Rest in peace my plastic little Ikea cutting board.

So cooking has proven to be more difficult than I thought. First of all my kitchen is not very big. And by not very big I mean that I have NO counter space. I have two burners next to my sink and the table which I am assuming is where I am suppose to eat. So this morning I was cooking some scrambled eggs for breakfast because I was trying to find something to put ketchup on. Gross to some I know, but the ketchup here is like nothing I have ever had before. It is ten times better then Heinz. Its like ketchup, BBQ sauce and steak sauce all rolled into one. Anyway back to my point, I was cooking the eggs as well as boiling water for tea. Because I have a lack of cupboard space as well, I store my plastic cutting boards behind the burners.......it is safe to say I won't be using my back burner anymore.

Another interesting thing in Copenhagen is the fact that not very many people have cars in comparison to what I am used to. Cars are taxed very heavily here making them 3 times as expensive as in the states. So because of that when you see cars, they are mostly expensive cars. You will see taxi's that are mercedes and millions of BMWs. They want to push for public transportation and bikes. But the bikes are crazy. For a city so big on pedestrians they are not very well protected. I saw an older man get hit by a bike because he was walking across the road and happened to be in the bike lane at the same time a bike. I myself have several times been dinged at because I was inadvertently standing in the bike lane instead of the sidewalk. Also cars don't stop for you. I have almost been hit by various BMWs, a Mercedes taxi as well as city bus and yes, even the construction tractor/crane thingy near my residence hall. They just honk avidly and hope you start to run.

Anyway off to Berlin tomorrow morning. I am sure I will have some photos and stories Sunday night.
