På jagt efter ting i Herning og Lyngby ... Scavenger Hunt in Herning & Lyngby

Min veninde, Nichole, havde en FORBLØFFENDE idé med at hjælpe mig at lære om mit nye hjem i Herning-- En Foto Jagt! Nichole, hendes mand, Michael, Mads og jeg skrev hver fem ting på vores list at give os 20 ting at lede efter! Vi har kun 1 regel--Vi må tage et billede når vi finde tinge i vores by! Her er hvad vi fandt:

My girlfriend, Nichole, had an AMAZING idea to help me learning about my new home in Herning--A Photo Scavenger Hunt! Nichole, her husband Michael, Mads and I each wrote five things on our list to give us 20 things to look for! We had only 1 rule--We
must take a picture when we find the things in our town! Here is what we found:








Nichole er vinderne af "Jagt #1" fordi hun fandt alle, undtagen 2 ting (her er hjemmeside med hendes billeder).... Mens jeg fandt alle, undtagen 3 ting. Dog, jeg føler ligesom jeg vandt fordi Mads og jeg udforskede mange pladser i Herning kigger for min list! Nu er vi klar at begynder vores næste jagt!

Nichole is the winner of "Hunt #1" because she found all of them, except 2 things (here is the link with her photos) ...While I found all of them, except 3 things. However, I feel as if I won because Mads and I explored many places in Herning looking for my list! Now we are ready to begin our next hunt!

What a fantastic idea! It looks like you all had a lot of fun. My friend Mindy and I do this sorta thing a lot. Mindy is the crazy mom from Chicago that I do all my Ten Tenor adventures with. Before we'll go out for a night, we'll make predictions (and have a contest to see who has the most accurate predictions) or have a secret list of things we have to look for, etc. Maybe you could have all your blog friends each give you two items for your next hunt.

I LOVE the idea of blog friends offering suggestions for our next list! I will talk to Nichole about it today and we will come up with a plan..

and yes, oh wise sister of mine, my Danish flag TAT is what inspired me to choose that one... and then it bit me in the butt because I could not find one!! LOL The other rule I forgot to mention...you cannot use things in your own home...lol

We should keep the tandum bike on the list but make it an extra bonus...:)

i think morke is the only place in denmark with a tandem bike :) i love the idea of a scavenger hunt! Good on you guys!

Great idea w/ the scavenger hunt... and I look fwd to helping out when your Blog Friends are invited to assist in the next one.

Maybe we could have a Denmark vs US Scavenger hunt of some sort - prob more coordination of teams involved on both sides for this tho... but Kelli is proof anything is possible with Denmark and US :-)

I especially liked the picture of the bike at the back of a building as most likely to be stolen in US. I remember being so paranoid at first in Cph when I left my bike anywhere with just the simple turn of the key to lock my wheel.

Some suggestions for your next scavenger hunt:

Prostitute or someone dressed like one
Magazine/newspaper with a major American story on the cover-- Obama, Bush, the war, gas, etc.
Stained glass windows (do they have those in DK?)
A mullet
Bike basket that's been decorated... streamers, ribbons, flowers?
T-shirt of an American band (quadruple bonus points if it's Journey, Styx, .38 Special, REO Speedwagon, or Boston!)

Super cute idea. I love all the photos. Thanks for the E-mail. You had or will have no idea how much that means to me to "know" someone that has moved to Denmark. I have been crazy busy with wedding plans (eeek 23 days to go) but hopefully once I move over I'll be able to blog and write more. I love your graphics? Did you design them?
