and it ties them to everything about their lives: bank accounts, books they’ve checked out, fines, tickets, taxes, healthcare… everything. They really trust their government here, something I don’t think would fly in the United States. Different cultures, different histories.

Goodbye,

Emily
