you know you're in America when...

You know you're in America when the shop assistants walk around singing and just having fun while working - it just makes your day to visit stores with such people.
You know you're in America when everyone excuses themselves - even though they haven't done anything. 
You know you're in America when a stranger asks if Denmark has their own language, and last but not least you know you're in America when waitresses just start dancing when a certain song comes on!

We've been in USA for a bit over a week now, and we are slowly starting to realize that the Danish people are very reserved compared to the Americans. The Americans are just very outgoing!

This morning we - finally - had the chance to lie in. And if that doesn't make your day, then what will? A bit past 10 am, we took the bus to Georgetown. It's such a nice and colorful town with cute little houses. We walked down to Georgetown University where we got a guided tour around campus by a sophomore. It was very interesting to see a big university like this one and hear about what it's like to be a student there and all of their values at the school. But it also made you think about your own future, which we all have to make decisions about pretty soon :/ But all in all it gave an idea about what a university in the US is like - other than all the ones we have seen in movies ;-)

The small colorful houses - so cute!

Georgetown University - looks a bit like a castle

Afterwards we grabbed a quick lunch at a mexican restaurant nearby and went home. And for the first time in over a week we actually had several hours in our room to relax and write.

And there could hardly be any better way of spending our last night in the US than eating and having a good time at the Hard Rock Café! There were both great food and loud music. And again today we got a small performance from the waiters, which really created an atmosphere.

The waiters going crazy

Now we are enjoying the last night here in Washington DC and are slowly beginning to pack - it's going to be interesting if everything will fit into the suitcase :/ It will be good to get home, but on the other side it's also a bit sad thinking about leaving already..
