Damn that's fancy...

hello everyone! I hope your weeks are going well. The past few days have been pretty laid back without many pictures so I waited until today to consolidate.

Sunday Funday:
-Went to a super cute hole-in-the-ground cafe to do some homework.
-Finally made it to Kebabistan!!! Oh jeez was it good. Each table also had some chilies and some chili sauce stuff.....super spicy stuff that chili stuff is. Now I can safely say that the Avengers were right: Shawarma is the best thing to eat after saving the world from an alien army....or after doing homework.

Monday tonday: I did a ton of stuff
-I got registered to be a Danish temporary resident!
-Discovered my new favorite cafe! Books line the walls all the way up to the ceiling and it has a distinctly antique home-y feeling that is really comforting. It is beautiful and has the best latte I have tried so far, plus they give you a cute little biscotti thing and a chocolate with it!
I just found this picture online, but I had to show you guys.

Tuesday ....day: ahh I am a rhyming failure
Weird improv dinner of the week: whole wheat penne mixed with raw green pepper and tuna with soy sauce/evoo. Call it weird or sick nasty or whatever you like, however it WAS edible! And it was kinda tasty in a weird "why is there tuna in my pasta?" way. 

Wednesday aka humpday aka today: 
-I went downtown to meet my friend Sarah and we went to Rosenborg castle together which is very close to the DIS campus. 
-This castle was largely a summer castle which was later turned into a safe place for royal heirlooms, jewels, etc in the early 1700's.
-Rosenborg has also served as a museum since 1838.


This picture was taken in a room completely full of plates and different pieces of china. There were multiple rooms like this in the castle: a silver room, goblet room, and a mirror room etc. The sheer amount of heirlooms that this castle contained was incredible. 

Only the best people have their thrones guarded by golden lions! 

This room had a the floor, ceiling, and all four walls completely covered in mirrors. 

Damn that's fancy.

 Danes love amber.

Elephant shoulder plates? Why not!

 
Ah yes, the crown jewels, I get it.
 MAM CAN I HAVE THIS FOR CHRISTMAS?

 Overall it was well worth the visit. The amount of detail put into each room was so overwhelming I can't even begin to try and explain, and the rest of the pics are on Facebook if you would like to see more fancy-ness!

See that dog up there? ^^^ He has no leash on, and that's his owner on the bike.

Welcome to Denmark: the land where dogs don't need leashes, doctor appointments are free, and you make people feel weird when you smile at their babies.

I pass this stand everyday and think about how pretty they are, so hopefully they brighten your day!

Well, now I am off to watching more Downton Abbey! I'm also eating a pomegranate :) So since I haven't given you an awkward selfie lately here you go!
I LOVE POMEGRANATES 

have a good day!
