I eventually went upstairs to watch the parent trap with the girls, and once that was over and Tine and I were sitting in my room looking at a Danish children's book, Ulrik and two of his friends cruise into my room wearing knee length pea coats, and Ulrik invites me to go out with them into København. By the way, it is now 12.30 am. but of course I can't turn my first opportunity to go out with a Dane down, so I say of course, and Tine helps me quickly throw on a cute skirt, her skinny jeans, and ballet flats. I met the boys in the kitchen and we headed out to the car. They immediately turned on very loud European techno (and don't worry, his friends hadn't been drinking at all) and started singing along. Then Shakira's world cup song came on, and they played it twice in a row. They love it! it was cracking me up. we got into copenhagen very quickly and parked one block away from my classes. then we went to a bar directly next to wear I take classes, and the streets were packed with people. It was so strange because it was so different than during the day. And I had no idea that my classes were located in one of the best areas in all of copenhagen to go out on the weekends. At the bar, the boys got me a beer, and Lizzy showed up to hang out with me. We only had to fend off a few guys, and Ulrik and his friends helped us feel right at home with all of the Danes. It was great, but eventually time to move on, so we went to a club, in fact, supposedly the nicest one in copenhagen. it had a swanky entrance and a fish tank and up the elevator, the club was entirely white: floors, chairs, tables, dance floor, etc. Ulrik's friends bought an expensive bottle of Vodka and stuff to mix it with, and it was actually pretty delicious but by this time of night, Lizzy, Ulrik, and I weren't really drinking except to taste it. we all decided to leave after a while, and it turned out to be around 5 am. I could not believe it at all. the streets were still packed with people! Ulrik went to sleep in his car while his friends went to another bar adn lizzy and I went to the trains station, where we slept on eachother's shoulders for 45 min waiting for the train. when the train pulled out from underground we were shocked and horrified to see that it was getting light out. we went to her house and went to sleep as fast as possible, but not before 7 am. Long night, and it was really a cool experience, but not one I need to repeat anytime soon. I don't really like giving myself jetlag.
I can't write more now, but sunday, monday and today have all been eventful, so I will try to write tomorrow and put up lots of pictures.
