Best Western Hotel Högvakten Helsingborg

... movie was on TV! How could we pass that up? So we spent Christmas Eve watching "Cold Mountain" and falling asleep by the time the pub opened. It was a very relaxing and peaceful Christmas Eve indeed! I was woken bright and early around 7am by my Alaskan family to wish me a Merry Christmas, so that was an even better way to start my Christmas day! The day wasn't very exciting, we just rode a train for about 5 hours to Stokholm, Sweden. We watched Christmas movies on a girls laptop ...

... by the Danish before the Swedish people drove them back to Denmark. During the time of the Danish occupation, Kronen Fortress (or castle) had huge cannons aimed at the ships travelling through the sound. Going past the castle was the only way that ships travel through, and the Danish used to impose a "sound tax" on all ships going past the sound using strategically placed cannons as ...

... few rounds, and mazhem followed. I got talking to the British girl, Aimee, who was planning on doing her economics degree. Small world. Bowen had been keeping up, but as we went to the moose, the next bar, he started to not realiye what he was doing. He took off with a girl, and me and aimee thought everzone left, so we tried to find our waz back. But Dzlan had onlz gone to the washroom, and from what he ...

... transfer which was a bit of a bummer as had no money. Arrived at the Copenhagen Island Hotel in the afternoon (very nice hotel - it is apparrently designed by the son of the architect who designed the Sydney Opera House). Is very cool and very modern looking. Decided to go to the National Museum as they are shut on Mondays so wouldn't beable to go tomorrow. Had AMAZING collections, especially the Viking exhibitions. Had grave remains, bog people and the ...

... response of "Is that it?" Having got this far, we decided it would be silly to leave without photographic evidence, but an annoying women who insisted on waving an American flag in front of it was hampering such attempts. Whether this was a professional photo shoot or just somebody who really liked having her picture taken was unclear, but she seemed completely oblivious to the growing number of people who wanted to see ...

... is the one way I can be tamed into making long journey's and feel like I'm being useful somehow. If my battery is dead, then I'm forced to read my book, after I get tired of reading I just sit and stare off into space. If I get bored of doing that, then I start shaking my leg nervously until Karla tells me to stop shaking the table and her seat. An hour and fifteen minutes late we arrived in Paris, then had to stand in line for another half-hour to get our tickets changed ...

... run across and steal all the Danes ****. hahaha I thought this was hilarious cause I can just picture it. The Danes must have hated winter haha. Anyways once we explored the castle and grabbed a bite to eat we took the ferry across to Helsingborg, Sweden. It was only a 20minute ferry ride to get to a whole other country and we didn't even bring our passports. It turned out to be a really pretty town. There was an old castle ...

... me in the money, maybe a temp job or something. Then hopefully my Graduate Diploma can get me a job teaching English in Japan, or failing that some other kind of job in Japan. If that's not possible, I think accepting all those invitations are my only option. Oh! And I have added som pictures of what Japanese people do best, sleep in puplic transport.

... youth is something I did not expect to find here. Anyway, Jegtvej is a large street in Norrebro, Copenhagen. In fact it is right around the corner (approx. 100m) from where I sleep and occassionally eat. Anyway for 25 years an abondoned house was utilised by left-wing youths to hang out and organise demonstrations. I'm not an expert on the situation (neither are you so shutup) but I have done a wee (Scottish for "small") bit of research and ...

... but that doesn't really appear to happen. People are so relaxed as well so there's a nice atmosphere in the city. While we were in the park we weren't really disturbed by traffic even though we were by the main road.. would quite often hear a bicycle bell though! They ring them when people are in their way and they want you to move. A strange guy name Tom came an joined us. He said he'd run away from the Psych hospital about two weeks before and had ...
