My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting, it has been quite stressful since I got back.
If we time-travel a bit…
Helgaard and I had great fun visiting Malmo (Sweden), where we spent the day with Thomas – a Swede who stayed with Helgaard’s friend in New Zealand a year or two back. Helgaard happened to mention to Thomas on facebook the night before that we were going, and he said he would get a train and see us there.
When I flew in to Copenhagen I saw a multitude of windmills in the ocean, we got another look on the train – aren’t they incredible!
This was really funny. It was a kids game in a museum where you try to get the ball to the opponents side by not thinking. So the person who manages to have the least brain activity wins.
Malmo had a really cool vibe, I especially liked the town squares. Thomas treated us to delicious buns and hot chocolate. I can’t remember what they are actually called but they are Swedish and only available once a year. Under the cream was an almond paste.
Back in Copenhagen we went for quite a few more walks around the city and enjoyed the sight-seeing. I am really glad we went to a war museum and had the chance to read about Denmark in World War II.
It was incredible to have a 360 degree view up the round tower, and it was very windy!
The night before I left Copenhagen an ATM machine swallowed my eftpos card, after a WONDERFUL Indian meal. I managed to withdraw cash via Helgaard and am currently waiting for my new card to arrive.
Kony 2012 (http://vimeo.com/invisible/kony2012) seems to be the only thing people are talking about, internationally. Next week a group from Invisible Children is coming to my church to give a presentation about it, which I’m sure will be interesting.
I have to give credit where credit is due, I largely left my camera behind in Copenhagen so these photos are courtesy of Helgaard. Sorry there was so many, it was hard to choose a sample.
Looking forward, I am going to a film screening related to International Women’s Day tomorrow – which my housemate is involved with, there is a soccer game on Saturday to watch, I have lots of assessments, and a trip to Sugar Shack is planned.
