Blogs from Copenhagen, Region Hovedstaden, Denmark, Europe - page 21

I have felt this urge to write about my deepest feelings, my fears, my hopes, all those overwhelming emotions that spill all over around me. Coincidental enough, the trip that brought me to Denmark has abandoned me with the only choice of documenting my experience in a second language, adding to the challenge of expressing powerful emotions and endless meditation. For a Latin American communist, proud of the courage of Eugenio Maria de Hostos, Fidel Castro Ruz and Ernesto "El Che" Guevara, living in the United States is plagued with contradictions, conflict, and constant introspection. When you decide to embrace the eclectic views of multiple philosophies and cultures, you find yourself lonely, but free of polluting values and moral codes. This is my close encounter with the soul of Denmark. Friday 23th… I went to visit ... read more

For my final European trip (for now), Clay, Kim, Meg and I headed off for a short weekend away in Copenhagen, or as Kim preferred to call it, (use the Borat voice) Copen High Five! Yes, she is South African. It's not her fault. Our trip started with an ultra red eye flight on the Saturday morning.

Everything went perfectly well and after my goodbyes, I was on my way! To send me off at the airport was my parents, Henrik and Jannie, my boyfriend, Kristian, my good friends, Ajaja, Anders, Sofia, the Australian girl, Bonnie, and Lone and Per, from the SKÅL Club Copenhagen :) ... read more

Friday morning dawned EARLY. Despite being back in my room at a very reasonable time, I have trouble settling my brain when I’m out with a group of people until late at night. So I puttered around for a while, uploaded the photos I had taken of the group and posted them to various places, and played a computer game. I was well and truly exhausted, and finally fell asleep, but it felt like my alarm went off far too early the next morning. We had a very productive morning session, with my favorite part being the “speed-dating.” Since we have a networking group, we like to encourage different ways for them to get to know each other. So we set up the room like a speed dating session, and had the delegates sit in pairs ... read more
