More of Europe
So here its is a long over due update of my continuing jurney in europe.
Copenhagen
I was in copenhagen for three nights. The first night I got got food from the grocery store and made dinner at the hostel I was staying at. I then watched TV for a couple of hours and watched an interested Danish special on super sized women. The special was boardline discusting but interesting. The next day I went to a bunch of free museums. I went to a danish history museum and an art museum. I then went the botanical gardens and went into there two green houses. Which was very cool. I then went back to hostel and had dinner. One thing that was really anoying about the hostel was a group of school children. They were at that age where boys first discover that girls have breast, very very anoying. The next day I went back to the botanical gardens, though about looking a the crown jewels and decieded against, and then spent two hours trying and failing to find a museum about beer brewing. After that I went to the local equivelent of a mall and looked around. I then went back to hostel and did the usual sort of thing, dinner and confusing danish tv. The next morning I left and went to Ärhus.
Ärhus
I also spend three nights in arhus. It took a while to find the hostel I was staying at. I spend the first full day, finding the tourest information office, going to Den Gambles, the old town, and the botanical gardens. That night when I went back to the hostel, I shared a bottle of wine with a girl from Princeton and watched Danish ballet. The night got more interesting when the other girls in our room came back and we started to play care-bear uno. Sense we didn't know what a care-a-lot care was suposed to do, we turned it into a drinking game. We had champane. Then some random danish guy come into the common room and offered all of us a tradinonal danish shot of some sort of liquor. It was bar far the most discusting thing I have ever had. After that they came back and joined the game and brought wine and beer. It was fun evening, though it was kind of random. The second day, I went to a couple of museums. I went to a poster museum and a contempary art museum. I also went to the large art museum in Arhus. That night, I packed my things up and took an early train to Berlin.
Berlin
I spend three nights in berlin as well, it a theme. I stayed with one of my mom's friends ex-parents in law and their son. It went well. The adults didn't speak english but jestering worked well enough. I got home cooked meals the entire time I was there. The first day of sight seeing I went into Berlin with my mom's friends mother and looked around town, went up the television tower and then took a cruise along the river. We then went to postdam platz and had lunch at an "American" reseraunt. The food did not taste like american food but they tried. I then went and walked around town with the ex-in laws son and saw check point charlie and some other interesting sites. I also had a beer and cranberry juice drink. I then went back and had dinner. The next day the entire group took a trip to Postdam and went to go see the palaces. it was very cool. That night for dinner we meet, my mom's friends parents for dinner and then I went to sleep. the next morning I headed off to Munich.
Munich
I also stayed with a family in Munich. This time it was just a friend of a friend. She had two children, 8 and 10. I went around Munich on my own. The first day I went and found the tourest information office and then went to the English Gardens. That night after having dinner, I went with the family to go get ice cream. The local ice cream places, was a wierd mix of an ice cream pallor and a bar. The next day I went to the modern art museum and then went to BUGA a garden show. BUGA was incrediably disapointing. There weren't nearly as many flowers or plants as I expeced. There were alot of pretty roses but that was it. The next day I headed off to Salzburg. Well I'm running out of time so I'll finish this off later with Salzburg and Vienna. :)
