Hello loyal followers! I have made it back from my Study Tour in the Border Region. It was fantastic. However, it left me with a lot of homework and a bit of a cold. My pictures are up on Photobucket (as always) and I will try REALLY HARD to update this before Wednesday. Its kind of a busy week with events everyday and I have to miss dinner three nights... Which I'm really sad about (since dinner is family time and is very important... and I like my host family lots.) and its just craziness.
By the way: Gas here is over 11DKK/liter. divide by 5... thats over 2$/liter... and there are about 4 liters in a gallon. So, gas here is over 8$/gallon. Just so you know.
Also: Doors. They all go opposite of what you'd expect... I still fight with the front door of the house. Really embarrassing... particularly early in the morning when I don't know if the door is locked and I forget to pull... and keep on pushing and wondering why the darn thing won't budge! Also embarrassing in public.
If you visit: Please keep in mind to avoid the bike lanes.
Myth! Danes DO NOT wait for the little green man telling you you can cross on the cross-walk. They cross when possible, just like everyone else. This goes against everything anyone told me before coming.
Furthermore: Stoplights. They're yellow before they turn green too... Kinda confusing when riding a bike and you're preparing for a red light because the light was just yellow... then it turns green.
Miss you all! Send me your addresses please! I'm accumulating post cards and one day I might work up motivation to go buy stamps...

Same thing with doors here too! The right one is almost always locked too. Why?! And some automatic doors have box handles that you scratch at, hit, try to move... Until you jostle it up and the door opens. Ugh.
I'm also terrified of breaking or spilling something on my rice-paper doors that separate the desks / window from the tatami mats...
