This is for Mike Usman, wherever he is. I’m sorry about the whole “Three Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place” thing.
I watched my first full football game tonight - Spain versus Russia. I went with some people from work, including some Spaniards, who wore their flags about their shoulders and their hearts in their [...]

Pretty ironic that what I have come to love most about Denmark (aside from my good friend Ann-Mari) is a cute little band with a Stine and three (or is it four?) Anders - you can’t get any more Danish than those names.

Have been eating microwave dinners and instant soup for one week; I’ve never shat so much in my life. So far I have managed to keep the serviced apartment tidy and my spending under control, which is good. The relocator has been extremely professional in helping me get my residence card and social security number, [...]
