Ting / Stuff

Der er mange sjove ting at kigge på her i USA. Selvfølgelig, fordi kulturen er anderledes, men nogle ting er de samme. Bare på en anderledes måde.
F.eks. at det snart er påske, og butikkerne går amok i påskeslik og påskepynt. Det er jo meget som i Danmark. Selv om man nok ikke finder et påske-æg-fad som dette i Danmark!

There are plenty of fun stuff to look at here in the US. Of course the culture is different, but some things are the same. Just in a different way.
For instance, Easter is coming up soon, and the shops are booming with Easter-candy and decorations. That's a lot like Denmark, although I don't think you can by an Easter-egg-plate like this in Denmark!

Dette brætspil var også lidt ud over det sædvanlige. Jeg tvivler på, at jeg kunne få andre end nogle med en ret morbid humor til at spille med mig og redde menneskeheden fra en verdensomspændende epidemi!

This board-game was a bit unusual as well. I doubt that I would be able to have other than a few people with a rather morbid humor play with me, saving humanity from a pandemic!

Denne bog var usædvanligt praktisk. Ikke så meget pjat med at finde den rigtige kæreste. Bare strik ham! Størrelsen var også god, så han kunne praktisk nok lægges i en æske, hvis han blev for bøvlet.

This book was extremely practical. Avoid all the fuss about finding the right boyfriend. Just knit him! The size was very handy as well. He can be placed in a box if he makes too much trouble. 

Dette billede så jeg i går. Overvejede at købe det til min søster, der har fødselsdag i dag. Mon ikke hun ville ÆLSKE det?
Eller ikke.
Jeg havde faktisk også allerede købt gaver, så der var "desværre" ikke behov for flere.

I saw this picture yesterday. Thought about buying it for my sister, who is celebrating her birthday today. I'm sure she would LUUVE it!
Or not.
Actually, already I bought the presents, so "unfortunately", I didn't need another.

En af gaverne var (selvfølgelig) strømper. Begge strømper er strikket på vej herover i flyet. De var så hurtige, fordi det er på pind 3, og desuden er det de mest simple strømper jeg har strikket meget, meget længe. Rib i skaftet og resten i glat. 115 gram. De er vildt dejlige at have på!

On the presents was socks (of course). Both socks were done on the way over here. They were really fast, since I used 3 mm needles, and they were also the simplest socks I made for a very, very long time. Ribbing for the leg, stocking stitch for the foot. A total of 115 grams and great to wear!

Det er vildt hyggeligt at være her til fødselsdag! Der var den helt store kamp blandt børnene om at hjælpe med at pynte kagekone til hendes arbejde. Niecen fik lov at flette hår, mens nevøen hjalp med at pynte. Den blev flot!
Gaven til min søster var omhyggeligt medbragt fra Danmark. 2 kopper fra Maren.
De blev godt modtaget!

It is so nice being here for the birthday! The kids were very eager to get to help putting candy on the birthday-cake-lady for her work. My niece got to make the braids, and my nephew helped decorating. It ended up very nice!
The present for my sister was brought from Denmark. Two cups from Maren.
They were well received!
