Me: "Hi!" (it's the same but you say it differently kind of, like Scandanavian-ly... ha)
7-11 chick: "Hi!"
7-11 chick scans my soda and says how much it costs in Danish, I have no idea what she says but hand her a large bill so I can't be wrong.
Me: Tak! (thank you)
Her: Hi Hi! (which means bye, it makes me laugh every time haha)
So there. she did not even know I was not Danish! AND i got asked for directions while waiting for the train yesterday. of course i had no idea what they were saying but still. I am fitting in! How exciting!
BIG NEWS.
I ATE CHICKEN YESTERDAY. ON PURPOSE.
I stupidly figured that Denmark, being an objectively liberal country, would have a lot of vegetarians. Well, they don't. So i am trying to ease into chicken (just chicken and maybe ham, no red meat) because all I have been eating is bread pretty much. They have maybe 1 vegetarian option at most restaurants. So anyway... crazy.
We went to an Irish pub last night (there is always live music at Irish pubs here, usually it's smelly old guys but they are usually good and play American songs which is fun... Denmark does not really have music of their own). Anyway, someone asked where I was from and I said California, to which he replied "Oh. I though you would be more...brown." Ha, I come to the only country where people are whiter than me and still get crap for being pale.

Wow! So much going on... First of all, glad to hear things are going well. Your stories are incredible and your writing is amazing--you've already taken over as the artist in the family and it looks like you'll be the writer in no time... How did the chicken go? That's a pretty big piece of news you've just dropped in there...
7-11? Now you're eating local fare with flair!
I've always considered chicken a kind of "gateway meat". Oh it starts innocently enough. But before you know it you'll be stealing from that old lady on the train to score your next batch of Frikadeller. I've seen it a hundred times. ;)
Keep the posts coming. They're great!
