Dansk liv: et brev fra Støvring

My name is [NAVN A] and I live in a small town about 20 km from Aalborg, named Støvring.

In Støvring we have two schools, one called Bavnebakken and one called Karensminde. I go to Karensminde, where you start next term.

At my school we have three lines. One for the children who goes from 0 to 3th grade, one for the children who goes from 4th to 6th grade and one for the children who goes from 7th to 9th grade.

You can’t go to 10th grade on Karensminde, but you can at the Bavnebakke school.

The school also has a spare time offer called “Søhulen” for the youngest children up to the 4th grade.

In my spare time I go to handball. But beside playing handball you can also play football, tennis, swimming, badminton, self-defense and a lot more in Støvring.

We have started to go to parties, either private parties or even something that we call "Halbal". In Denmark you must be 16 in order to be allowed to buy alcohol, in USA you must be 21 before, so there is very big difference on when you may buy alcohol in Denmark and in USA. I may taste alcohol for my parent.
