Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

Boy am I excited; it’s my first official business trip. Eight hours a day stuck in a 2×5 meter conference booth, smiling, trying to get someone to come over and talk about vulnerability management.
Seriously, I am excited, but also a little apprehensive because my end of the deal was just the logistics of it. But [...]

I miss my friends. I miss going out, having fun, sitting back and watching the lights switch on and off. Driving down Edsa at two in the morning with the windows down, singing along to the radio, telling stories from high school that we never told anyone else.

We got to the park, called [...]

So I got myself a bike because everyone in Copenhagen rides one. Seriously, cars are much too expensive, and the bike system is comprehensively detailed; bike lanes in practically every street, elaborate hand signals, bikes with baby carriages, baskets decorated with plastic flowers, the works.
I tried out the smallest adult-sized bike they had in the [...]
