Under the sea!

I'm going to Copenhagen on Saturday. I have a class there all next week and decided to get to the city a day early to see around and get to know the place on the weekend. I also want to take in a few museums because I'll probably be in class most of the day during the week.

There are many things that Copenhagen is known for. Of course there's the 'free district' called Christiania, and amazing buildings. The Danes from that particular city are said to be really friendly and nice. However, that's not what has me so excited to be going. The real reason is that I just want to see the little mermaid.

As a little girl, I remember spending hours reading Hans Christian Andersen. I also remember being outraged (at nine) when Disney changed the ending to one of my favorite stories. So by this time on Sunday, I will have seen my fair share of junkies, even more blond people and I will have stood in the port and watched the little mermaid looking back at the city. I can't wait!

I can't believe it

So my car got broken into... 'broken' being the operative word as they shattered my driver side window. My poor Ford Fiesta looks sad and like she has no idea what's happening.

I wasn't mad when I first saw it... but as time passes I feel the sulfur rising. Someone broke into my property and had ample time to browse through my belongings. The worse part? After perusing through them they decided they didn't like anything so they left EVERYTHING.

I should be glad that all my stuff is still there but the fact that all I had in there were books (expensive, public health books in English), honey cookies and a couple of sweaters tells me a few things: the first one being that the idiots don't know how to read. Then... that they probably only eat crappy food, and finally that they don't like my fashion sense.

Well... I'd never!
