When were you in Denmark Slippy0?
I like the hair. Windblown hair is symbolic of summertime.

I'm always up for adventure. I've never been to Denmark though.
I think Slippy0 always traveled a lot if I remember correctly.

Yes I do travel a lot. Again, its my dad. He travels a lot and drags us along with him  As for gifts, Its mostly chocolates and other foods. Its not actually "Denmark Specific," as you can get Haribo and Kinder all over Europe, but its still delicious :3. I could get kitschy souvenir type stuff, but I'm really not into that, I feel like that's a cop-out. |

(IMO) chocolate in europe is generally better. While we can get Lindt and the such in the US, which I think is really good, europe has the variety that we don't have. I went to 6 different food stores and in each one I had a completely different selection of chocolates that I had never heard of before.

I would love to see Denmark someday. Back when I was in high school during my junior year, we had a foreign exchange student from Denmark, and when he talked about some of the places there, it sounded interesting to see.

whats your favorite place you have traveled? Man, that's really hard. I'd probably have to say Germany and China. I just love Germany, great food, great people, beautiful all around. From their castles to beautiful gardens, its amazing. China, everything is dirt cheep ;D Staying in 5 star hotels, traveling first class, etc cost less than 3 star and economy equivalent in US. Its also an amazing place in that its a real culture shock. Its still clearly very communist, and its quite an experience. I also really liked France and Israel. |

Those are good answers I am really curious about how China ( a Communist Government) is in society. Are there Movies and entertainment? Are they forbidden? Or they're allowed under certain conditions? I just wonder.
I'll ask something opposite of Jason's question, where have you been that you did not enjoy and would be happy if you never went back?

Well that's a tough one...
I don't think I can say there are any countries I haven't enjoyed, but specific areas.
The hostel I was staying at in Israel for 2 weeks was terrible... I mean, I'm fine with the cockroaches and less then amazing furniture, but so many people got sick (including me) from bad water... It was just unpleasant.
Also this cabin in Quebec we stayed while skiing there. It's heating was so bad, and we weren't prepared for it to be so cold... we were freeeezing. And my Snowboard bindings were bad and it caused me to really hurt my feet.

Its really good if you have traveled that much and only had 2 hotels that were bad and that still didnt ruin the trip.

Keep us posted on things. This is a big important time in your life. Just make sure you don't get too wrapped up in partying to get your education and good grades.

Hahaha, I can assure you that won't happen. There are a few parties happening right now and I am right here  Also its raining. It was tough saying goodbye to everyone, I actually became severely nauseous from worrying about leaving people and the stuff I have to do now. |

Its perfectly normal to be nervous. Most people are when theyre about to be away from home for the first time. College, service sports whatever the case is.
Classic was dating my sister he used to say he was homesick a lot when he started playing baseball.
But youre right and so is Phil you must focus on study. But it looks as though you will.
