Every Man Is An Island

I stand by that. But clearly some men are island chains. Underneath, they are connected...

Today is Friday.

Wednesday afternoon was spent seeing some museums. Wednesday has been dubbed official museum touring day because most of them are free. We hit up the National Museum and Thorvaldsen's Museum. I'm pretty sure that in like 2 hours we only made it through 20% or so of the National Museum. We then had to give it a break. There was simply way to much to see and read. Next, we went to Thorvaldsen's Museum. Thorvaldsen was some dude who brought a whole ton of statues or casts of statues back from abroad. I think they were mostly from Greece. Anyway, that place was more awesome. It was smaller, had less reading, and had more impressive big stuff. I got some pics that I'll upload. There was this room with a biggy Jesus. Then his apostles were hanging out too. It was cool.

Afterward, we were famished. We made a new thing called the China Box Sandwich Challenge. It was pretty kickin'. It consisted of a choice of 3 things from the China Box of like rice, noodles, chicken, shrimp, or spring rolls and a pizza sandwich from the Sandwich. The sandwich is actually called the Honkey Tonk Cafe, but the sign is old and still says sandwich. For a mere 55 kroner it was very fulfilling.

Thursday was quite the long day. We had a guest lecture from the Danish Brewer's Association at their offices. We then went to the famous Carlsberg brewery for a tour, but it was under renovation. It was still cool though; they gave us free drink tickets. So I got 2 .25L beers and split a 3rd for free. That was like noon. Let the drunkfest begin. We decided to wander over to the park. I had to pee real bad so while we were in the hedge maze I gave it a go. That was first bad thing I've done here, but I'm pretty sure that I see drunks on the streets of Copenhagen doing it all the time. It was also real nice out. So we made it back to the hotel, threw on some shorts, and got some beers. John, who had never gotten drunk before, and I got 2 beers each and went and chilled in Grommeltorv. We just sat by the fountains and drank. We ran out so we went to the seven eleven to get more. This time I got the Elephant beer which is 7.2. It was awesome. We got another and were thoroughly drunk by like 5. I took John's drunken virginity.

He ended up passing out for the night, but I went school to check some emails and upload pics. That was rather difficult.

Later we got some China Box again and more beers. I passed out when we got back and woke up this morning at 7 am for class. It was sucky!
