Fun happenings

Hi all!
Today I bought a memory card reader, so now I can upload some pictures here =). If you would like to see all the pictures from my trip so far you can follow this link:



So this weekend I went to Copenhagen, or København in Danish. It was Danny's friends' birthday, Dani & Rafael and we went and celebrated in a place called cafe katz. We were below the cafe in a reserved room, they bought us some rounds of drinks, and it was a lot of good fun! We thought that because the name was cafe katz that maybe the owner was jewish, so we asked the waitresses if he was jewish, and they said it was named after some polish prostitute with that last name-- nice huh? I met lots of cool new people, and even got a few numbers ;).



and then of course there was last night, which was international night in the cellar bar in the main building: 101. So me and Sabrina went to her apartment after class and cooked a really nice dinner. While we were cooking dinner something really weird happened. Sabrina asked me if I wanted a glass of white wine with dinner, no that's not the weird part, then she pulled out a box from the fridge, with a tap on it! She had a box of wine, it was crazy! Apparently it's not uncommon to have some table wine like this, the wine itself was decent, not too bad. It was crazy though, so I had to read more about it. The idea originated in Australia but has been picking up here in Europe. It has difficultly sticking in the US because of the idea of wine being in a box, weird huh? Anyway, Sabrina thought it was really comical that I didn't know what it was! Then Sabrina taught me a new phrase in Danish to say when I got to the cellar bar: "Jeg vil gerne købe to øl, tak!" This means: I would like to buy two beers, thanks! So I practiced all evening, during dinner, the walk there, ready to say this phrase in Danish, which if you've ever heard any Danish is really hard to pronounce, and even simple words and phrases that I say Danes have difficultly understanding. So I get to the Cellar bar, find the first bartenderess, and take a deep breath and start to say: "Jeg vil gerne..." and she interrupts and says: "I'm sorry...." and I immediately thought: oh god, fail, she understood nothing. Then she proceeds to say: "I don't speak Danish..." Hahahhaha, great! She was from Mexico =P. I guess I should've figured at international night!

Anyway, bye for now, I've got lots of stuff to do =)
