Freakin' Weekend

Hello everyone! I am trying to keep my promise to take more pictures and I think I am starting to get the hang of it. Here is what happened last night:
step one. find camera
step two. charge battery
step three. forget camera and battery
step four. discover lack of camera
step five. miss the perfect photo opportunity when 3 drunk girls try to dance on a tiny table and end up all falling off within 2 minutes of each other. (I think the dub step in the background made this funnier...but I can't be sure).
step six. steal someone else's camera.
Just kidding, but I wanted to so badly!

I will make up for the lack of bar pictures with a description of Danish drunkards! Yaaaaay!

Now, let me tell you. I know many Europeans are notorious for being crazy partiers, but the Danes take the cake. They go out late, drink, socialize, dance, and come back no earlier than 6am. Most importantly they are all extremely comfortable in their own skin. They don't care what other people think. If a danish person wants to do a funky robot chicken dance, they're totally gonna do it. And they'll do it in the middle of a Rastafarian dance club.

The best way to get to know a Danish person is to go to a bar.
In the past two weeks I have seen:
1. A girl pee in the middle of the street. No pants. No cares. Just peeing.
2. Multiple failed attempts at table dancing (as mentioned above)
3. A 16 year old successfully puke into a bag while on a moving bus. WITHOUT GETTING IT ON ANYONE. < a small miracle
4. One night, a random girl grabbed my face and sang Justin Bieber to me. Which was very flattering, but also a tad disturbing.

Those are the craziest things I have now that are blog appropriate. But if thats all i've seen in two weekends, you know there is definitely more to come.

It snowed yesterday!
here is a picture one of our friends took Saturday night (I'm on the right and my friend Jonathan is on the left).

On a completely unrelated note, I met some icelanders! They were really fun and I got to try fermented shark. YUM! Just kidding but it was interesting. Not all icelandic folk like it but some absolutely love it. Icelandic candy is also unexpectedly excellent. If you can, you all should look it up and ship some to yourselves! I promise its worth it.

Today a lot of people went ice skating at a local rink. AND I TOOK MY CAMERA!

The best part of today was watching the kids because they were just so ridiculous and awesome! You could tell that most of them were still learning to skate; and I probably saw about 50 face plants, 20 full on wipe-outs, and 4 kids get nailed in the head with snowballs. And they would all pop right back up! Run into the side railing? Pop back up. Face plant and knock three other kids over? Pop back up. I think some of them were trying to fall. All in all, it was really fun to see what the people are like here in a family setting (aka really great - tons of family bonding - so cute).

I think he's just resting....

Tonight we had another family potluck for our kollegium, we might have to start organizing these because 75% of everyone brought some form of potatoes (including Kira and I) haha.

I hope you all had an awesome weekend!!! I'm sending love to all of you.
Now I'm off to Skype my wonderful boyfriend who asked me out two years ago today :)
Live long and prosper! Miss you all!
