danes

Yesterday four Danish friends came to visit- one of them, Jasper, is a bartender at the airport, and that's where he met one of our students. He came with some really awesome people- a beautiful loving couple and a vibrant youth, Casper. They stopped at the Carlsberg factory in Copenhagen and got two cases (60 beers) for a fun saturday night. We walked to the supermarket to turn in all our recycling and got 35 crowns back! That's almost six dollars, so we bought chips with it for snacking. By the time we were going to head out to a bar some of the students had been frequenting, Herkules, the busses had stopped running, so we walked! I got to ride on the back of Ashley's bike for part of the trip, thank god. What a fun night! I met the Danes, a few new Swedes, two Armenian guys who I had very little language in common with (tiny amounts of Swedish and twice-translated French) and we have invitations to visit some new places, like the town near Copenhagen where Casper is from.

Now it's July! I expect a lot from this month, including some fun at the dinner party we're having on tuesday for my birthday! Veggie lasagne and salad, plus berries and brownies with (soy) ice cream- yum yum. I am in love with my dormmates; we are turning into quite a little family. Last year's birthday in India was pretty fun, minus the illness that kept me from my party- but I ate a lot of ice cream, even though I was sick. I wonder what country I will be in for next year?

yay! feeling more chipper today, even though I am a bit behind on my readings (thus I am blogging. *sigh*) here come more great times!
