Mishap of the Day

Since it's a pain to go back and edit the old Mishaps post, both for me to edit and you to know when it's updated, I'll now just add "Mishaps of the day/weekend/week/whatever."  It'll be like a cool new category for my blog! (Hopefully read with ne rdy sarcasm). If only I knew how to do the cool organization making it look legit. Maybe one day.  But anyway ... My blooper for today that I felt was blog worthy? After cycling to the doctor to discuss my leg injury, I was ready to leave when I realized I left my bike key at home! Gah!  To cut out all the options that went through my head, I opted for walking home, switching off from suspiciously carrying this bike down the road, to pushing it awkwardly while holding the back wheel up, then switching sides to give my arms a rest. Was probably quite a spectacle.  I always wondered what people would do if they saw someone potentially stealing a bike (someone carrying a bike in the way I was would b...

Mishaps

      Since I've been here, there have been a slew of mishaps from directional issues, phone problems, key mishaps, and so much more.

Mischa, Metros, Meat, and Mishaps

After a full day of celebrating Christopher's birthday... We had Mischa's going away party at good ol' Charlie's.  So many people came out, with everyone in good spirits.  Mark, one of the English bartenders, played his cover songs with his country accent that I later told him to ditch.  Eventually, we moved to The Viking, where we got special treatment and could stay after hours... At least I think that's what happened.  We added a Danish Maria and a cool Polish girl, Ewelina, to the group of friends.   Climbed through Mischa's windows (mainly for the effect) at 7:30am  Conclusions : Copenhagen is great so far. I've met so many awesome people already, and even at 5am, this city is still well alive with people on the streets. The next day...  we met up with Anne-Lise for a chill day at Christiania Followed by a very entertaining night ride (extra thanks to Christiana), sitting in the front of the Metro. We felt like little ...
