It was a beautiful day today in Arhus! The main road from school to my dorm is a long hill that ends at the water. It was awesome to look out in the distance today on the way home and see the water. When I say a beautiful day however, that doesn't mean it wasn't cold. A few guys from class and myself went down to the beach after school and kicked around the soccer ball (futbol, sorry). I decided to take my shoes off in the sand so that they didn't collect buckets of sand in them. Despite the bright shining sun, my feet froze. Other than the fact that I walked around with numb feet for a while, it was a good time.
I'm sure many of you have heard, but the Mohammed cartoons (originally published in Denmark) created more controversy and violence within the last few days. Yesterday, many Danish newspapers, following the arrest of men planning to murder the cartoonist, ran the cartoon again. Today, a couple Arhus city buses were apparently attacked with rocks in the predominantly Islamic area of town. It is certainly an interesting time to be here.
Interesting fact of the day: they sell beer in the vending machines at school. Crazy!
Hej Hej! (Bye in Danish)

Hej Hej (hello in danish also? i forget),
Is that the origin of that one South Park episode, know the one i'm talking about? There was a big debate about showing a cartoon that made fun of some islamic leader, and there were threats of bombings, or retaliation. I forget who it was (Stan,Kyle, or Cartman) trying to convince tv exec's to air the cartoon since not airing it would be caving into censorship...or something like that. Funny stuff. I think.
