It has been just over a month since Daniel and I arrived to Copenhagen. Already we have explored almost all of Denmark - the major cities anyway. I am looking forward to the weather warming up... in late April I guess. I checked the 30 day forecast and nothing is changing anytime soon. We are leaving some places to explore for the warmer weather such as: Nyhavn, the parks, the little mermaid, and more items of interest particularly close to the sea. In just a couple of weeks we will embark on our long study trip to Sweden and Finland. I am really looking forward to it. This is basically Alvar Aalto's playground. Also, it should be slightly cheaper, heh.
In our Sustainability by Design course we go on site visits just about every class. This week we went to the GreenLight House. I don't really know if it is the GreenLight-House, Green-Lighthouse, or Green-Light-House. Either way, it's not a house. It's an educational facility for students to meet with their advisors. It is carbon neutral and a lot of techniques we learn about it our classes back in the states. Needless to say, Dick Kelso would have gone bonkers. It was nice and simple, with a very pure, white interior - which our 35 pair of snowy feet immediately ruined. I hate traveling in groups. My only complaint is a sculpture hanging from the center. It is an eight armed contraption with tiny mirrors all over it. Two days out of every year the sun ( yeah right) hits it spreading spectacular light all over the building. The only problem is nobody knows what dates, not even the sculptor. Can you say BS. Also, a minor side note, this building was $7 million US. *cough* *cough*
On another note, Congratulations to the Polish study abroad kids for finally getting over to the land of the ice and snow. Have fun guys, and again, this is no joke, watch out for the horse meat.
