An antipodes' panorama

Day 80:

I have managed to infiltrate and blend with the Danes like a quaintly accented spy a la "Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko". They do not suspect I'm trying to eat them out of bacon and pastries (the staple foods of a typical and quintessential Dane) and emasculate their men (on and off the rugby pitch), undermining their entire society and leaving it vulnerable to an Australia invasionary force.

In addition to these Alpha objectives, some supplementary objectives have been achieved by the Whitemare (me).


Things such as attending the ballet, pictured here (and various foods obvs):

Just killing Peta at Brick Stack (jenga for those not in a topsy turvey world)

Also my cousin came to visit and proceeded to be kicked out of the lowliest club in the entire country. Just exemplifying that being drunk and belligerent is inherently genetic and that I should probs stop resisting it. She did jump the fence with my kitchen-mate Ane, drunk/short/white ninja girls clumsily rolling and boosting each other of a metre high fence (and both having the war wounds to show for it). On the upside of that low key tuesday we ate some amazing shwarma/donner/kebab/yiros/gyro and chocolate on the go. I also verbally committed to my cousins now 3 person band English for runaways, consisting of a keytarist, ukulele and me the accordion player. Should be a winner.

playing a few more rugby matches also. sneaky pre-game selfy.

Also my fair share of TV shows and studying have been undertaken. Im also becoming a adequate chef (ladies..), guided mostly by re-runs of the 90's television masterpiece Iron Chef!

Now off to lunch before i go catatonic and the entire last 3 years have been for naught.

Velkommen,

Welllll hello there. 2 months down and time has just be flying by. Well and truly into the semester and picking up how the Danish university system operates (which is vastly different to Aus, for my courses anyway) and doing my best to keep afloat amid the reading, beer drinking, classes, rugby and general living events. We have bars at our campus every friday, which are cool and then it seems as if there is a party at my kollegium every week. As seen here, with the Belgian roommate and I.

I'll give a general overview of how my time is spent here. 25% university, 10% rugby, 15-20% partying
shopping for food 10% (i eat a lot and often) gym 5%, with the remainder spent sleeping and watching some TV shows and movies. Student life eh? not so bad. apart from the studying bit its just like being unemployed.

Fuuuuuuarrrrrrkkk, i have been smashing the pastries and cakes here just quietly. The danes do there baked goods so well its ridics. That should be enough incentive for you to come here alone, but they also have a massive selection of bacon, beer and biddies.

Also had my dad visit this last week which was awesome, he was able to come out to a rugby game and watch us carve up a team from Jutland. Then we trekked around Amager and Christiahavn, sight seeing and what not.

few pics:
Heres my rugby team btw FRK:

So all in all its been an eventful end to September, with its fair share of ups and downs (of which is not all peachy, as living here, things do go wrong and some not so fun times are had) but the good faaaar outweighing the negatives. As an example having a good time eating some pastries and writing my blog about my travels while listening to some beastly tunes (Clockwork- BBBS thanks brother)

Here are some more pics from some of the events, Like Tour de chambre (our kitchen/roommate party) and other associated kollegium soirees.

god fornøjelse!

Vi ses!!

Undervisning & The Autumn schedule.

G'day all,

First time reporting in since finishing my fantastical language course and beginning the tough slog which is:

Økonomisk (economics) and statsvidenskab (political science) .

So I've finally been able to sort my classes and timetable, which has me attending every day but Thursday

but no more than 3 hours each day, and a class clash on Friday mornings. So I guess this is ok? We

will see how it pans out I guess. I might have to change my UFC class and the unit of Breakdanceology for a 

double class on "Aliens" (They have some pretty sweet courses at KU, you should check it out for sure)

But in all seriousness I have Finance, trade theory, macro and IR in the 3rd world. Its informative and 

well structured, deffo recommend for those of you looking for a renowned and reputable university to

study at.

Here it is (very picturesque for an old Hospital): 

So obvs i have taken this opportunity to party and get to know lots of interesting people sit in my room and

watch the Workaholics and read some books. I'm an outrageous individual.

On a more lewd note, I did have a mentor welcoming party last Friday to which I attend with a few mates.

Was going swimmingly up until the bright idea of purchasing 3L of vintage James Hardy wine. And then

suddenly its the morning and I'm left bewildered as to why I feel like I tried to eat a grenade. Piecing my

night back together saw me attend several parties (some of which I was invited to, mind) and then pilfer

several slices of tea cake from some poor innocent bystanders table. Fair to say I'm done with hvidvin.

Pics: (TBA)

Conversely, my rugby team (the great FRK) made the super league, which entitles us to play across the 

country against other qualifying teams, which should be chill. Also Danmark beat Norway in the Viking 

Tri-nations. Good stuff.

Not sure what else you loyal plebs want to read, so feel free to add suggestions.

I am endeavoring to dust off my camera and show you guys what the Dylman gets up to on the reg.

 Should be mad nuts.

Weathers been awesome-sauce. Looking to get a bit chillier though.

Plenty of hyggeligt gange and more to come i hope.

Signing off while listening to some Aus Hip-hop and making Bacon and eggs

XOXO

The end of the beginning

Well, its been a crazy-busy last few weeks. Tomorrow is my final oral exam for the danish language course and then its off to begin proper classes. biuriful. But here's a run down of the last 2 weeksish.

The rugby season (for me) has started and I was able to score a try in our first game and contribute somewhat from the wing and later, no.8 positions. We still lost unfortunately, even with my admirable attempts to provoke the opposition Danish players. (a couple of dust ups almost ensued on my behalf, just making friends all over the shop)

Here's one of me from the first game not being able to stop their fat-arse fly half from scoring. (only pic i could find)

Second game played out much like the first, with some moments of scintillating rugby followed by mistakes, turnovers and penalties on our behalf. Both times we have been easily able to win but to no avail. Hopefully i can get out of blind wing and into outside centre or flank next match. On a slightly related note, both times I've had to ride home from the games on my bike, the first time in a pair of shorts only due to blisters and a lack of clothes (had me looking like a homeless man around Christiania (which is the norm)) and the second game i was lost for a cumulative total of 2 hours, biking around outer CPH like a bewildered, alabaster retard.

In other events i, along with other Aussie udviklingsstuderende headed to Malmö for the Sunday to catch Malmöfest, a fete type event with live music, food stall and general good times. We stopped by the beach on the way and swam in the non-seaweed, jellyfish infested, deep waters of Malmö's least rocky beach؟؟؟؟؟
Here's a few f*cking pictures.

Swedish Ikea (top meatballs and Danish)

Peta just loving the 2.25% alcohol we can buy.

This is near to the place where i ordered a burrito entirely in Swedish (ladies.. ;])

Also got a new bike ay, maybe bunny hops and skids have ensued.

Lastly had a mad international moment when my google chrome offered to translate an English-Swedish translation into Danish. Subtle signs I should be a polyglot.

Im out like a girl scout.
See you around, Space Cowboy

P.S. Check out the Pizza from last night (and protonz with 3kgs of PB) Dat dreamer bulk/10
