Cykel -- fredag-lørdag-søndag den 30-31-1. juli-august 2010, posted by Robin

In the previous post, I told you about how I don't have my own bike here yet. That information is no longer correct. After playing at various campus playgrounds and stopping in at the younger children's daycare center, we went home, and took some glass to an appropriate bin. Then, Dad and I rode to a bike shop on the tandem. Although Dad spoke no Danish and the shop owner spoke very little English, with enough gesturing they were able to talk and buy a bike for me. My bike is very Danish -- it has a special lock that is built into the bike. On Saturday, I went to the library. They have an excellent selection of English books there. I really enjoyed reading new books and wished that I had my SuperID number so that I could check one out. Today we went for a long bike ride on the quad to nowhere on a road by all these fields that were not very entertaining. My parents said that I should enjoy the bike ride just because it was a bike ride, not because I would get something out of it. They really just don't get how bike rides aren't inherently fun for me. Later we visited some people from the States who had lived in Denmark for 10 years. That was more fun, because they had a trampoline and were happy to have long conversations in English. Trampolines are fun. Here, the playgrounds are more fun, and are not built to avoid lawsuits. They are also a little less safe, though. I will post again soon!
