A few observations...

Hej again, faithful followers! I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on this blog... I'm glad people are actually reading it!

Right now I'm just trying to kill the awkward hour between classes, that at Gettysburg usually means walking back to my room & taking a nap... but yeah, that's not really possible here.



A few things I've noticed over the past couple days:

- Parachute pants are not just for MC Hammer. This is a trend I am determined to bring back to the U.S.

- You are more likely to get hit by a bike than by a car in Copenhagen. I´ve seen it happen.

- Addictions are worse for your bank account than they are for your health. Cigarettes, alcohol, and my personal vice; caffeine, are all insanely expensive. I´ve been trying to cut the coffee habit now that I am without my one dollar 16 oz. from Bullet Hole... but today it was necessary. I had to resort to a "latte" from 7-11 since they really only serve espresso here. I know I'm a snob, but it tasted like warm water. Never again.

- You can turn in recycled bottles (somewhere??) for cash. I´ve been seeing lots of people digging through trash cans and pulling out bottles. It's kind of gross, but at the rate I'm going I might have to join the club soon.

- People do not sweat. Okay, maybe with the exception of my Healthcare in Northern Europe professor... the Danes are remarkably dry after the long bike ride to work. I mean, I know I have my own issues, but the other runners at Damhussøen lake look at my soaked t-shirt like I´m from another planet. I practically am, after all.


Still have a little time left, so I´m going to start working on some postcards. Start checking your mailboxes in the next week :)
