Ny Cykel

After another cold walk through Copenhagen last night I finally managed to get a bike (see picture) today. Since the price for parking in or around the city doubled since last time, it is even more necessary to have a bike in Copenhagen. After checking the good old Kvickly (where we got the bikes last time, and a cheap lock this time) I ended up buying the bike at Bilka onestop in Scandinavia’s largest shopping centre field’s, in the south of Copenhagen.

btw since this is a weblog I will take some more pictures with my webcam in the future… which is concerning the quality a bit like lomography.

Starting to feel home…

Great… just before I left Berlin some of our neightbours seemed trying to rebuild the house a bit… they were laying parquet or sth in the middle of the night. It’s just fantastic…
And guess what happened this morning… damn!
Which was especially bad since I came home at about six in the morning and they started at about nine… I’m lovin’ it!
To explain the late return… I was on my first “master-thesis-done-party”.
Which seams to be sth very big over here…
We had great fifty-people-three-course-menu-and-a-lot-of-alcohol-
brought-from-cheap-Germany-drink-as-much-as-you-can-party… I enjoyed it a lot (still not having any alcohol, for those who might ask)… Even though I was feared of the fact, that they might expect me to do a similar one???

New home at Kollegiegården

From next month on I’ll be living at Kollegiegården, a dormitory in the north of Copenhagen… not to far from the institute, not to far from the city, cheaper than everything before, most likely cleaner than F.+H.’s and including internet and cable-tv connection. Which means that my phone connection (it’s a landline in Berlin: +493020236449) will always online when I’m “home”. The same is valid for Skype (heimleiterdk) of course.

Olympic Games 2020

This morning I read in the newspaper that Copenhagen is applying for the Olympic Games 2020. The authorities are still struggling whether it’s a good idea or not… the usual stuff. But they still have one big problem… they just don’t know where to do the white water rafting… since you would need some kind of torrent for that kind of sport.
And this is kind of a problem for a country with a hundred’n’something hill being the highest mountain…
