A new beginning

Hello peeps :p

Before I was writing on the blog: anewcontinenttoexplore.blogspot.dk with AB and Helena when we were in New York. But now I write my own blog, 'cus that was a lot easier.  

I’ll tell you about my trip to Washington DC with the half of my class (the half who have Spanish like me). The other half, those who have French, are in Quebec now. 

Today was the last day in New York. I’m looking pretty much forward to move to Washington DC and live at a real hotel and not just a hostel. I feel, too, that I've seen enough of New York. And the fact that I've spent almost all my money on shopping and nasty deep-fried food does that I'm looking even more forward to move. Or… I've only got fried food the first day here in NYC and at lunch today. 

Another thing is that I’m looking forward to come home to DK because of the ecology and the least expensive food. And the air! I miss the clean(er) Danish air sooooo much. The air over here is itching my throat all over.

But now to the part, where I tell you, what my class and I have been doing all day: We started like any other day here in NYC (at 9:30 am). At first the teachers lead us in the wrong direction. But that was okay, 'cus it was early in the morning ;) And after a bit of studying the map, my teachers found the correct subway to go to, so we could get to El museo del Barrio (The neighborhood’s museum).
When we arrived at the museum, the first you saw in there was a very scary "doll". A doll which should price the dead. But it was after all a very interesting museum with a lot of different artworks; sculptures, paintings, photos, movies etc.. The artworks were all about the Latinos and their history and living. In my Spanish class we have all read a lot about the Latinos, so it was very interesting to see it close in paintings and photographs and experience it in a way with all the sculptures, sounds and impressions (impressions from the artworks ofc).
The guide at the museum was very very sweet, like almost everyone here in NYC. The people over here aren't afraid of saying “you are beautiful” or ask “where have you bought that dress” or something like that at all. And I love the way that they're using the word please in almost every sentence! It’s so polite and kinda cute :) and I think it shows much respect for other people, especially when they say "excuse me please" when they just wanna pass somebody. I like the way that they are saying hello to each other too. Almost everyone here says: “Hello, how are you” where the other typical answer "I'm good thank you. How are you?", where we in DK just say “hi” and act kinda impolite compared to the New Yorkers. I really want to take this politeness with me to DK (if I could....).

Yesterday Petrea, Kristine (from the French part of my class) and I sat on the street and talked with a homeless man who had a sign “I’ll speak with you about anything for free” or something like that. We had passed him a couple of times and Petrea had always wanted to talk with him for fun 'cus he didn't look disgusting or mean at all. And when we sat there at talked to him he said that he hated America and would like to move to DK if he had the chance 'cus here in the U.S. you don’t get an education for free like in DK. Us girls, we think that he was VERY smart and knew a whole lot of things. So if he had the money to be educated, he would probably be pretty successful. But maybe he was too lazy to do that? Hmm. I don't know. All I know is that he was very sweet to talk to :)

Now to something else :) I have spent my day, today, with a whole lot of shopping with Sabrina, Emma, Michelle, Kamilla and Anne. I had a lot of fun with'em. After a little walk in the central park, we were out seeing the building where the kinda live in the TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Afterwards we went out shopping. 
At dinnertime we went to the restaurant named Ruby Tuesday where i had this "healthy" salad and the most wonderful non alcoholic drink ever!!! Mmmmmmh. I had like three big glasses because of the free refill. Teehee. 

But it's late now, and I think I’ll go to sleep. We’re heading to Washington tomorrow at 6 am! Baaah :b So early..... Nighty night peeps!

PS: I have uploaded a picture at me and Petrea, who had a lot of fun at my birthday with some glowing in the dark nailpolish.
PSS: We met the real Snoop Dogg (!!!!!). Here's a pic of him and Milica.
