It started with a plane ride. We flew all day...just to start another day. We left Amarillo at 7:30 am....and when it was 11:00pm in our brains when we arrived @ Copenhagen. Sadly it was 7:30am the next day in Copenhagen. Aye, Aye, Aye. Talk about jet lag.
My first impression of Copenhagen was that I had landed in the wrong country and was smack dab in the middle of communist Russia. Buildings by the airport were run down and starkly modern. I was truly worried.
When we got back to our little home sweet home, we quickly learned that the danish kollegium bathroom is a scary thing. I don't really know how to describe it, besides that there is just an extension of the sink that constitutes a shower, and the sink, shower, and toilet all drain into a mysterious hole in the floor. Oh the terror.
Oh and lastly...the worthlessness of the dollar is truly horrifying.
Now that I've got all the negative out of the way...it really is amazing here. The buildings from the medieval period are gorgeous. Its awesome to walk down a street older than your country. We had an awesome tour guide today that knew EVERYTHING about the city. His name was Anders and I love him.
Everything is so different. Haven't really figured food out yet. There is an unnatural amount of Indian food restaurants. I think its just going to be trial and error on that front. We do have a kitchen. A very strange socialist kitchen. We pay 50 Kr. every month to share it with 15 other people. It is stocked with spices and the like, but it appears less than sanitary. Theres a party in it on Saturday, so we will get to meet our floor mates and see how this place operates.
Other than that there really isn't much. Besides the fact that we have avoided "hostile" Danes thus far. Apparently they are around. I've noticed, though, Americans are loud and annoying. I'd be hostile too if they were always in my tiny happy country.
