Day 1--Getting past the jet lag

My flight left Newark at 5:30 pm and arrived in Copenhagen at 7 am.  Overall it was a smooth flight.  The best part about the flight was Wreck-It Ralph.  On repeat.  There were two bad parts about the flight.  One was the food, as expected.  The other bad part was that the pilot told a funny joke when we touched down in Copenhagen, but the joke was in Danish, which I do not understand, yet.  Anyways, I exchanged my money for kroner (the Danish currency), left the airport, and took a taxi to my apartment.  I soon found out that, unfortunately, my apartment is on the fifth floor, and there is no elevator in the building, either.  So after lugging two suitcases and a backpack up four flights of stairs, I finally unpacked and settled into my apartment.  I then went back downstairs to the first floor since another person in the IQP group, "Andrea," had arrived at her apartment.  We had coffee, which I desperately needed, talked for a while, and then we decided to walk around Copenhagen for a bit.  She had a better idea of where she was going than I was, since she had arrived several days before and had stayed elsewhere.  We walked through a park that had a castle and a museum (I forget the names, and we didn't go inside either), then we walked towards Nyhavn and had lunch.  (I forgot to tell you that for breakfast, I went to this bakery across the street and had delicious chocolate scones.)  I ate a pretty good salmon sandwich, and then we walked down a pedestrian street and then took the S-toget (subway) in order to go back to the apartment.

Here are a few things to note about the apartment.  It has a small kitchen and bathroom, and the shower in the bathroom is weirder than the showers in Stoddard (the dorm I was in my freshman year).  In addition, there is a fairly large common room, a large bedroom (mine and Hannah's), and a small bedroom (the guys'), and the floor of the bathroom radiates heat to my feet, which is good because today was pretty cold and windy, which is normal weather for Denmark.  There are televisions in both bedrooms as well as the common room, but I assume that most of the channels are Danish.  Additionally, while there is internet, it is extremely slow on my computer for some reason, which means I might not be able to post as often as I want.  However, I will promise to do the best I can to get my experiences in Denmark out there.
