Is this real?
Tomorrow is my 4 week mark. It means I will now have 4 weeks and 6 days left in dk.
I can't believe I wont be here much longer.... Infact I cant even begin to comprehend it. Its like my real life is slipping away through my hands and I cant catch it. New Zealand feels like unreal. Its strange. It feels like i've been living here my whole life then again there is NO WAY that it has been a year, the time has just gone way to quick. I feel like I my family now is my family, like i've been adopted. I cant believe that I will soon be seeing nelson people... Its like i've left had the funeral and have moved on and then all of a sudden they're all alive again.
I can already imagine how annoying being with my parents is going to be. Infact I just dont want to think about it. A year with a quick hello e.mail here and there to "you have to be home at 10pm" Its going to be hard... Then there's university. I want to be there now. In some ways I just want to go back and have the best summer getting drunk on the beach with my best friends taking photos... then again I feel so passed that. I'm like split in two right now. Half of me is ready to have dance parties, roadtrips and sleepovers, and sneak out to the beach at 2am to meet with guys and go for missions like old times.... Then the other half of me is wanting to go out for dinner and then go clubbing and spend a night out and then go to bed and sleep or host dinner parties. I dont know I feel like i'm in the transition where I either need to let loose and have fun or mature up and move on from my childhood.
I'm torn in two.
Love

Wondering...
Do you ever just find yourself so lost in thought that you wonder if other life forms exist?
At the moment this topic is heavily on my mind. I'm reading Dan Browns book Deception Point and they have just found a meteor that has massive fossilised bugs encrusted in it. The Universe, I am terrified of.
I'm not asking what the meaning of life is but seriously Its just too much to be able to handle and take in. The vastness of the Universe or Univi (plural of universe hehe)... I cant comprehend that I am made up of atoms living in a world with 7 other billion people on a planet with millions of billions of other things on it, in the solar system amongst probably billions if not trillions of other solar systems. How many earth like planets with life on them are there?
I have to apologise for not updating sooner... I have been travelling ALOT and well have only just gotten to a computer with some spare time! Hope you all keep reading!
Anyway I do have something extra special for you! My friend just linked me to this guy and he is really raw but does his own backings and basically comes up with this little beauty:
Bernhoft - Cmon Talk
Hows things with you?
Lots of love,
H.

Travel lykke!
Sorry for not having posted in a while, things are just getting SO busy. It's fantastic!
This wed, I am heading to Belgium! Is it even possible to be this excited?? Imagine seeing your best friend after only having facebook as a means of communication for th past 9 months! I am on the verge of bursting with excitment, and even better I get to go and check out Belgium too!
Mannekin Piss Here I Come!
I guess I haven't been the best with Explaining about what life is like for me in Denmark, so i've decided to put up some pickys of things like food etc.. Hopefully its a little taste into what its really like here!
This danish dinner is probably the most typical. Itscalled Frikadelle (frag-a-della) and is pretty much meatballs. You have it most commonly with mashed tatties, beans or some brocolli and brown sauce (gravy).
For every dinner time, we eat as a family by setting things out on the table and its normally a smorgers board of food, so you just take what you want and then start eating! There aren't many dinner table rules, e.g you dont wait for everyone to sit down you just start and you dont have to ask permission to leave the table you just do. Also I'm not sure if you guys know this or not but there is no translation for please. The danes simply just dont use it. This took a little bit of getting used to especially when my 7 year old sister is wanting food she would simply say I'm hungry I want... or get me... And its not considered rude its just the way its done. Pretty crazy to get used to, but in my first host family, they told me I had really good etiqute and they were going to try and be more polite. It made me pretty proud that they wanted to learn more things etc, But they were already lovely!
People here are very upfront and dont often hold back from telling you things. If theres a problem or if somethings wrong or something bad / good is happening they will openly tell you about it. There isn't much secrecy which is nice!
Danes are also very very open to sex. Its a commnly disccused topic and its 'normal' for people to have boyfriends over to stay as young as 15. Its very accepted into society and normal. Also the drinking age is young. Boys and girls generally start at the age of 14 and go to parties with alcohol their parents have supplied for them. BEER is the biggest thing here. I remember a few weekends ago I went to a bar at around 3pm (not to drink just to meet some friends) and there were people already drunk and planning on doing body tequilla shots. CRAZY! And that is considered normal. They really know how to party the danes, being one of the countries with the highest alcohol consumption, they go all night! I remember my sister once went out at around 6pm and ws back at 10am the next morning. In saying this though, they (denmark) really do know how to look after their people. They have one of the highest tax rates, but therefore dont pay for school, university, hospital/doctors fees, If you become unemployed the government will give you money until you get a new job and as of 18 years the government will pay you a small salary for living at home. They really are well looked after and i'd say 99% of people have homes and schooling and jobs etc. So its an interesting country I do think. Its almost like putting black and white together and we'll they've I guess made grey and are happy with it. It really does work well for people here and everyone is well looked after. Their shit really is together and I think alot of contries can look at this and have a think and compare with some of their priorities. In saying all this though, you cant get a license until your 18, and alot of children have big responsibilites thrust apon them at a young age. Its all a matter of opinion, but statistically Denmark has it pretty sorted. ¨
Hope that one day you get to come and visit and let me in on your interpretations of it!
Hers some more danish things:
Hope this is a little interesting!
I'll take HEAPS of piccys of Belgium to fill you in on my crazy adventure there
Much love and peace to you all

Fantastic friends
I honestly am so blessed to have the best friends and connections with people in the world.
Yesterday I met a girl in town, who I had only met once before briefly. We went around Herning looked at some shops then got lunch. It took I'd say 10mins of us being together before we were chatting away like best friends, telling each other our life stories and discussing philosophy and interpretations of the world. Honestly I am so amazed at how two people just connect at such an intense level so quickly its almost indescribable. Also the fact that Its almost too coincidental to be real, to both come to the same city in the same country and attend the same language school, when were from different ends of the world. I honestly wonder how life works. Everyone has a story, everyone has skeletons in their closets and out of the 6 billion people in the world you will only ever know 100 people max closely enough to hear their stories and share yours and become connected on a deeper level. that's 0.000001666666666666666666% of the population. So I always think its magic to find people you do that with in the most queer of incidents. Life is fantastic.
So this weekend has been a goody for sure!
Today me and my sisters just goofed off playing army, and football. Was great fun and I love them heaps!
Uni apps are open and i am just SO excited i can barely contain myself! I'm thinking positively without any doubt in my mind and what happens is meant to be! I will get there eventually! my tickets are all booked for Belgium! Totally over the moon about that!!!! Although karameas a bit of a dozy when it comes to plans so we'll see were I end up hehe <3 And next weekend is the school fest and this guy i met at this bar is going to be there so we'll see what happens ...
Hope you had the best weekend
lots of love

Hump Day... hehe
Well I don't know how but this week is slipping by so fast, I can barely get in a breath!
Good news on the bike outcome! They got insurance and so my sister ended up with a new bike which is awesome for her! I think she's really happy about that! So in a strange way it was a blessing in disguise. Hmm maybe every cloud does have a silver lining after all....
Today I have language school after real school so i don't get home until about 6pm Its a long day and I'm going to be so tired.I should probably go for a run too! Got to get motivated.
My application has finally bee n completed for halls of residence so I'm totally over the moon about that! really really really am hoping i get in more then anything!
Things are starting to look up!
Okay so i know its cliched but its brill and a classic for days like these, because well its the truth!
