Well, I can tell I'm bored by the pictures I've taken. There have only been a handful and I'm even repeating myself. I've been pretty tired during this trip and haven't felt a desire to venture out into Aarhus more than absolutely necessary. I've been in bed and asleep by 10 p.m. each night and up before 6 a.m.
And today has been my longest day at work in the Denmark headquarters - from 8:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. as we prepare for our big exposition in Vienna. But it was a good day overall and we did actually move forward in the end. And the boss ordered pizza for us all -- granted, it was Danish pizza but it was still the best I've had over here so far! I just didn't have any of the pizza with shrimp on it.
View from my digs.I have also managed to avoid going out to eat - last night I went to Mad&Vin (Food and Wine, and a play on Magazine, I think) after I hopped off the bus. Bought some solbaer preserves (black current) and some "mature" Irish cheddar (I hate the immature cheddar - so rude!) and some fresh bread. It was a nice European dinner and it required no vexing attempts to avoid mayo and get the attention of wait staff.
I don't think I'll make my curfew tonight. It's already close to 10 p.m. and I need to wind down a bit before turning it. Strangely, as much as I didn't want to come to Denmark again this week (Come On! It's my SIXTH trip here in SIX months - a guaranteed 15 hours travel time minimum!) I find I'm feeling pretty relaxed about it, pretty comfortable with my existence here, which is usually neither relaxed or comfortable. But I'm used to the frustration of not understanding Danish, I'm used to the currency, the bus schedule, the drunken revelers here on the Aboulevarden. It is what it is. That's something.
Good night.
