Hotel Gasslingen Skåne

Today Christian drove us over a long bridge into Sweden. We toured a rather sad-looking Viking fort and wandered a nice deserted beach in Trelleborg, inspected the old church and soaked up some Swedish beer at a very cool little university in Lund, then hung out ...

... snow is truly the icing on the cake! The Danes now know the world now looks to Copenhagen for the best in design, architecture and fashion... It has been fashion week on this side of the world and Copenhagen, as fashionable and trendy as it is, is no exception. It really has not disrupted the city too much but you did notice the increase in people roaming the streets and looking very lost. The reason I am telling you all this you may ask... well I got ...

... hippy community that considers itself a separate country to Denmark. We decided against spending any time in the commune, instead walking back across several bridges to the main part of Copenhagen to rejoin the recommended walking route. The old "New" harbour was passed as we walked via the waterfront to the main, Amelienborg, Palace in town. We had hoped for some sort of activity as it was Princess Mary's birthday but nothing out of the ordinary was happening and the ...

... up being a lot of fun! We had a small lunch at one of the only places actually open that day, and then we went back to the hotel and relaxed until the big Christmas eve dinner that the school had set up for us! They ended up giving the whole big back room to us and had it decorated all Christmasy and nice. Everyone was planning on going out to a little pub that was open later, but Chelsea (my friend and roommate for xmas tour) and I ended up going up to our room and noticed that an ...

Omri's Birthday (03.11.08)   A bunch of people went out to the Ice Bar and Hard Rock Café to celebrate Omri's birthday. Not wanting to spend several hundred kroner and feeling that we could be of more use back at Holger, Alex, Ben, Steve & I cooked a massive meal of Pasta ...

... and Jesper were in mid deck awkwardly trying not to collapse on each other, while I was on the high side of the boat just holding on. I was very conflicted about trying to help Kalle and Gugge since I was closest to them, but me being half their size saw the folly in that. Much yelling was going on behind me, but I kept to my self and made sure that I was all right and out of the way of whatever they were planning to do to rectify the situation. Maybe after about a minute or two ...

... much) and headed up to the First Class lounge for some dinner and a few drinks. We headed to the plane and as I was travelling Economy and Jeff Business we took our seats! I had a bit of a joke and a winge with the stewart about the situation and as soon as we were up in the air he shuffled some business class passengers around and invited me up to Business class! Very pleased was I! We landed in Copenhagen and on landing had a text message from one ...

Well, here goes.... This is my first try with a travelblogg and I shall do my best, I promise. I am going to National University of Samoa for one semester to study anthropology and Samoan culture and history, whilst I write my bachelor thesis of ...

Good evening fans. In this particular travel blog I will be discussing life as a student in Copenhagen plus my interesting canal tour and of course my eastern romp to a grand old castle. For those of you who have travelled abroad with the intention of making casual acquaintances, and if you're an especially needy person maybe even 'friends', you will know that the process of socialising is, well, exhausting. You see, meeting so many people in a strange and foreign ...

This morning Rhian and I slept in... until about 10am! Then we got up, and ready for the day. We basically just hung out and talked until 1pm, when his cab was supposed to arrive. A couple minutes before 1:00 we walked outside... and the cab was early. I hugged Rhian good-bye and watched him get into the cab and drive away. I didn't cry when saying good-bye to Rhian, but I was definitely going to miss him. Rhian was a great guy, and we'd had a lot of fun together over ...
