Notes

things I think are interesting

  • Most of my friends here have neither middle names nor passports!
  • There is a direct train from Copenhagen (on an island) to Hamburg (not on the island). It goes on a ferry! That is nuts.
  • Of all the slang I say, my friends have become particularly enamoured with “true story” and “lame sauce”.
  • You don’t have to apply to colleges (at least in Belgium & Germany), you just sign up.
  • My friends are surprised that I don’t know some of the words in books I read for fun (and that I look them up in the dictionary)
