For the past week, I was in Copenhagen with Melanie, which was an amazing time! We met in London, and then took a plane to Copenhagen. We got in really late but we went out and met some of Melanie's friends. We went to this bar called Elephant and Mouse, which was so cute. My favorite place that we went. For lighting, they had wine bottles with candle sticks in them.

The next day we went to the Carlsberg Brewery, which was an interesting experience. We had lots of free drinks!

We also went to the Round Tower which has the best view of Copenhagen from the top. In order to get to the top, you have to walk up a ramp that wraps around the tower. The rumor is that the king at the time didn't want to have to walk up it; he wanted to ride his horse. So a ramp was neccesary. It was a great view from the top! That night we went to one of Melanie's friends music festival. It was a mix of Danish bands singing in English and Danish. There was also a DJ that mixed some interesting music. But none the less, Melanie and I danced the whole time.

One night we went to Melanie's friends place and made chicken parm. It was delicious. It was really fun to be around Danish people. I liked just sitting and listening to them talk, even though they were probably talking about me! I learned one word. Tak, which means thank you. I said that a lot. I still say it every once in awhile.

Melanie and I watched some movies, and ate lots of candy! We went shopping and Melanie took me on a tour of Copenhagen. It was such a beautiful city. It is my new favorite. We saw the palace, the Danish guards, Parliament, the new opera house, the little mermaid. We ate a lot of different food, but my favorite was the Shwarma. It's like a pita with lettice, tomato and chicken or beef and there is this dressing, which I'm not sure what it was. The best part about Copenhagen was that everyone rides bicycles. The bike paths are bigger than the sidewalks. The bikes are cute, with baskets in the front and bells. There is rush hour for bikes!

I flew home on Tuesday, and got back to Swansea at about 7pm. It was an interesting trip home. My train ticket included about 3 changes. One included taking the Tube, and I had absolutely no idea which one to take. So I just kind of jumped on random trains until I got to Paddington Station, which was a gorgeous train station.

When I got back, all the Americans were gathered in one of our flats for a Halloween Potluck Dinner. It was nice to get back and see everyone, after having being gone for an entire week and I got a free dinner!

Halloween was an amazing day. First we had a lacrosse game, that we lost. But it was a home game, so it was nice to have fans! Then we got ready for the Pumpkin Carving Contest that was in my flat. We had jack o lanterns and costumes. And then we went out to Wind Street and had a hilarious night! I was one of the fanta girls with Kaitlin and Rebecca. Obviously, I was green.

The night before I left for Copenhagen, a bunch of us went to a wine and cheese party at a cute little club that overlooked the busy street. It was so much fun!
This weekend, I have a lacrosse tournament in Bath and Sunday there is a festival that I am going to with some of my flatmates.
