Bon-Vouage!

Well people this is my last day in Denmark for at least a week. Tomorrow morning i leave for Oslo Norway at 6:30am in the morning! Ahhh! Well it okay. My agenda for the next week is Oslo..then Stockholm..then Lund and finally Malmo! So won't be around for a while, so tell you all about it later! :)

Danish class over..

Well people looks like that was my final day of danish class! Took part 1 of 2 of my danish test. It was interesting. The listening section was pretty tough, couldn't understand what they were saying half the time, so just gave it my best shot. Can't ask more than that right? Saw District 9 today in a theatre that is bigger than the IMAX theatres in the US, it was a really good theatre. For a movie that had a limited budget it was a really good movie. I loved the hidden meanings in the movie the most, they really were trying to tell you a few things about us and the people around us. I also saw the Avatar trailer. I watched it like 3 times yesterday...but seeing it on that huge screen with something like 30 speakers surrounding me...i was speachless. I literally was stunned into a state of shock i was so impressed.
It should be interesting coming back home though. This whole summer i have been wearing jackets, sweaters, and pants. Im going to be coming back to a world in which no shirts and shorts are a must. In fact i think the whole time here the highest its ever been is probably 85-90 for like 3 days. haha. The rest of the days have been little cloudy, windy and like 65-80 degrees. But come to think of it im glad i didn't have to deal with all that hot weather, cause it kinda kills me slowly while im there cause i don't think my body vents heat well.
Well hope all are good and having a splendid summer!

A Day of Misery

So this week has been interesting. There have been these Iraqi refugees that have been in Copenhagen for a while. Denmark hasn't given them asylum and the refugees don't want to go back since it is still too dangerous. A local church has given them asylum and allowed them to stay there while the danish gov gets there act together. Well the other night the police broke in at like 1am and seized everyone in a mass eviction. From what i heard they used dogs, batons, pepper spray to keep back protestors. Heard they seized all the men, but lots of the women and children ran and went into the city to hide. There have been protests in the city for the past few nights denouncing such a heavy handed move.
So next on my shit list is that this morning was like the worst morning of my life. One i have like an eye iritation, which means my eyes are blood shot and it looks like i have been smoking weed or sumtin. Two, i threw up 5 times this morning cause i think i got food poisoning either last night or this morning. Three, phone ran out of minutes so i could call eric or anyone else for help. Four, had to skip school cause i felt so sick. It came down to this one period when i was near toilet sick and my texts were being denied sending...i was just about to cry. Worst morning ever.

On my minda Today

So i got done with school today and a bunch of my compadres went down to the harbor beach to hang out. I kinda wanted to be alone for a little while so i put in my headphones, hopped on a bike and took a ride around the city. While on my bike i was just pondering about some random stuff.


First off i was thinking about Disneyland. :) Haha, i know...all the way in Denmark and im thinking about a place that is only like 15 minutes down the street from my home. But when i think of that place there is nothing i can do but smile and turn into a little kid all over again. Just gotta love that place. So on my to do list when i get back...go to Disneyland...get ice cream on Main Street at midnight, and go on all my favorite roller coasters!


Second i was just thinking about my dogs. I know when they see me all they probably think is "play" "buddy" "must scratch and bother" haha, but i do truly miss a friendly animal by my side here. There are plenty of the human kind here, but no dogs who know im home when all i have done is open the door to the car from across the street.


Third i was thinking about all books and movies i have to catch up on now. Here in Denmark it is hard to get my hands on english books i want to read. Ran out of books to read about 2 weeks ago, and its the one thing that actually helps me to go to sleep, so yea. Movies...well yea. I just want to watch "A Time Travelers Wife", "My Sisters Keeper", "Transformers 2", and a bunch of others, either caues i read the books or i just plain think they are bad ass.


Last but not least i just kinda miss my family, the So.Cal sun, and ability to relax all day and have no agenda or plans.

Okay..thats about it. Tak for Dag!
P.s. Disneyland...(drool)

Nightly Thought

SO i was biking back to Signal Huset (my apartment on the island of Alma) from taco night with some friends and i looked up at the stars. I know i am quite far from home but it still does not change the fact that when i look up at those stars i was still awestruck. From where i was riding there were alot, but if you have ever been in the middle of nowhere then you would understand my statement of how magnificient the sky can truely look. Beside the point, just looking at those stars made me think about how fascinating the universe is. The short stick on the fact is i often think about things and just never tell them. In fact a person may be talking to me, but rather i am thinking about some extreme in the world, or random event, only pretending to pay attention to that person. Back to the fact...the universe is the one thing that never ruins my day. I look at it and just try to on a scale i can understand the beauty and perfection it represents. To me, it represents the unknown...the amazing...perfection....infinite...beauty...and the all knowing. Just looking at a few stars amazes me. Those images i am seeing are million...billions of years old. Most of those stars for all i know may have already blown up into star dust...on there own journey to produce more stars, or even better...life. We are all made of star dust, hell our planet is made of some star dust. So if you want you can actual think of the universe as its own creator and life cycle. Destroying itself, and giving birth to itself over the finite period it has existed. If you ever have a chance i would suggest looking up at the stars. For me it personally helps me think clearly and allows me to let myself go. For you...well thats a discovery you'll have to make on your own journey.

What a week

Hey guys!
Well my vacation week is now at an end. Left last saturday and went to Berlin till wed. That was quite the experience. Before i got there i was thinking that i was goin to experince another Copenhagen with some style and new sights. I was quite taken back once we got there and started to explore and see the sites. I came to realize that this was a city that had not seen peace in the last 500 years for more than a moment of time. Ill post some of the pictures later tomorrow so you can see what i mean. I saw a jewish memorial that had over 1000 stone pillars. Walked through them and was quite shocked. There are memorials all over the city toward those affected by the holocaust. It is suppose to be a symbol of never forgetting what there country once did. A daily reminder to fight against prejudice and oppression. Seeing the berlin wall was also something. In real life it is not some huge wall. Its probably 12 ft high, but yet it seperated families, friends, and loved ones for over 26 years. There were numerous pictures of the soviets and americans facing off at checkpoint charlie, which made one realize that germany has just begun to rebuild itself after the devastation of WW2 and the Cold War.
Next went to Prague from wed to friday. This is just about the most beautiful city i have ever visited. There were buildings and statues that were build over 1000 years ago. My country was not even an idea yet, yet prague was a flourishing city of growth and prosperity. This last saturday was also pretty interesting, Copenhagen had its annual Gay Pride week which ended on saturday with a huge concert and parade. The parade was really roudy and jolly followed by the concert which was excellent; having some of the biggest danish bands; Faggit Ferrys and Medina (Kun for mig!!)
Well hope everyone is well and its not too hot in So. Cal!!! Time for bed for me, have school tomorrow =(
