Tomorrow I take my first steps outside Scandinavia since arriving in the EU. I am leaving for Berlin bright and early with a 6:30 flight to Copenhagen. This means I have a very small window of time if I wish to catch the bus. To be safe I had a better plan which is to bike to the airport. It is by no means close at around 13 km away. However it is more reliable because there is only one bus and if I miss it I will not make it on time and if it is late I may not make it on time. So I decided better be safe then sorry. Especially because the sun will already be up at that time of day so it is not like I am riding in the dark. It is still project time so I printed out what has been written on the report (currently around 75 pages) which I will edit on the plane ride/layovers. It seems like a lot but a lot of that is filler space that LaTeX adds in as well as some diagrams etc.
This weekend went by very quickly. We were blessed with more wonderful weather which I took advantage of. Also it is getting to the point where the sun is up past 9:00pm so I am getting really thrown off when it seems like midday or late afternoon but actually it is like 7:30 and I should be eating dinner. Again we had some barbecues but smaller and less organized.
On saturday I went down town to look for a barber shop because I am in desperate need for a hair cut. However I was skeptic that I would have any success. This proved to be true because all the shops were closed. Unlike in the US shops close early on the weekdays and are barely open on weekends. The grocery stores are a little better as they are usually open until 9:00, 10:00, or even 11:00 pm on weekdays and have decent hours on weekends although some close on sunday. Still it was a nice bike ride down town and I enjoyed pedaling around my small but nice city.
