This will sadly be my last xanga entry for my Copenhagen life. I am packing my things now and am doing a lot of "last times" (You know what I mean) These four months have been an unbelieveable, amazing and wonderful experience that I would do again in a heartbeat. I cannot believe it is already Christmas. It seems like yesterday I was packing clothes thinking "I am going to freeze because I do not have any real winter clothes." As with most situations like this my feelings are bittersweet. I am sad to leave this period of my life, the friends I have made here, but I am also looking forward to renewing old relationships my family and friends again. I know this experience has changed me for the better.

Things I am going to miss:
My host family
My Friends that were a part of this experience
Beautiful Danish Women
Danish Lifestyle
Riding my bike everyday
Danish Food
European Music
Beer
Places open after 2am
Schwarma
Danish Style
Hygge
Free Healthcare
Tivoli
Hot Dog Stands
Being European

Things I am looking forward to:
My Family and Friends
Cheaper everything
My Car
Music
Things in English
Basketball and the Mavs
Warmer Weather
Longer Days
Easy SMU classes
Free Night and Weekend Minutes
Jack in the Box
Taco Bell
Wal-Mart
Customer Service
Decent Food Portions
Dedman Center
Last Semester at SMU
Nice Cars
Smiling People
Guitar
Piano
My Shoes

See you all soon. Mark

hello everyone!

i am currently in the largest club in eastern europe! they are so big, they have an internet cafe! Prague is an amazing city.  and yes they have Absinth! Ok you all know about drunk dialing, well this is drunk xanga-ing because usually clubs don't have internet cafes. So yes! I love Prague!


Well I finished my exams yesterday. What a good feeling. Last night, had a good night chilling with my Danish friends, and now I am going to Prague for a couple days! Off to the airport!

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, It's Mark!

So as a study break last night, my fellow mustang Sam, and his Danish roommate, Jen, invited me to go on a night flight in a single engine plane. So instead of hitting the books, I hit the runway. The plan was to take a tour over Copenhagen, but as we were about to enter Copenhagen airspace the air traffic controller would not let us in because there was some election going on. So instead we flew over other cities, still an amazing experience. Here are some pics of my adventure.

Good ol' American Plane!


Me and the Plane


Call Number...Jen complained about saying the name because it was registered in US and the form is different than Denmark


Amazed by a prop


In the air, Co-Pilot Mark Lau


Passanger, Sam Green


Pilot, Jen


It was such an amazing experience. One minute, we were driving on the runway in the car, then we were driving on the runway in the plane, then we were flying. We were flying so low that the city looked like a minature town. It was weird to have so much control over a plane! I can't wait to do that again, Thanks Jen and Sam. now I definately want to go skydiving. Anyone down?

Then we went back to Sam and Jen's place to study. Jen's apartment has Danish style, not all Danish people live with DAnish style, but most that can do, I do not think these pictures do justice but it kinda gives you the idea of Danish inspirations. This is basically how I want my bachelor pad to look.





Only one more presentation on Monday then I am off to Prague for a couple days! Then back home on Christmas eve! This semester went by too fast, I can't believe its already Christmas.

Looks like I'll be a pedestrian the rest of my days in Kobenhavn. My daily companion I referred to as "Stang" has be stolen.

Every step I take
Every turn I make
Every single day
Every time I walk
I'll be missing you

Thinking of the day
When you went away
What I like to take
How I like to brake
I'll be missing you
