Arrival in Denmark!

Ahhh I made it! Just by the skin of my teeth actually, I way underestimated the security lines at Dulles, I was being called over the intercom by the time I got to the gate. By the time I boarded I was getting stern looks from the towering flight attendants- SAS's slogan is "the most punctual airline in Europe." Oops.

We got to Denmark about 10 minutes early, and the first thing I noticed was the dark. To be fair, our flight landed at 705 but even from 38000 feet there was no trace of sunlight on the horizon. Just by chance I met up with my roommate by the baggage carosels which was great luck since navagating Copenhagen with 200 pounds of luggage before any bussinesses are open served more difficult than either of us had anticipated. Eventually we ended up taking the taxi to this great hostel Sleep In Heaven which is a really easy walk to the Forum metro stop and has beds in the 6 dorm room for like 35 bucks. The atmosphere is realy great and as you can see theres free wifi, and I would reccomend it for anyone trying to travel here on a bugdet.

So far, what I've noticed about the Danes is that they are a very quiet and clean people. Not sure exactly how I'm going to adjust to that, but I'll keep you posted.
