Way to start the day! This is exactly what one should do every day: Fill the bathtub, make some coffee, and eat yesterdays cheesecake leftovers! In the bathtub! Hell yeah.
I had a plan about staying in bed all day today, and relaaax. But I have somehow gotten into this healthy rythm of sleeping 8 hours, awake refreshed and energetic. So, I guess I’ll have to do some more walking, then.
Yesterday I walked like 12 hours (with a few breaks). I took the bus to the City Marked (too far to walk), where they sell all kind of fresh food. There’s also a Chinese supermarked, where I found sesame seeds for my knekkebrød (in a regular grocery store a tiny little glass costs $6, I don’t really get it)! And I got the coolest t-shirt ever, it’s so shiny.
It still is deserted here. And I have to say I still don’t understand the city, really. Downtown, there still are no people in the streets (I will photo prove this!). There are so many shops (?) that are closed down or just look dodgy. It can’t all change like THIS when the students come back on monday? I have to admit I start to think “What am I doing here?!” when looking around. Like, really?!.. What’s funny is that the guys I’ve met so far have the same reason as me to be here: a scholarship! That’s why people go here!
No, sure I’m gonna give KC a real try, and I am sure I’ll have a blast. I mean it!
Yesterday Andrew was to show me around “First Friday”- that’s every first friday of the month, where all kind of art galleries open, and stores turn into art galleries, and music on the streets and food and you name it. So we went downtown, I was excited about the crazy packed street fair I was about to see. But guess what! The streets were empty! We walked like an hour or something, finally finding some places. Pew. I saw a KC-band (yes, that is a banjo he’s holding):
And we saw art:
This guy looked so unbelievably real! But he was not:
Today I’m gonna meet my roommates, that’s exciting! And I’m gonna, I don’t know, ..walk? It’s still the most beautiful wheather, so I have to get out there.
TTYS!
