Europe: Downtime in Copenhagen

Goddag. That is "hi" in Danish! I'm taking lessons. So far, you have heard from people about all the activities we do in Europe, so I wanted to mix things up a little and show everyone what those in my apartment do in our downtime. I live with Jae Young, Christina, Liz, Steph, Mary G and Jess. In Copenhagen, they go by the moniker "The Babes and Jess". They love to Gchat, as you can see from the following pictures. Skype is pretty big too.





The ever lovable Kerby also resides with me. He and his roommate Tyler Hogan are probably the two best buds in the entire apartment. Here is a picture of them hanging out. The Danish have a word for this called "hygge", which translated roughly means "cozy and snug". It implies shutting out the turmoil and troubles of the outside world and striving instead for a warm intimate mood.



From time to time, we get the occasional visitor who likes to relax with us. For instance, Jamie generally spends his time in the kitchen cleaning dishes.



Another common visitor is Shawn Patrick. He loves his blackberry. He is on it 24/7. He really likes to keep in touch with friends and family. Especially ones in Florida.



Mary Brandon lives a floor below us. She visits all the time and hangs out in our rooms for hours. When she is not here we can just message her.



While we all have our different vices to kill some downtime in our apartment I am particularly proud of what I have been doing. In between reading the Wall Street Journal, The World is Flat, and Atlas Shrugged -- in addition to taking Danish lessons -- I have been working out a bit (too much...NOT).




Thanks for your time, and as they say in Denmark, "Vi ses!" or see you later!
