As the doctor told me: walk as less as possible and cool my ankle, I spent saturday afternoon on the couch with Ally and Ben & Jerry's. This started boring me around 9 pm, so I decided to go out anyways. I put on my new shoes and my new shirt and went with my friends from Aboulevard to Vesterbro, which is another trendy district of Copenhagen. Apparently the places we normally go out are reserved for tourists and people from suburbia, and we were about to get the real Copenhagen Experience. And we got it...walking through the meat-packing district, where at first it seemed there was nobody, we first went to a really cool bar called Jolene, only Danish people there and all dressed in their weird fancy Scandinavian way. The bar was fun and the music was nice, but we decided to move on afterwards to another thing where we had used the bathroom before. I call it "thing", because I don't know any other description that fits it. Some weird underground club thingy, the entrance "hall" and the first room we went through to the actual dancefloor party room were lighted by neon lights, there were tabletop football tables and all that made the atmosphere really strange...especially because from brightly lit hallways we entered the partyroom which was only lit by some candles. The walls were decorated with huge letters (where the candles stood upon), drawers and cupboard doors and the furniture around looked like from bulky waste. Still, I liked the music and the atmosphere, though the fact that they served free pitchers of iced water and people drank directly from the pitchers made me suspicious. Just look at the pictures to see what I tried to describe...
On sunday I went to visit Roskilde, the former medieval capital of Denmark which is located 25 minutes left of Copenhagen at the Fjord. I visited the viking museum where they have rests of real viking ships they found in the Fjord. The ships themself are not that interesting, but again I was amazed of the Danish ability to build relaxed museums. You just walk around and information comes towards you in some weird kind of way. I normally get bored pretty fast, but the museums don't bore me. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I could dress like a viking and walk on a viking ship...
After the viking museum I visited the Cathedral, which is the graveplace of all the royals of Denmark. It is impressive, though it looks bigger from the outside than it actually is. Still, all the chapels of the different monarchs are really interesting, they're all different. The newest ones are the most boring...so I decided there is no point in being a real princess anymore nowadays. After having a pizza we went out in Norrebro at night and then weekend was over. And as I managed to visit only half of my classes last week this week it was time to go to all of them. And it is also time to start studying for my exams, which I really did. Combined with going out at night this leads to my days looking like this: getting up, go to class, have lunch, sleep,visit museum/something else interesing, study, dinner, study, going out, sleep, getting up...maybe this is not healthy in the long run but for the moment it works perfectly. Tonight I will go and get Coniurata from the station who is visiting me this weekend, so maybe I have to adapt my rhythm back. Still, for now it's study time!!!
