Velkommen!
Hello, friends, family, internet. I successfully made it halfway around the world and have made a video telling of my journey. If you're not bothered watching it/your internet is too slow/I talk too fast the gist is:
- Goodbye house, it was warm in Sydney the day I left and snowing in Copenhagen
- Hong Kong airport looks like Sydney airport except the signs are in (presumably) Mandarin. And the security guards look like robots because they wear knee and elbow guards.
- Being stuck in Heathrow for a day wasn't terribly fun (thanks to those who kept me company while my free internet time was still valid).
- The Times was fun to read-- great articles like 'recognise your bird' (with a set of pictures of birds that all Britons should be able to identify) 13 pages of football sport and a sports cover reading 'when will this torture end?' Cricket is wayyyyyy more fun when we're winning!!
- My room was way too quiet so I downloaded iTunes and copied all the music off my iPod onto my laptop (inconveniently, the hold button is stuck on my iPod. Growl.)
- Copenhagen is pretty cold. But when you're outside with thermal pants, jeans, a thermal shirt, cardigan, coat, scarf, gloves and have the hood up and walk quickly, it isn't that bad. (I still have to get proper shoes.)
- I bought this cheese and it smells funny but I don't know if that is just Danish cheese or if it is actually off or anything.
- They have nutella here! Yay for globalisation!
- Anytime you're bored/can't sleep at 4am Sydney time, send me a message-- it'll be 2pm here!
- Oh the really cool thing I mention that I clearly didn't edit out properly wasn't really that cool. The tunnel that you get off a plane splits two ways-- an up ramp and a down ramp to a middle section leading to the plane. The down ramp takes you to arrivals. The up ramp is the one you walk down from departures to get back on the plane. I found that cool.
- Next video (if there is one) will be shorter, I promise!
