And so the nightlife begins!

In the attempt to meet as many people as I can I've gone out all but 2 of the nights I've been here! On Tuesday, to celebrate a friend's birthday we went to The Scottish Bar and had a pipe of beer, which was basically a 4 Liter graduated cylinder with a spout on it that you share. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that night so pictures will be coming soon! We met two guys from Louisiana in there who were happy to see some other Americans, or maybe it was because they wanted a picture of our tower of beer.

After that, we walked around downtown Copenhagen for awhile and these friends (Chris, Hilary, Emilio, Andrew, Miki) and I came back and hung out til the wee hours in the morning...needless to say, I overslept the next morning haha! I'm actually one of the oldest people here, not too many people study abroad their last semester of college so most of the people I've met are either juniors or sophomores. These are the people I've been hanging out with the most so far.

This is the main plaza when you get off the train stop in downtown Copenhagen...you're surrounded by tall buildings with neon signs on all sides.


Carlsberg and Tuborg are the main beers brewed here, aka--the cheap beer haha.

Tivoli is one of the world's oldest amusement parks and also the main inspiration for Disneyland! A trip here will be a must once the weather warms up!

Thursday night we found a Blues bar where the music the band played was in English (not like the Scottish Bar where a man played Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven' in Danish).
