lot o pictures


I think this is the stage where everything seems exciting and picture-worthy; eventually, I'm sure things will start to seem ordinary. I don't even want to read on the the train yet, cause I don't want to miss anything.


Yesterday we had to go in teams on a scavenger hunt of the city, which took us all over. Here are some pictures along the way.

colorful buildings :)

A state-owned church (Lutheran). I think this is the one where the prince got married.
Danish graffiti. ha.

Beautiful cobblestones. I love how the light bounces off of them.
The iconic harbor. I had to take a pic.
Guards in front of the queen's house. She was there when we went. She should have come out to say hi. Unfortunately she thought the guards were warm enough welcome.
After the hunt (which we didn't finish. boo), I went to the architecture orientation. Apparently, I'm a mentor for a Pre-architecture student. I didn't sign up for it, but I think it will be fun. Here are all the arch kids.
This is in the city at only 5 pm! It gets dark so early now. It is suppose to be getting lighter a little more each day though.

I talked to Christie on skype!! You should get on so you can be on my blog too :) Aren't you jealous...? lol. Here's Christie lookin good...
I got some pics of the main floor of my house today! Here is the kitchen.

And a 'hygge' reading room off the kitchen. A funny story: my host mom said that she cleaned the piano and left the top closed on the keys afterwards. Her daughter told her she had to open it back up and set a piano book out because otherwise it didn't look 'hygge.'
This is the kitchen table where we have all our meals.
The kids always have bread with these pieces of chocolate on them for breakfast. I decided to try it today. It basically tastes like bread with chocolate on it. They have dark and milk chocolate. This is the dark.

I've been having bread with Nutella every day. Their Nutella is HUGE! ...the one thing that is bigger here than the US. haha. They love their nutella.
So you can see the size compared to my juice glass.....it means business.

I already feel like I'm getting worse at English. I am starting to Danish-atize it, when I talk to them...for some reason I feel like they will understand me better. Kinda like how I started talking in a Chinese accent when I went to China.

I have my first class tomorrow afternoon, so I will get to see what studio will be like again.... :\

  2. I have the exact same nutella jar! You should have put it next to a 1 cent €uro coin to make it look massive! Cobblestone streets are the coolest thing ever! And yes. We're along the German/Danish Longitude so we have early sunsets. Chocolate for breakfast is popular here too!

  3. Hey! Their house looks awesome! And it looks like you are having fun. It is funny. Some of your pictures look like they could have been taken in Prague. :) I miss you!
