Boring Day, Exciting Night

June 19
Today was pretty dull and boring, until the night.  Went to class and had a guide take us around Copenhagen teaching us the sexual history of the city.  Although it was very interesting, by the end of the tour my feet were sore and I was tired.  Got back to my housing where Mick and Kevin wanted to go to Christiania.  This is a place that is self-proclaimed and self-governed neighborhood in the borough of Christianshavn.  It is like a commune and there is also lots of stands where people are selling things such as food, souvenirs, ponchos, rings, etc.  It has a completely different feel than the rest of Copenhagen.  Also, you are not allowed to take pictures inside of Christiania, unless its on the outside.  Afterwards, we came back and went out to a bar called kulørbar (pronounced like "cooler bar").  This bar was very fun and had lots of music, dancing, and free beer all night.  I've learned a couple of Danish words already that have come in handy: øl which means beer, skål which means cheers, and tak which means thank you.
