So yesterday in Copenhagen I didn't really have much to do, so my friends and I decided to head towards DIS to this great coffee house called Studenterhuset, which means "student house" in Danish. It's the student center for the University of Copenhagen, but as a DIS student you get discounts on great food and coffee! But yesterday we weren't looking for cheap food, we were looking for bikes! In Copenhagen everyone gets around on bikes. Cars are seldom on the streets, and there are designated bike lanes to ensure good traffic flow throughout the city (and all of Denmark). Since I will only be here for four months, I didn't know if I wanted a bike or not, but decided to go anyway to see what they had. The bikes were a little expensive, but worth it for the quality and reassurance of knowing you could sell them back at the end of the semester. I looked around for a while and finally found something that caught my eye:
Yes, that's right, I found a pink bicycle. And I have purchased said bicycle and will be riding it to class today. Her name as of now is Lynda, but who knows if that will stick. I decided on this because she is pepto bismol pink, and that reminds me of nurses, and I feel like Lynda is a nurse name. I also don't know why I chose to spell her name that way, but I'm not changing it. Hopefully Lynda does not get stolen, and I promise not to lose her. If I can manage these two things all semester, they will pay me $200 to bring it back to them in December. Which would be a nice perk towards the end of my stay here!
I didn't want this to be a long blog, as some of them have been pretty lengthy recently, but couldn't wait to show you my new bike! I hope you like her, I'll probably have lots of stories from our adventures together!
Amanda went for an artsy shot...
Until then,
