Spas and Schools

So I didn’t write for a week, because I had a week off yey me. Apparently the soldiers have fall break, so I did too, it’s a much different system then America’s.

Anyways, Signe and I went to her dad’s place for the week, and did a lot of nothing which was really good for both of us. I needed a break and so did she. Then over last weekend, Signe’s dad too us and her two sister’s to a wellness center for some extra relaxing. The place was essentially a giant water park for adults. It had 6 Jacuzzis, 3 saunas, 4 steam rooms, 2 pools, several different water fall rooms, Indian sweatboxes, which I thought were awesome. You have your own personal steam room with your head poking out the top so you can actually breath. It was so much fun to sit there, I also really liked the hot water bath, which was exactly what it sounds like.

But check it out, I learned how to put images up. those chairs were amazing too, they were heated so they toasted your buns to perfection. It was also good for my lower back. I also had the privilege of getting a massage, my second professional message of my life, and it still surprises me how fast 45 minutes can go. He barely got done with my back.

But alas, I couldn’t stay forever in paradise (or atleast Mr. Madsen wouldn’t pay for it) and I went home and started school, finally. I’ve had one class and it is quite fun. There are 12 of us from 10 countries. Allow me to list them. we have China, Japan, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Columbia, USA, and 3 from the Philippines. and only me and China are guys, most the rest married danish dudes. It’s kinda humbling to go around and say which languages we speak, since all of them know their language, English and some times a third, where I know English…. whatever. Our class is entirely in Danish which will probably get easier as it goes along, but at first really confused most of us. I was lucky enough to have picked up enough to follow along. But it’s also fun to see which regions of the world can’t pronounce certain sounds. We laughed a lot. But my first rant about the danish language, they have 9 vowels. 9. and some of them make more than one noise. A, E, I, O, U, Y, Æ, Ø, Å. And I can successfully pronounce 5 of them. Ø and Y are the roughest. I hear how it sounds, then I try to make the noise, but it doesn’t come out of my mouth.

Anywho I’ma get since I chopped off a good portion of my finger today cutting vegetables and I can’t type so well. I hope you all are going great, and I love you dearly.

Peace
