turns out i do have wireless in the room! albeit not mine :) it's relatively spacious by university housing standards. it even has a hall! and plenty of storage space. whew! and my fears of having to cart mattress, duvet and pillow back to room went unfounded because while the inventory was only bedframe, desk, shelf and chair, the previous tenant left the bedding too! just needed to buy sheets for oh hallowed shopping mecca and tada! good to go (to sleep). made the pilgrimage to ikea as planned with lovely danish girl in tow.

had fun scouring the many many floors of ikea for solutions for better living and managed to more or less get everything i needed. went on a rampage and bought 3 pots, 2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 drinking tumblers, 2 coffee mugs, 2 forkspoonknifeteaspoon sets, floormat, sheets, toilet brush. and to reward ourselves at the end of the ordeal, there were kr.5 hot dogs! yummy :) i also finally succumbed and bought a 30day transport pass. for the longest time i'd been holding out and walking everywhere but having moved out of the hotel (central) to the room (ulu) there's a limit to how far my little legs can carry me now.

and i made new friends today! met a greek girl, V, from athens, at the housing office and M from copenhagen just outside our building. she very kindly let me in and we spent the next five minutes discussing which key was for what and she joined us at ikea and then lidl (cheap supermarket) and coop konsum (expensive supermarket). i bought detergent but to our horror there are no washing mashines in the building! we've to lug our laundry and washing stuff to another block. but use of the machines are included in our rent so thank goodness no additional charge there.

nothing particularly exciting happened today, save ikea. settling in is good though! need to stock up on groceries next, not had the chance to yet so i've yet to cook for myself. can't wait to break in my new pots :)
