... B**lin doing the touristy thing and staying in a youth hostel, since I felt that might be the easiest way to readjust to the West. It was still quite a shock to suddenly be in streets wh**e no-one is yelling 'Obruni', to be able to walk through an area and be the only p**son th**e, to talk about ev**yday things and have ev**yone und**stand me, to walk on green grass again (!), to pass through clean, concreted streets and buildings, and to have to work to a timetable again ...

... We spent the first night checking out some of the bands that were in for a festival in town, the highlight being a Stevie Wonder cover band--they were really fantastic. We cooked pretty much every meal in the shared kitchen in the dorm---it is really handy; it has anything you could ever need to cook and we always had delicious, healthy meals together around a table. We all took turns cooking for each ...

Silkeborg was a beautiful little city built around it's river. It had walking paths by the river, and in the summer had river cruises. Such a pretty place. One thing that caught our attention was the garages for boats, complete with roller doors and all.

Another viking museum called Moesgard. Fantastic. There was also a forest walk that was replanted in various sections with trees that grew in different time periods of Denmarks history. One section was planted with trees from one particular era, and another section with another era, etc. You'd call it a giant open-air flora museum. It was beautiful, even in winter. There were also things like an iron age house and a stone age barrow and a more recent fishermans house etc.

This kept the residents feeling comfortable inside the hospital because it mirrored differences in class outside the ...

... her as if she had helped me and then continued my search. I came across a couple, Danes this time, somewhat older than me and the man spoke a pretty good English. Besides, they didn't seem to view my looks as that appalling, so by extension, the didn't run anywhere. They were not from Århus, but had rather come from København to just spend a weekend here. However, they seemed to know the city well enough to direct me. It turned out the "Cab Inn" hotel was merely a hundred meters ...
