A little more on where I live in Albertslund!

This is the main building where the exercise room and ping-pong table is, right on a (man-made?--I'm pretty sure) river! Behind this are about 20 buildings (or blocks as they're called here) along either side of the sidewalk where all of us live.


A quick 5 minute walk brings us to the main plaza of Albertslund where we can find small shops , grocery stores, and a Blockbuster (probably the only commercial chain in this area). Everything closes early, by 7 pm this area is empty except for the grocery stores which stay open until 8 or 9pm.


Also, it has been QUITE rainy here as you can see what a quick trip to the grocery store did to Hilary and me. I think I should invest in some rain boots :) Good news is that the jacket I bought for the rain (which really isn't for the rain) kept part of me dry!

Hey! It sounds like things are going good there! I'm happy to hear that you got there safe. I miss you and our lunches too! I look forward to reading more about the stuff that you are doing as the semester goes on. Have fun!! =)
