... isn't that great. My mom sent me this whole package with different types of ramen and rice and kimchi and even something similar to jippo (dried fish deliciousness), but when I opened the bag of kimchi the whole house stank up. hahahahaha. I felt horrible, and my little host sister would not step anywhere near me except to pose for a picture of her holding her nose next to my food. The family opened all the windows and the doors, and I had to eat my food freezing. Danes are really homogeneous and seriously aren't 'open' at all.. it's the typical way of life because that's just how it is here. My host family is actually a lot more 'open' to other cultures and all that corny stuff, but last night just proved how Danish they really are. I made my host dad eat some kim and bap and a tiny tiny tiny bit of kimchi and he refused to accept that's what Korean food tastes like. This is the same dude who tried to feed me chop suey jawns and claimed it was Korean food. Whatever, they mean well I guess. But I was getting pretty offended at how he kept saying that couldn't be Korean food; he knows what Korean food tastes like and kimchi certainly wasn't it. hahaha omg. Danes... I need to find a good Korean restaurant soon so I can just eat kimchi in the open and not worry about stinking up the house. Because this specific kimchi really does smell horrible. But I like it :) I know. I'm a barbarian.
The Ungdomshuset was torn down today. After the police moved in a few days ago there have been riots all over the city, and at least 600 people have been arrested, many of whom probably weren't doing any rioting, just there for kicks. I was so tempted to go but I decided against it, which is good because there's no such thing as bail here. If I were arrested, which is highly likely because so many were-including Americans- I would've had to spend the night in jail. The people working on the deconstruction have to wear face masks to protect their identities from the angry teenagers. I heard that the goings on here have made U.S. News- but it's honestly such a tiny thing compared to everything else that goes on in the big world. But for Denmark this is humongo. Like HUGE. Not only just a schism between the youth and the rest of Denmark, but also the evangelicals. And the police. It's crazy how an ordeal that's been going on for the past 20 years has climaxed while I was in the city just 10 minutes away.
I have two midterms tomorrow and all I did instead of studying today was look through facebook and watch the GCC Praise Night videos. omg. And I'm skipping classes on Thursday and Friday to see some FOINE female specimens in London. But I have a midterm on the Monday I get back and two papers due that Friday. damn
