... job combing through all of the information there is on poverty and hunger. After an hour, we left the school we were at and moved to a different facility.

The mood of the cast changed almost instantaneously.

The room was dark and somber. It was the same room in which Paul Whitaker had presented his workshop the day before. There were pictures and quotations posted on tables and chairs.

"It would be nice if the poor ...

... honest, I'm still not sure about it! But I do know that, having done this great adventure, my life must make a difference. I must do something with purpose! I must continue to change the world for the better.

Otherwise, this experience was completely and utterly lost.

Denmark is a beautiful country and I adore the happy people here. After all, Denmark is the happiest country in the world!

We arrived in Kolding on Sunday night. Gosh. That was ...

... the birth of the nation of Denmark. Of course squeezed in LegoLand which is done very well. Folke Ferie house/bungalow in the beach woods at the Middelfart Kursus centre by the fiord overlooking the island of Faeno was very pleasant for kids to play & walk. Overall recommend this little country with a big heart to other travellers with children who want a piece of living history & a relaxed time.

Stayed in Aarhus as our sleep over stop, mainly becasue Billund has no hostels! Didn't do anything on our night there, as it had taken us about 8 hours to make it there from Berlin, many change overs on trains!

Went to Legoland on the second day. It was ace! Though many children running around, & they seem to think that Criel as an amazing city in Scotland. We eventually got water rides, something whcih we have been looking for since we started!

... and loved getting to see the miniature versions of important cities in Denmark (Copenhagen Harbor, the palace, etc) as well as other places such as Sweden, Hollywood, and the Statue of Liberty!  We went on variety or rides and had French Hotdogs for lunch.  I enjoyed all of the rides, especially the water one where I got wet!  My wholeback was soaked for at least another half an hour since I went down straightback.  It was an ...

... World the ride operators would tell you exactly which cart to be in and where to stand; after maneuvering through the lines at Legoland you got to pick where you wanted to be stationed for a ride. Being an American in this environment initially caused a little anxiety because I was used to being told where to wait, where to stand, and when to get on. At one point in the day we were in the front of the line and hesitated before strolling over ...

... until today when they move to their school accommodations. Thomas is here for 5 months so that he can improve his English. He's in marketing and he believes knowing proper English is a pre-requisite. His other choice was England but he said that there are so many French people there that he'd end up speaking French instead of English. He chose Denmark as it was a country he knew little about and they speak a lot of ...

17th August - 21st. Sunday Today we were having a Danish lunch. Lots of different things, pickled herring, liver pate with bacon, roast pork with cracking, fish balls, fish fillets, shrimp, chicken carry salads, salami and lots more and of course all kind of delicious chesses. I try to make Danish lunches at home, but they are never as good as the ones we get in Denmark, and Marianne always makes it look so easy. Søren had already done some ...

... Temperaturen udenfor terminalen var noget anerledes end dem jeg kom fra. Der var 19 grader og der faldt enkelte dråber. På vej hjem i bilen fortalte jeg en masse og da vi kom hjem, gik jeg direkte i seng. Da havde jeg været vågen i 22-23 timer. Man skulle tro at jeg så ville sove til langt op på næste dag, men nej. Jeg vågnede flere gange om morgenen og jeg tror den var 9, da jeg stod op.

Thursday 17th July Alison: After one change near the Denmark border, our train arrrived in Fredericia in the late afternoon where we received great welcomes in the train station from our Servas friends Gitta & Peter Lykkehus who we had last seen 10 years ago in Adelaide. I had been pregnant with Rachel back then and they had two gorgeous little girls and we had very much enjoyed their stay with us so it was great to see them again ...
