Well, hey guys.
I'm in the Faroe Islands - Føroya to those of you in the know ... slash who read the title on my blog.
It is amazingly beautiful here. Windswept, rugged, and majestic in its own little way. I like it ... from our window we can see two islands in the bay of Tórshavn, Eysturoy and ... something else. Can't remember. But they're beautiful! I live on Streymoy, in Tórshavn, which is lovely. Small, but with everything you need - I'm within walking distance of the only mall in the Faroes, but I haven't been there yet. My school is also within walking distance, and it is very very nice. Two big buildings (yes Mahuians, that means NO MORE WALKING AROUND IN THE RAIN), but it doesn't matter because you stay in the one classroom all the time, and the teachers move. Not sure how that will work for science, but I'm in the science stream so hopefully my class will have bunsen burners and all.
My host family are GREAT. My host sister, Jóhanna, is teaching me Faroese (Føroysk) with post-it notes. My host mum, Kristinbjørg, is vice principal of my school, and my host dad, Magnus, is just generally great. He took Jóhanna and I shopping today, for a lamp and a rubbish bin for my room. Which is lovely! It has big orange butterflies that Jóhanna stencilled. The house is beautiful. the Faroes are amazing, the nightlife is apparently pumping, can't wait for my first Gymnasium Party!!! School starts on Monday ... hopefully next weekend I'll be recovering from a morning party!
Ah now I must say, under this blog there is a thing that say (#) acknowledgements. Those are comments, I changed the name. Please comment, or I shan't have any inspiration to write!
My arrivals camp ... o. So much fun. I loved it, really I did, and I miss my new AFS friends, especially the kiwis ...
There will be photos when I actually figure out how to navigate the PC in Danish! I promise.
Denmark is beautiful. I love it. Copenhagen is just amazing. The houses are so cute, ALL the buildings are cute, the place is perfect. Again, there will be photos!
Anyway, it's 12.35AM here so I will be heading off to bed. In the holidays, people seem to sleep until noon here, so this lateness of hour is quite acceptable. Interesting, really.
I miss NZ. Keep in touch, guys!
...Kelsy?
This would be me, then.

Hey!!
Good to hear you`re alive and loving it! I told you you would love orientation! School in Japan sounds much the same as in the Faroes, we stayed in the same class but went to the lab for science. Going home in two weeks, scary stuff. Anyhoo, this isn`t about me.... Good post, keep them up! Don`t do what I did and not post for 3 months oops!
