I was in town yesterday, and it was a beautiful sunny day, even though they said it would piss rain. It turns out that was moved to today. Anyway, its funny how you suddenly get to the touristy part of town, and everyone speaks another language, but if you stay away from there its just Danish. There were a million Americans down there, as charming as usual. I used to like Strøget, but it seems so crowded and lame now. There's just too many people, and all of the stores are either ludicrously expensive, or very ticky tacky tourist traps. I prefer going up to Østerbro or Nørrebro which are a lot nicer to look at, and less crowded. Yesterday there was a protest against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon at the American embassy, which of course makes a lot of sense. The transpo network was in a total uproar yesterday too because of a derailment or something. Now that's all the Danes can talk about, and there's talk of firing the minister of transport! It seems like they're getting to the end of their ropes for some reason, even though this was the second sunniest month in the entire history of Denmark. Today I'm going to try to find a fascist-stlye fitness hall I've been told about, and buy some replacement bowls for my dad.

huh? Fascist style fitness hall? Why? Are you going to go work out there? Don't be so vague--- give us the scoop!
Well it was apparently built in the 20s when they really venerated the whole 'fit body, fit mind thing' and its a temple to human physical strength. Anyway, I was going to have a swim, but in the end I didn't have time to go. Maybe tomorrow?
