Portfolio

Since I've already got my feet firmly planted on my soapbox, I might as well announce that I've made a portfolio blog.  It's basically a place-holder for a real website that will be made (hopefully) this summer.  Anyway, check it out here.  And here's a sample of what you'll find...                                  

food shopping

This is Netto, where I go shopping almost every day.  They're on every corner, and I've probably been to about 15 different ones since I've been here.  The style here is to go shopping every day or every other day.  The fridges are smaller, the apartments are pretty compact, so it just makes sense, plus then it's all fresh!  

In general, the food isn't too different from what I'm used to.  The only things that are hard to find are smooth peanut butter and maple syrup.  Fish products rule the markets here, as well as very dense, grainy rye bread, and salted black licorice (don't ask).

L’Aquila earthquake

All of my thoughts are in Italy right now after the terrible earthquake there this morning (see nytimes article here). I'm hoping that it hasn't effected my friends in rome. Its so sad that the beautiful old buildings and towns that carry so much history are also so delicate.

first days of spring!

Friday was the first sunny warm day that I've seen since I've been in Copenhagen, and the city seems like a totally different place.  The sidewalk cafes are now packed with people, there's tourists everywhere, and I can buy an iced coffee without getting strange looks.  Today I sat with my friends in a huge park for a couple of hours and it almost could have been summer.  I also got a visit from Miles, on of my friends from RISD, and we went to the top of The Round Tower which has a great view of the city.  That dark line on the horizon is Sweden!

Malmo poster

I found this awesome poster on my last trip to malmo and 

revisited it last week. It looked so much cooler in the sunlight 

than it did last time.
