First day in Denmark
So its Saturday night and my first day in denmark. I slept like a log last night, right until about 11pm, after which i went to Netto -- the local cheap supermarket -- to get food for the weekend. Mike can't survive without food. Even crappy food costs alot in Denmark, so just bought the survival essentials to keep me going until i figure out the place. Everything here is pre-packed and there isnt such a big choice... i'm already missing Smart supermarket.
Armed with my trusty map of Greater Copenhagen, i then went for a walk to figure out where i live. There's snow everywhere from the night before. In big clumps by the roadside, in neat rows on each side of the bike lane, against the wall near the pavement, and allover the grassy parks. Most shops were closed, but i was able to pinpoint the most important outlets: barber, grocer, pharmacy, bus stop, Dominic's Pizzeria, travel agency, cheap booze shop.
Copenhagen is written Kobenhavn and pronounced 'Koobfenhawn' or something like that. These people speak funny.
My apartment is really nice. Its one out of a few hundred rooms in this brand new student dorm, only 8 months old, called Industrial Colleggiem or something. Construction is of thick wooden beams and concrete walls and floors all throughout, and plenty of glass from floor to ceiling to let in as much light as possible. Quite neat actually, and looks very modern. The room actually belongs to this girl, Isa Damgaard, but she's abroad and sub-letting it to me until she returns in April, so its nice and comfy since its been lived in. I've got a real comfy wide bed, a TV with English and Danish channels and enough porno to keep me entertained for awhile, a telephone, desk, heater, loads of shelving, internet, a bathroom and some real nifty lighting. I'm sharing a kitchen with the other rooms on my floor, about 8 people, and a nice big steel kitchen equipped with fridges and freezers and microwaves and ovens and all a gourmet like me needs to survive. There's also a communal lounge area with big puffy armchairs and TV/Playstation (yay).
