Introducing Alfunks!

                Charlotte and her band, Alfunks, played  at Studenterhuset two Thursdays ago. I was so excited to see her and imagined they'd be really good after getting that wonderful preview with Charlotte singing at Anne-Lise's birthday.  They did not disappoint.  They were so good, entertaining, and all great musicians.  You can (and should!) check em out on Facebook or Myspace !   :)   It was also awesome getting to see everyone after a long time apart for Christmas.  Got to see Maria, Anne-Lise, Ewelina, Thomas, and Charlotte, of course! I didn't realize how much I'd missed them all! Sune came out too, and got to meet the whole gang!  Was a really great night.                                   

Danish Folk Dancing

                               I was so excited last Friday to have  my first morning off !  After some last minute cleaning and a run, I went to meet Sune with plans to go to some dinner and music he'd signed up for at a place he used to work. When  we got to the place though, there weren't many people, and we didn't like the idea of paying, so we chose to go to Christiania instead, which had kind of interested us more anyway. Some of his friends had told him about some traditional Danish folk dancing going on there. We were both pretty intrigued as neither of us had ever seen any Danish dances.         It was a nice bike ride over there besides the cold, but after a coffee and pancake break it was bareable. When we got to the bar, Operaen, I got to meet several of his friends who were all really nice. It was nice hearing the whole, "Oh, we've heard about you!" bit when I went to introduce myself.          Then the dancing began. It was a lot of fun see

Ramblin'

          Three weekends ago, Jen and I met for lunch in the city for some burgers and onion rings at a place called Haché. Afterwards, we checked out the Glass Market for my first time which was pretty cool... Just lots of different food places. I, of course, got some coffee and a pastry. Jen had to go back for dinner, but I decided to stay in the city. I wandered around all day, spent entirely too much money (but got a super awesome purse so I don't really regret it), found where I'll be getting my tattoo done (finally!) and eventually wound up at Charlie's to wait for Jen to come back out. When she made it back, we stayed there for a little bit, then tried a new Charlie's that wasn't so good, and ended at The Moose where we ran into Bogdan and his friends for his last night in Copenhagen.        It had been a really fun hanging out with Jen, but I ended up getting bummed and calling it a night... But not before taking a completely wrong train, getting off some

Julen og Nytårs

Glædelig Jul!                          It's Christmas post time! :) A little late but that happens. I had a wonderful Christmas with friends and "family" and it was really cool getting to experience it with a different culture. I  spent Christmas Eve with the family and Christmas Day with friends. Here, they do their big celebrations on the 24th and relax more the next two days. I got to share Mom's Christmas egg casserole with them for breakfast on the 24th. We then relaxed some, I went for a run, and I watched the kids while they went to church in the afternoon. I tried to get the kids to participate in Christmasy fun... Baking cookies, drawing Christmas pictures, but they weren't having it so I made cookies and drew a Christmas tree by myself.  I went to the next church service when they got back. It was only 30minutes long! I came back for a lovely dinner of duck and potatoes. The duck was so delicious with some apple jelly dip. After dinner, we had the
