I almost forgot – on my way to Malta I had time to get into London and the weather was great so I went for a good walk and saw some of the city.
I m going to Denmark next week (monday to monday) and will most likely be hitting Toftlund, Randers + århus and Copenhagen. Get in touch if I can catch you any of those places.
After a 6 day trip up north I am now back in Prague. It was my first time home since we moved to Prague 5 months ago and it was great going back. I don t miss Denmark but I really, really enjoy coming back.
First I got to visit Dennis (my canoe-buddy from this summer) and Jenny in Braunschweig. Very good people and I have to come back some day to explore more of this city.
After that I hit århus were Christian and I took a ride on his bike and caught up on everything that s been going on since last time we spoke. The day after we continued to Haderslev were Søren and Helene treated us with dinner and another night of catching up.
Finally I spend a couple of days with my sister, nephew and parents in Toftlund. Tuesday I had Magnus for the day which was so much lot of fun.
As I said it was really good to get back to Denmark – everything is so neat, cozy and familiar. But I also realized that I don t need to live in Denmark right now. A good dose now and then and then I m good for a while.
I’m back in Denmark for a while. Spent two days hitchhiking the 900 km from Prague, Czech Republic to århus in Denmark. It’s going to be a couple of days hanging out with friends and family back here in the Mothercountry. It was a fun trip home and it’s really nice to be back 🙂 I’ll write more when I got more time. A video should also be coming up.
Update the video is here:
This past weekend Mehmet fired up his Skoda and we went on a westbound road trip. Mehmet is a Turkish friend from IAESTE Prague and together with Femi, me and Mehmet s friend Murat, we started out Thursday night around 1am. We got to the German border about an hour later.
I never realized how privileged I am being pale and having a Danish passport. Going in and out of countries have never taken me a long time. This time was quite different however. Apparently there was a stamp in Mehmet s passport that wasn t right so it took almost 2 hours before they finally let us through. That set us back quite a lot in time and it took us until Friday afternoon before we reached Breda, Netherlands were we met up with Aytek another of Mehmet s friends.
All three Turkish guys works for ExxonMobil so in we got the tour when we went to pick up Aytek. Here are Murat, Aytek, [Aytek’s coworker], Mehmet and [another coworker].
Friday night we spend in the old and beautiful city of Bruges, Belgium. Here are the guys in front of the Belfry Tower from 1280.
Femi and I crashed at a hostel in town while the other guys went on to met another friend. Saturday the next stop was Antwerp were we stayed for the afternoon walking the city and getting some true Belgium fries.
And then it was on to Amsterdam with the Red Light District, coffee shops and canals everywhere. We all had a blast and ended the night at the night club Escape which must be one of the biggest in Amsterdam.
We ended up with two 50 euros parking fines and since we couldn t find a hotel or hostel we slept in the cars. Everyone was tired so it wasn t as bad as expected and Sunday morning we went for a short walk around Amsterdam before driving the 10 hours back to Prague.
Another awesome weekend is over so fast!
[ Update 13/9] Murat just uploaded his pictures and there are gems like this two:
Så er jeg tilbage i gode gamle Europa – herligt! Jeg ankom til Frankfurt i morges og har tilbragt dagen inden i byen, da der var 8 timer imellem mine fly.
Inden jeg tog afsted fra Ann Arbor fik jeg sagt farvel med en omgang øl og chips på taget af kollektivet. Det var godt at samle de folk der var tilbage herover og få mulighed for at sige ordentlig farvel og få en sidste øl, og en snak om gamle dage.
Tyskland spiller i aften så folk er på gaden og synger og fester, som jeg aldrig har set tyskere før – det var en god oplevelse og jeg ville ønske jeg kunne blive her og se kampen, men det må blive en anden gang for nu går mit fly snart.
Julia er en af AIESECerne fra Michigan, som vi har festet med og jeg vidste hun var i Frankfurt for et praktikophold, så jeg fik koordineret at mødes med hende inde i byen til en kop kaffe med en par af de internationale venner hun havde herfra. De påstod at de ikke havde farvekoordineret, men hvis man placerede de tre piger ved siden af hinanden var de i de helt rigtige farver til dagen.
