Best Western Hotel Djingis Khan Lund

having finished my papers and exams i flew to sweden to see a friend of mine from australia who was in his last few days on exchange in lund. i spent a few days in lund and a day in copenhagen. in this entry i'll cover sweden, in the next denmark. lund is in the southern part of sweden, so i flew into copenhagen. my day started pretty poorly. i 'woke' up at 4am to get a bus to the airport in order to be 2 hours early for my 7am ...

... the crowd in front of me - the sound was way more loud than the crowd outside my window, and besides, it was coming from the other side of the building, the side that I couldn't see. So of course I rush outside to our rooftop terrace for a better view. And what did my wondering eyes come to see? Well - apparently a large group of people were having a pretty serious looking disagreement of somesort - and were in the process of aggravating the ...

... in a while, I'll go ahead and get that". So a couple days later, after the mad rush of assignments I had due was essentially over, and I had time to waste on roasting root vegetables, I got on google and searched for "vegetable that looks like a purple carrot" so I could find out what it was before I cooked it. And guess what? Those suckers are f*ing purple carrots!!! Have you ever ...

... me borrow their books) Whatever. Online, I discover that the very nice cell phone people were wrong about the documents that I needed to have to get an ID card. Apparently I have to apply for a copy of an official document to bring with me to get the ID, but the website tells me that unfortunately the phone service and website where I can do this are all in Swedish, so I'll need one of my (as yet nonexistant) Swedish friends to be with me when I do ...

... a quarter past because otherwise "it wouldn't be fair to the students". *However, classes at Lund are not at all guaranteed to start at the same day, time, or place that they did they week before. In fact, as all new students come to find out, the times and location of classes are very likely to change through out the term, and it is up to the student to remain vigilant in discovering the updated information. For instance ...

... of wine or coffee with a friend. As Richard discussed why the Danes are so happy, some random guy from probably the UK or Australia yelled out "It's the women, mate!" Funny, but this definitely can't be the only criteria - otherwise Spaniards would rate off the charts in terms of happiness! Oh, Spain .... how I miss you ... all I can say is that any time I spend in Spain is marked by a feeling of happiness. And when the ...

... penalty I paid is spending 3 less hours in Berlin. I'll wake up an extra hour early the next 3 days and I'll get those hours back. Also, they threw a 50$ food voucher my way. A $50 food voucher in the Copenhagen Airport bought me a plate of pasta with salmon, 2 pieces of garlic toast and a Raspberry Juice. That may just end up being my most expensive meal of my trip. It would be great of this trend of getting compensated for taking later flights continues. If it does, I'll ...

... led from Rådhus Pladsen, too. And why wouldn't København have one, as well? So I began with it, just as the city map proposed and entered Latiner Kvarteret - Latin Quarter. I found myself on Frue Plads, a small cobbled square, on whose one side there is the København University, the oldest and biggest in Denmark. Founded as long ago as 1479, until the foundation of the Århus University in 1920, it was the only institution of its kind in the country. According to some ratings ...

... 1971 on an abandon military barracks by a bunch of hippies as a semi-independent nation, this meant for a long time you could by drugs openly on the street even in shops like a candy drug store and they made there own laws. But lately there has been a big police crack down. But anyway it's a strange and wonderful place and well worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. Maybe also one place you could never call typical.

... seemed significantly slimmer. As soon as she rose, all the other yaks abandoned their 'shielding' positions and ran to her. The tall grass prevented us from seeing what was happening to the baby. In fact, we could not see if there was one there. If the new mom was no significantly slimmer, we would not have been sure if she even gave birth. After a few minutes, the other yaks left the new mom, and went back about their business of eating grass, while the new mom was ...
