... with them about how I was and little things like my cousins and things that were happening in Denmark. I think I was as surprised as them at how much Danish I was understanding and speaking :) We got to their house and I felt instantly at home - everything was exactly as how I had remembered it, except now in winter all the green trees had become brown skeletons. We put my stuff inside and then drove to the garage out the back that they share with the other 4 couples who ...

Roadtrip to White Cliffs Blog  (25.11.08)   While we were in Amsterdam Amy, Alex, Steve, Barbara, Mary Beth, Omri, Melinda & Julie(Omri's friend from New York) had been on a roadtrip around Denmark in a 9-seater van identical to the one we had for Oktoberfest. They arrived back late on Monday night and were planning to head off to see the white cliffs early the next morning. As there was a spare seat, they were kind enough to let me ...

... This place was in a great location, clean and easy to find. We dumped our backpacks and wandered around the city. I had been here before so I had a good idea of where I wanted to go again. We walked along the canal and came to Newhaven, fishing port with many seafood restaurants. It was pretty much lunch time, so we found a nice restaurant to eat at. The rule was that we had to eat ...

... were here. We walked through the foyer and then along Nyhavn across Kongesn Nytorg, where they had an antique market. Walked along Størget and had a good look at Illum Boglihus. Marianne found some of her knives at ½ price. I found lots of things I would have liked, but restrained myself. Looked for a rechargeable salt grinder to match our pepper one, but they didn't have any. We stopped for lunch in Nyhavnen, Marianne had smoked salmon and I had a big plates of Danish ...

... Seems authentic Danish furniture comes at a high price...well over 3000 Danish Kroner for the trolley. That's more than $700 US Dollars. So although we're not bringing an authentic Danish serving trolley back to Virginia, we are bringing a newly expanded appreciation for Danish design. Yours in making plans to fire up the table saw, Kelly

... 2's also got in line. What a mess. And it was not getting prettier. Most of these folks waiting had arrived only this morning from the US, some from as far away as California, that's a 9 hour time difference! They were tired, hungry and anxious. I have to hand it to Linda and Linda, HAL ground staffers, who kept their composure, smiles and charm through it all. They handled the folks with great aplum. Now, if only the guests had ...

... and turned 90 degres on the way up. then i walked through a great park, came across a wonderful windmill, and many families and people walking their dogs, ducks, etc. beautiful weather so i just really took it easy wandering through the beauty. then made my way to another park where some guys were playing...Bocce ball, older guys smoking and talking trash...so i sat down and watched them play for a while. they all tried to act like they didn't notice me ...

... get a washer. Doing laundry here is horrible as there are only 4 washers for the whole building and there are some crazy tenants that stake out the washers for half the day. Well, I got one load in so at least I have clean pants but I had to give up on getting a dryer for awhile. I headed to school and managed to get all 200 photos from the past week up. Then, me and Tommy headed to Tivoli to ...

... pubs and am hit by the strong smell of marijuana. Inside, the place is a zoo - every type of chracter you can think of is there - old men in singlets and brightly coloured board shorts rolling joints, goths, rastas, pretty young girls who don't seem old enough to have left home, etc. Like many of these 'societies' there is a feeling of being rundown and pretty aimless. It's so hard to keep utopia going - it seems you need some organisation and discipline, which rather ...

... she knows they are principally interested in the fee, not the paperwork. When called we present the form and our passport and pay about $200 which includes an express fee. We sit and wait around 30 minutes and are given our passports back with the attached visa. Although the process is solemn with no smiles or small talk, it is actually pretty simple, especially compared to the greater obstacles for a ...
