Story time!

I go in to the Lego store to buy a lego keychain. A guy aks if I need help in Danish, I say "I'm sorry?" and he switches to English. He's smiling and very friendly about trying to help me. I go to him to buy my Copenhagen lego man keychain. "Where are you from?" he asks. "America" I say, "you?" "Here" he says. I find out he's graduated from high school and working now to make money for college. We talk about how a lot of kids study in Denmark and how Danish is a hard language to learn. He tells me have a nice day and I leave. I walk back to DIS and think to myself, "Wow, he was really nice. And really cute. And I walked away from him. I should go back ask him out." So I confidently walk back into the lego store. "Hi again" he says. "Hi. Do you want to grab coffee sometime?" I ask. "Oh. I don't think my girlfriend would like that." D'oh! He said he thought I was really brave to do that and wished that I really have a good day. Great.

Today's coffee review

Bagel shop by DIS: I don't know their name but I took a picture of the shop. I was excited to go here because it was a good location and hoped it might be a place I could frequent. Wrong. I open the door and immediately run into a guy who's sitting right by the door talking to the shop owner. I tell the man I want a small latte. He makes it. I pay. He watches me and waits for me to leave. There wasn't anyone except the shop owner and his friend in there. The coffee was okay because I added sugar. It was so small and overpriced. It's such a small shop, that you can't hangout there.

Today's restaurant review:

I tried Sandwich Pigen today. Seemingly every DIS kid except me has been here. I wanted a salad for lunch and I saw online they had salads. When I walked in, there were two other DIS girls there ordering sandwiches. I knew one of the girls from class and chatted with her. I ordered the two meatball pasta salad. I ate it on the train. The meatballs were the size of my first. The pasta salad tasted very healthy. It even came with bread. It was a a huge portion and very filling. I'm not sure if I'll go back.

IKEA

Me, my host mom and host sister went to Ikea this evening. My host sister is getting a new room with new wallpaper and furniture so she was picking out new bed sheets and new things. I enjoyed comparing the American Ikea to Denmark's Ikea. The furniture is somewhat different and there is less stuff to buy, probably because it's smaller.
