I can't keep track of the days. I honestly don't know what day it is anymore but I do know how many days I'm meant to be somewhere. The dates go over my head and the places are starting to blend. The windows in Europe and all double glazed and not many people here smile. There's a lot of young people on trains who are backpacking and so many different cars that I get distracted that I haven't seen a Commodore until I see an Opel Omega. There's very little Fords and so many cheap BMWs and Mercs. I'm not sure if I'm distracted or noticing something which reoccurs throughout Europe.
This morning I got up at 5, saw that the sun wasn't up yet so had a 15min nap. I got my things ready and left before anyone got up. Glad I left earlier. I was planning on getting the 11am train direct to Copenhagen but now that I'm onboard the train that's been delayed for 20 minutes and now a further 30 minutes to get onboard the fairy, I'm happy I got the 7.12am train. Also I didn't realise there's no restaurant onboard this train (ICE 33) and I have only had yoghurt this morning and an apple. It's noon and I'm slowly dying but lucky I got snacks at the shops. I paid €2 for four fruit and nut bars and it tastes like vomit! Mm. Pass me more.
The fairy was amazing. It was smaller than the Dover to Calais service but a lot newer and cleaner. It was amazing, the train tracks practically joined the road and we pulled into the deck alongside trucks, it was so weird to see. Then we got out and I got lunch and just watched the rest of the ride outside the deck. There's a windfall out in the middle of the sea which is one of the largest in the world. It was purely amazing, the entire experience.
The train overall was an hour late but nonetheless I wasn't too disappointed because the train was actually pretty good. It had a lot more leg room than any plane I've been on, enough for a person to comfortably walk past you. Then there was the modern fittings and information and such. It's pretty good I guess, even if I paid almost three times the amount. Then again I would have only gotten the 11am train and seen less of Copenhagen.
To sum up the city, 7/11. Everywhere. It's everywhere. Probably just as much as Melbourne. Less maccas than Prague. But canals and biles like Amsterdam. A red London phone box. English is widely spoken. They have a metro but no trams like Paris (sort of). There is a modern city mixed with an old city much like Melbourne. Ad the royal residency had wifi! Oh and so does most of the buses and trains. Again maccas has the worst wifi connection, none of them worked. I had to hang outside the palace.
So I'm just chilling on my bed because there's nothing to do and I'm actually tired. The best thing is, the beds a double bed so it's amazingly comfortable. Totally worth the price.
Actually there was one guy at the hostel who is American and studies in Spain. However he speaks Spanish with an American accent and it confused the hell out of me. He said he's studying economics (like I said earlier) but he was so stupid. He asked me how Australia is filled with convicts and such. He spoke so damn slow and he even almost walked out of the hostel to a club without any shoes on. I said to a Canadian guy how dumb the American is and he completely denied it. I won't use that against you Canada, I promise!
Also the guest house I'm in, the first person to talk to me was some old guy. Don't even know they let in older people, I thought it was like hostels with an age limit. Anyways so he was crapping on about how he knows the owner and how coffee is more important than people think because of how the beans are roasted, the water which has calcium in it and such and how Italians don't care about that. How tea has to be 70 degrees (and his was in a soup bowl) and that tea houses are suddenly becoming popular. He said how people should go for tours around cities with local friends. SHUT THE FUCK UP. If I had a friend here do you think I would be paying to stay here? No. Do I give a shit about coffee brewing? No! I don't even make coffees at work correct half the time because the idiots who drink it don't know what coffee even is. "I'll have a latte without froth but put chocolate on top, make it soy, caramel shot, extra strong and extra hot, oh did I mention 4 sugars?" HONEYBADGER DON'T GIVE A SHIT! So I just said I'm going to have a nap now and left. Oh he also explained how he was homeless in Lisbon for a week but made friends with the consulate guy yet has friends in Lisbon. Makes no sense. First I should tour with friends like you do, then you're homeless where you have friends. I see. I see.
