Oh dear!! One more piece of luggage still not here!! And the Danes don't work on Sundays...

Today I went to church with my dad. Twas good, but a loooong walk away. The pastor was from Singapore!! Although he has been away for more than 15 years.

On the way home we stopped at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, across the street from Tivoli Gardens. This is an eclectic art museum about 10 minutes from the apartment, and the collection inside is built around the personal collection of Carlsberg Beer founder Carl Jacobsen. There were sculptures, paintings, and various other forms of arts. I don't really know how to appreciate sculptures or portraits of humans.... but I really really like paintings of water bodies and forests or woods. There was a series of paintings by a Danish painter called Christian Kobke that I really liked, especially one entitled Autumn Morning on Lake Sortedam (1838). It was so pretty.... I had to stare at it for quite a while!

It was quite chilly outside for me today. I haven't been sleeping very well, a combination of jetlag and heartache. But I am quite happy, because there are things I can look forward to for now. Haha today while walking home with my dad, we were thinking, shall we eat out? And almost immediately we both said, dowan lah... let's go home and cook. So expensive to eat out here, and the food also not that great. So we went to Fakta, a supermarket near the apartment, and stocked up the fridge.

I couldn't help noticing how I immediately picked up the basket on the way in and insisted on carrying it for my dad. Haha :P And the basket was grey. Over here, plastic bags have to be bought for 2.50 kroners apiece (about 50 cents US). So we bought 2 and lugged the rest of the stuff home by hand. Danish cashiers are much faster than American cashiers. But I still think I will be fastest!

I saw many Super Cornettos today. But just many other things (or types of yummy food), they are only really nice when shared. With some people.
