Off the Beaten Track
Oct 3, 2006 (25 photos)

... My first full day in Denmark I didn't even go into Copenhagen until evening time. Instead I spent it in the suburb of Hillerød. It's a small place, an hour by train from Copenhagen so it's not exactly on most tourist paths. I felt pretty confident that when ...

Back home
Jan 11, 2007

Back in Denmark again, and it is wonderful, I was getting a little tired of Beijing. But this will only be a short entry because I'm writting on my old laptop, which is a little hard to use. Thanks for all your mail and encouraging words along the way.

Enjoying being home again

... to Arendse and some other of my classmates then at at Starbucks for a while writing and at last boarding my day flight back to Denmark. I don't like long-haul day flights, night and day gets all mixed up, but I got a little rest.   So what's next? ...

Not flying alone after all

... out that there is another boarding the ship the same time as me, and because she hasn't got a lot of time here in Denmark, she's studying to become an actress or something at school with quite a few pupils and only one computer, she asked if it was okay ...

Only three days left
Aug 7, 2007

Only three days 'till I leave, and I'm sooo excited and a little nervous, since my passport is still at the American Embassy... The ship I'll be boarding is the good ship Rosalina, she a little more than 60 feet, with two masts. You can visit her at her ...

Så er det nu
Jun 27, 2006

Så...nu er det endelig blevet tid. Var på arbejde for sidste gang i et godt stykke tid i søndags, og det var faktisk ret hyggeligt, skønt det var noget varmt. Lørdag fik jeg besøg fra Norge, det var min veninde Inga, som jeg mødte i Kina, da vi begge var på ...

Back home
Jan 11, 2007

Back home again after 2 month of holiday and 4½ month of studying. The two month of holiday was undoubtedly the most interresting, Australia last year was amazing, but this surpassed it - by lengths. But more about that later, now I just want to go to bed, ...

The time is getting closer
Jul 31, 2007

Mathilde and I met up on Sunday to talk about what, how, how much and all those practicalities. Nice having someone to discuss it with. Originally we were supposed come home on September 20th, but something with the carrier changed so now we have to wait ...

Også helt hjemme
Sep 25, 2007

Jeg havde jo glædet mig til at komme hjem til Fars mad, men han nåede kun lige at køre min Mor og jeg hjem inden han skulle med taxa ud til lufthavnen igen og flyve til Skt. Petersborg med arbejdet.

Looking forward to summer
Feb 7, 2006

Well, I know that there is quite sometime before I'm going on summer holiday, but the weather today just made me long for it even more. In the morning we had snow, but in the late afternoon it turned to rain, which made virtually every square inch into ...

Well, it's now well past the 27th of May, and there is therefore less than a month to my departure. It's gonna be great. On Friday last week I went in to pay the remainder of my insurrance, so now I'm all set...well more or less, because it's really hard ...

Tuvalu for beginners
Apr 20, 2007

Too-vah-looh - well that's how your pronounce the name of this tiny Pacific Country. Tuvalu consists of five atolls and four islands, the biggest atoll is Funafuti Atoll, which is also the capital of Tuvalu. These nine dry spots of land are spread out ...

Fredericksborg Castle
Sep 3, 2007 (31 photos)

Today I went to the suburb of Hillerod to see Fredericksborg Castle.  Basically none of the castle is original.  Thanks to the overabundance and use of wood, things tend to burn down a lot in Denmark and this castle did back in the 1700s (?).& ...

Every morning at 5.40 am when I ride past this lake I marvel at the beauty of the sunrise, and every morning I forget to bring a camera, but this morning I remembered, and it was pretty.

It should be spring now
Mar 23, 2006 (6 photos)

I like snow, and for about three month a year I love it; that white stuff is just amazing, it's beautiful, it's fun to play in and it lightens up the dark winterdays. But now it's just starting to be too much. We are now approaching the end of March, the ...

And the weather is still fine

There is too much water
Jul 7, 2007 (7 photos)

I had never expected to see this much water in Denmark.On my way to work yesterday I sorta fell into the water because it was knee deep. The lake, which would only count for a pond in many other countries, had flooded the bike trail, but I realised ...
