Hotel Duxiana Lund

I wrote out everything I wanted to say about Lund upstairs in my hotel room but I'm afraid to run and get it and find the computer taken!!! (there's only 2 here and they're constantly occupied)<br><br>Nikolas showed me around Lund my last day in Sweden. I learned more about Swedish history than I could have ever asked for. We walked everywhere and explored the massive Cultural Center, and the central church, where I saw my first baptism. I asked him if there's ...

... from. the nations are sort of like a club/frat/student union rolled into one. they offer activities and have bars and night clubs with cheep drinks (it costs around 10CAD for a beer in a regular pub). since it was the last friday night before christmas, people were out en masse and we couldn't get into the club/nation we wanted to. we ended up at a nation playing 'schlager' music, which is essentially Eurovision music, popular with ...

... from the machine and waiting until your number is called to go up to the counter. In Sweden it is done practically everywhere, and it is COMPLETELY socially unacceptable for someone to do otherwise) When I got up to the window, they told me I was in the wrong queue. So I took another number from a different button on the machine and waited again. After about 15 minutes my number was up and I went over and explained to the guy that the cell phone ...

... bookshops are in Swedish. There are very very few online Swedish translation websites and they all suck. Therefore, putting in a book order through a Swedish site is considerably tougher than doing so in English. *Practically all stores in Sweden close at 2 or 3 on Saturdays, and even less are open at all on Sundays. (which is why there's hardly any people on the streets in the picutres I took...it was like 5pm on a ...

... skulle vi have vearet af paa Valby station, men toget stoppede der slet ikke, saa vi maatte kontakte ham vi skulle overnatte ved, vi fik saa afvide at, hvis vi kunne vaere paa osterport inden for 10 min. kunne vi faa hans nogle og saa bare opholde os i hans lejlighed mens han var til laege. Vi havde ikke saa meget at lave, saa vi sad bare og stenede foran flimmeren. Jeg havde taget aftensmad med hjemmefra til Asger og jeg. saa Morten maatte ud og finde ...

... but we didn't get a fortune cookie afterward. (It's the Chinese meal that never ended because I got the bill but no fortune cookie.) Unlike the missing Krone story, I let this pass without emotion. Outside in the square there was an American classic car cruise-in going on. I felt like I was back in the states during summer time looking at all the old Chevy's, Fords, Chryslers, and Pontiacs. The car show led right us to the Tivoli garden entrance. Karla and I paid the entrance fee ...

... We watched a band that had a Spanish name despite the fact that the lead singer was British and the rest of the band was Danish, actually there were 19 members in all so I couldn't be sure they were ALL Danish. Anyway, point is, I can't remember their Spanish name but in English it meant 'small but crazy'. And they were. Crazy, not small (the 'small' part is meant to be ironic as having 19 band members makes you 'big', which is the opposite ...

... out more. I also visited the church but it wasn't as fun as the latrine so click the photo album above if you want to see it. Other random things about Denmark: -Mannequins are everywhere displaying the trendy clothes, even on the sidewalks outside the shops. Sometimes you think it's a real person when you turn the corner. They also have very very realistic boobs and really pointy nipples on ...

... busy with something in the grass, and mooing frequently. For a while we were frightened that maybe there was something wrong with the baby, since we still saw no sounds of movement, and we are not yet fluent in Yak speak so we did not understand the mooing. It could have been joy, pain, excitement or sadness. After what seemed like an eternity finally we saw movement, and little guy started to move. We all clapped and cheered which certainly did not endear us ...

Today marks the end of my free-for-all traveling style and the beginning Swedish summer life. The day itself didn't start too well but as usual I got it all figured out ;) It began with getting off the train this morning and realizing I had no idea where I was going! This hasn't been a problem so far because I've always had the addresses of my hostels and I'm good with maps. But in this situation I didn't even write down the address of our ...
