Tired of Cold Weather

When is Spring going to come?! It's been too cold for too long.

Last night, I had a Skype date with Elizabeth (one of my room mate in Canada). It really made me miss home. These gloves were a Going Away/ Christmas present from my room mates in Canada. They really "keep my hands and my heart warm". I put my trust in wool. They're essential for blocking the wind while biking. I wear them everywhere!

Last week, Jason, Stef and I spent the whole afternoon walking around Central Copenhagen and checking out cool little places. We played dress up in a little vintage store near Nørreport.

We explored the Copenhagen library. It was really big and modern.  The yellow CPR health insurance card also functions as the library card. I got mine registered with the library that day. Although I don't know if there was a point because really... the only thing I can read are children picture books. Which is already an accomplishment.

We stepped in from the Cold and had a drink in Cafe Retro. This place is amazingly cozy and has a definite charm: big squishy couches, artwork, nice mood lighting, and free wireless internet. By Copenhagen standards (the land of $8.00 CND coffee), the prices were actually decent. The best part is that all the employees there are volunteers. The profit is sent to India and Africa.

It's been a busy week so far. Today I walked around and applied for some jobs. It'd be really nice to be able to earn a little extra spending / travel money while I'm here. Life in Copenhagen is much more expensive than in Canada. Although I always try and go for the most economical choices (i.e. the cheapest)... things just seem to add up, and at the end of the week, I'm like WOW. How did I spend all that money??

I have class all day tomorrow and then I'm headed to the Studenterhuset for International night. It's the tradition to have a crazy party there on Wednesday nights. I really wish I had a smaller digital camera that I can take with me to different social events and parties.

THEN I'm heading off to LONDON and DUBLIN!!!!!
