Today I went to a soccer game (football, I suppose) with some people that I met here last night. Copenhagen won! The game was completely broadcasted in Danish, so we had pretty much no idea what was going on the whole time besides obviously the game itself. The announcer would say something and the entire stadium would erupt in cheers and we would just look at each other, confused, and try to figure out what exactly was happening.
My personal favorite moment of confusion was when, at about 15 minutes into the game, the crowd inexplicably went INSANE. And I mean seriously, seriously crazy. All of the sudden (and keep in mind here, the score was 0-0 still) people whipped out neon colored pool toys and started throwing them all over the stadium - up in the air, at each other, even onto the field itself. And on top of that, some high powered fog machine covered our entire section of the stadium in smoke! Here is a (foggy) picture of the ordeal. (PS - we still have no idea what this was, and if anyone knows we would really like to!)
Other than the game my weekend was pretty low key - explored my neighborhood a bit, watched a few movies with nice people and pretended to do a little homework. I also attempted to drink a glass of wine that I purchased (all by myself!) but, turns out, $6 wine reeeeeally tastes like $6 wine and I ended up giving most of it away because it was so gross. I actually have my first test tomorrow afternoon but am having a bit of a hard time getting myself to do work... it's like finals week all over again...
