^here is a link! that popping cannon shot sound was my personal favorite.
After I made it to orientation (on time) the day continued with more orientation-like-things. AND I HAVENT GOTTEN LOST YET! I also found a coffee shop (hallelujah) that had authentic Danish danishes. There were 3 options: cream, jelly, or chocolate. They barista man said cream was the best so cream it was. It was really good too!! I don't have a picture of it today but ill get another one sometime if anyone wants to see them.
Later I found the Danish version of Target, called Fotex. Ignorant noobie moment #1 happened here when I didn't know how to get a shopping cart (somebody eventually took pity on me and helped me after watching me tug at the cart for a few minutes). Apparently, you have to put a 20 kk coin in part of the cart to unlatch it from the line. Then when you leave, return the cart to the cart area and when you plug it in you get your coin back! So magical! They have this in France too I think...maybe we should get them in America.....nah better not...too lazy.
I forget what else happened.....
For dinner (first dinner on our own and with danish food) my roommate (Kira) and I made yellow potatoes, jasmin rice, and had the danish version of cheddar cheese << it does NOT taste like american chedder at all. At. All.
Also, today I got an itty bitty cell phone! Sadly in this selfie I am not eating a cookie
Miss you all!

You are too cute! Love the shopping cart incident - we do have carts like that here in the USA, just not that often...I have suffered the same shame! go for the gusto with food - I could never get used to herrings that my Danish grandfather liked! Hope you get to visit the countryside soon - want lots of pictures!!!
