Torvehallerne KBH market

One of THREE cheese stands in Torvehallerne <3

This could totally qualify as a #puddlegram. 

Breakfast. Everyday.

it's too late for first impressions

I totally meant to make a first impressions post, but I forgot.
Ergo, I made a list instead.

1. Copenhagen is so clean.
2. Even I (who knows nothing about anything) can tell that the architecture here is unreal/too amazing.
3. Apparently in Denmark they sell slices of chocolate for bread. Think cheese slices, but chocolate.
4. Tofu comes in jars.
5. Hej (pronounced "hi") means hello and hej-hej (pronounced "hi-hi") means bye.
6. Never leave your house without proper rain gear; even if it looks deceivingly sunny.
7. Garbage is separated into 8 categories and CCTV makes sure you separate them correctly.
8. It is quite difficult to walk long distances on cobblestone.
9. Pastries are amazing and readily available everywhere (including 7-11).
10. The beautiful Danish people rumor was not false.
11. 24-hour conductor-less metro might be the best thing here.
12. I have already had 2 near death collisions with bike traffic.
13. Everybody waits behind the curb at a pedestrian red light.
14. I have already violated the j-walking law in front of the police (old habits die hard).
15. My clothes will always smell like cigarettes at the end of the day. Unavoidable.
16. Laundry machines dispense their own detergent and softener.

I'll continue this list later.

slut = end

I made it through the first day!
Actually, JK. I woke up before midnight and started writing this, so the day is not over.

Highlights of the Day:

My bed sheets were labeled "tween", which I guess means the same thing in Danish as it does in English because they have multi colored hearts printed on them.

The USD to DKK conversion is too confusing for me to calculate in my head. I predict that I will be broke all too soon.

I had to buy plastic bags for my groceries. #SavePlanetEarth

I live right by a national park!

"I don't mean to cause panic, but NEVER walk in the park alone at night because *whispers* there have been rapes and murders..."

Pizza is UNIVERSAL (I had pizza for dinner).

My RA just posted "slut!" in our Facebook group, and google translate tells me it means "end".

How does one pronounce Kollegium like a Dane?

There's only a week left before I fly out to spend 5 months in a new country.

OH MY SHIT how do i pack for this?

My kollegium (the dorm-y thing I have been assigned to live in) is on an island.
I'd basically be stranded alone on an island. But, hey! At least it looks really cool on Google Earth!
