Danes sure do LOVE Fridays

So I wanted to post a short video from our Pub Crawl. I documented the entire night, but the movie was too large to post, and the clip ending up taking an eternity to load also. I'll try to upload the Youtube link once it has loaded.

We went to 5 bars including Peter Gift, Pub 'ens, Hunter's, Drop Inn, and finished the night at Heidi's... a bar/club. It was a lot of fun, but you could tell they took us to the cheapest bars they could find. Our mentors Mette and Niklas led the crawl.
I think this Friday, Kristin from Slovak Republic wins the award for Most Entertaining.

Saturday was so beautiful and sunny outside, yet so very cold. Christina and I used the day for exercising. She went on a run, and I popped in an Insanity workout.

Later, we made a massive grocery shopping list and headed out around 6pm. We forgot everything closes early on the weekends here. Something to add to the "Things I Miss" list... stores that are open 24 hrs. So we get off the bus, realize we're too late, then hear a loud crash. We look over our heads and someone has chucked a grocery cart off of the bridge above us. Then, we hear four police cars rush by. It's not very well lit, and it doesn't take us long for us to realize we're not in the best part of town. On weekends, the bus only comes twice every hour. We decide to walk to the next bus stop. Along the way a chain of cars pull up honking a tune together, we pass several shady looking loners, and finally arrive at the first sign of a lit up restaurant. Pizza didn't sound bad, so we ordered the typical Danish pizza (Shwarma pizza) complete with Shwarma meat, salad dressing, and lettuce. Then, we notice the windows out of the restaurant have been broken. Three more ambulance and fire trucks drove by also.

So we passed the time eating and headed to the next bus stop. Man, was it far away! Definitely, the longest we've had to walk in between a bus stop. The bus arrived 10 minutes later and we finally made it home safe :)

Today, was a very productive day. Kim, Thorsten, and I worked used our access card to get in to school, just to have a head start on editing. For the next two days, we don't really have school. It's just time to work on our project. So we've agreed to sleep in an extra hour this week :). But we accomplished quite a bit today in just a few hours. We've now written our voice over and arranged the sound bites and produced a really good profile of Chef Kristensen. I think he'd be pleased. Tomorrow all we really have to do is just match the video to our sound, then spend Tuesday fine tuning everything to hopefully achieve one of the rare "A"s our teacher hands out. She believes nothing is perfect or worthy of an A. What a load of hog wash! Why make the letter A if you're not going to believe in them. I guess it really doesn't matter. My grades only transfer as pass fails, but I still like to be the best. That's what I'll be aiming for this semester.

It's hard to believe that I'll have been here a whole month this weekend. Speaking of this weekend!! I am so excited to travel to Berlin with Marieke & Kim. Hugo from Canada is making us a list of things to see and do. I've also been reading Samantha Brown's travel guides. Time is really flying here.
