hej hej
so the time has come to leave CPH... i'm now sitting here in London where i started my trip, still in denial (i'm going home to Copenhagen in 2 weeks, right?) and already missing my friends/hot danes/CPH life. but despite this mild depression i have a lot to be happy about - it's been a great 6 months, filled with a LOT of great people and many many good times.
here are a few photos from my last week in Denmark. and what an fantastisk week it was. tusind tak and vi ses CPH!
classy microbrewery hangout at Mikkeller & Friends

J & I & other Vikings looking cold before going for a quick swim in the harbour in -2 degrees. Thank goodness for the sauna
tak Lucy. this is apparently how Danes spend their winter evenings.
Once upon a time Mikkel Borg Bjergsø worked as a math and physics teacher at a Copenhagen high school. After school he taught two enthusiastic students to brew beer in the school kitchen. The brewing quickly became more than just a hobby for the two students, who started their own brewery, To Øl, in 2010. In March 2013 the two former students and their teacher joined forces and opened up the second Mikkeller bar in Copenhagen, Mikkeller & Friends

the Danes, in a nutshell.
(via daysindenmark)
edinburgh / ireland / vienna / budapest
best....
quote: "get the lassie a pie you asshole!" - drunk pie man's friend at 3am on new year's day
building: hungarian parliament (google it)
meal: the strudel and zwetschkenknödel (plum dumplings) j + m cooked for us in their beautiful vienna apartment
bargain: a 3 course lunch for 1250 forint in budapest, approx. $6.80
cultural event: too hard! a four-way tie between listening to Handel's Messiah in the glasgow cathedral for free (thanks sneaky back door), edinburgh's hogmanay festival (torchlight procession, fireworks galore, street party for 60,000), the ceilidh fi and i joined in the scottish national museum, and our hungarian thermal bath experience with the budapest locals
nature: the cliffs of moher in SW ireland / just all of ireland
local stranger: our irish barman friend who put cordial in our beers (delicious) and played us irish music before mysteriously disappearing
an unfortunate start to the trip - making tuna sandwiches in liverpool en route to edinburgh
getting blown away on top of arthur's seat
edinburgh streets one sunny morning

catch up time. have been away for 2.5 weeks and have not yet blogged about christmas!
happily, xmas was a very danish affair - there were just 7 of us left here at signalhuset in our xmas jumpers, feasting on the 24th as per dansk tradition, eating far too much ris à l'amande (almond rice pudding with cherry sauce), drinking gløgg and being merry. hyggelige (cozy/fun) times!
next up, snaps from the past few weeks.....
studenterhuset the week before christmas
feasttttttt (and rice pudding)
watching danish xmas TV - featuring magic gloves, nisser (special scandivanian elves) and an ice witch

oh, exchange life. no money. two months to go. if you feel like a laugh, check out our shiny new blog:

got a sudden burst of camera energy this morning....
gløgg!
danish mulled wine with port, blanched almonds and raisins. skål!
the exodus begins
now that semester is over people are starting to leave copenhagen for good...all the europeans and americans are heading home for christmas over the next week, plus one dear australian friend. (Laura don't go!) this makes me sad.
i've already said goodbye to one person and yesterday witnessed an unsettlingly casual goodbye between two people in the lift:
"hey if i don't see you before you leave, merry christmas"
"yeah same to you it was great to meet you"
"aw you too catch ya later"
"ok bye"
oh wow. i don't think i can cope with much more of this stuff.

how to get morning tea on campus for 10kr in just 4 easy steps
1. head straight to the kantine after class. buy a delicious, chewy bread roll for 6kr. caution: do not get distracted by the snegle!
2. exit kantinen. go to kommunen cafe. fill up a paper cup to the brim with coffee. here the danish trust system abounds, so by all means put your full 4kr in the box. but if you are sly, and your moral standards allow it, definitely pay less.
3. claim your free biscuit. excellent.
4. revel in the cheapness of your morning tea as you sit amongst a glittering congregation of hot young studious danes.
from last week. friends!
