Hej and hello there!
I have to get better at keeping this thing updated... I swear every American here has a blog and posts every day. My bad :( Anywho, Denmark is fabulous and as wonderful as ever. The weather has been so nice (pretty hot and sunny actually) yet I am the ONLY one wearing a dress in the city. Apparently Danish style sticks to a pretty strict set of items. Scarf, boots, coat, and tights or pants. Shouldn't they be wearing their summer clothes for as long as possible? Totally stumped.
I have been having the time of my life! The city is absolutely gorgeous (I will take more pictures over the weekend), and the longer I've been here, the better life has been treating me.
I went to Christiana today which is such a cool place it is too difficult to describe. It is a hippy commune where they build their own houses, don't pay taxes, and all work very practical jobs like being a blacksmith or a carpenter. They consider themselves their own city and they have their own flag. They also sell hash openly in their marketplace. Now, Copenhagen is not Amsterdam so it is odd that this can go on, but the police really don't like confrontation (haha, so Denmark) so it seems to be okay. Here is a link for more info (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaau_-eD63g) , and I will take more pictures this weekend. It is so beautiful and creative.
OH! I went to Tivoli this past weekend! It is such a cool theme park in the middle of Copenhagen. It is said that Walt Disney got his inspiration for Disneyland from lovely little Tivoli :) My friends and I had such an awesome time and alcohol wasn't even involved! Though you can drink anywhere inside (contrary to Disneyland's rules haha). These pictures are from our Tivoli adventure.
Much love everyone! Hej hej ves ses! (bye bye, see you later!)
