I did eat the digestive but I haven't burped yet. I decided to go ahead and do this one.

IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS! Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, and things. Nothing made up! Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same first initial. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question.But wait! There's more!

New Year's in Denmark

Ever New Year's in Denmark, the queen gives a speech at 5:30. So any decent New Year's party has to begin in time for everyone to be seated with a drink in hand before the speech. Martin's party was no different.

I understood slightly more of this year's speech than last year's, but I was still basically lost. I did notice when the queen accidently said 2006 instead of 2007. After the speech, the cameras show you several men in bearskin hats and fancy uniforms as they march around and do things with swords. One guy walked over to a flag (a Danish flag with the queen's monogram on it), tied a cord around it, spent some time making sure the monogram was nice and visible, and then moved it a few yards. After that, all the bearskin guys marched into a building and the doors were shut behind them. At this point, we had a toast.
But wait! There's more!
