You're Beautiful, You're Beautiful, You're Beautiful It's True

This post is going to start slowly and then finish with a mighty peak, kind of like a rollercoaster.  I've been a bit slack with this so we are heading all the way back to Wednesday.  Once again I had my mammoth 4 hour lecture on the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union.  Afterwards, I went for a walk in Frederiksberg Have which is this massive park in my neighbourhood which houses Copenhagen Zoo.

On my way round the park I found loads of letters and baby's dummys tied to these trees.  Obviously all the letters were in Danish but I think that it is something they do kind of like the tooth fairy business.
Got home for dinner and to meet my housemate Simon.  He is Danish, studies Physical Education and likes rap music.

On Thursday I went for a walk as the weather was so nice.  Went through the same churchyard as before and found this tree, which I really like.

Also, saw more of the neighbourhood of Nørrebro, including this pedestrianised street filled with cheap cafes and bars, guitar shops and vintage clothes shops.  It also has a square which on Thursday had a stage set up and loads of street art set up.

That afternoon I spent doing some reading for my Climate Change course and I think I have decided what I will write my essay on for this class now.

Friday was meant to rain for the first time in weeks so I decided to go to Statens Museum for Kunst (the Danish National Gallery).  I was interested to see what Danish art they had and Bob Dylan is also exhibiting some of his paintings there until January so I was pretty excited about that.  There were installations everywhere and I bought two books and a postcard (but we will not be going in to how much that cost - lets just say I skipped lunch so I felt more okay about spending that amount.)

This guy had seriously long legs.

Gosh, it doesn't even end there.  Last night I met up with Charlie (from Surrey Uni) who had just arrived in the country and took him to the Friday Bar on campus.  I had an astonishingly good time, mixing with the French, the English, the Danish and some Kiwis.  Met a Danish girl who says she will sell me her spare bike for a crazily low price, so I'm going to try and go see that in the next few days.  Got spotted by a New Zealander who I met on my second day here and he apologised profusely for never emailing me.  All in all I had a lovely time.  At 2am I started walking to the metro station alone as I had lost my friends.  I was walking down Gothersgade towards 10 Danish boys who were being pretty rowdy, so I got ready for some serious ignoring.  To my pleasant surprise, about 8 of them got down on their knees in front of me and two of them held my arms and they all started singing 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt.  I was laughing.  Alot.  After they finished I said very meekly 'Thank you very much' and they ran off.  All this time (nearly a minute probably) my French friend had been standing across the road watching.  Walked back to the metro and back to my apartment with a massive smile on my face.

Also, Simon has just confirmed that my description of him is wholely correct.
