new refrigerator, some sunshine and a lot of chocolate

This week in denmark has been beautiful, the sun has been out all day, everyday. We are all trying to soak as much vitamin D up as possible before the sunshine leaves us. Since the weather is so nice, we decided to throw a BBQ at my apartment, we had around 20 people show up, bringing all sorts of foods. My friend Rebecca and I made the potato salad, it was yummy. I also proceeded to consume about 4 servings of guacamole (it was just so so so good). 

So i leave for London in a few days, that is guaranteed to be an epic trip. Traveling seems to be the only thing people do in this country. In one day, I booked tickets to both London and Italy for my short time in Denmark. A trip to amsterdam is also in the works, as well as one to spain. 

Other than that, life here is pretty calm. I love walking around the city, grabbing a coffee and people watching. I have been practicing my danish, we had an intensive one day course yesterday in which they locked us in this huge auditorium at the university and basically tried to cram as much information into our sleepy little heads as possible... for 6 hours. Most of the basic phrases are easy to pick up, but telling the time is a completely different story. Take the time 8:45 for instance, instead of just saying the numbers, this would be said as 15 before 9, over noon at 8... or something like that. 

Hope everything is just dandy back in the states!
