I think I slept in until 1pm so when I ate breakfast it was
really lunch. Though I wasn't in desperate need of clean laundry I decided it
would be good to familiarize myself with the laundry room. The directions were
in Danish, but I figured my way through it. In addition to my clothes I cleaned
my room while I was waiting. I briefly met Stephen, one of my new neighbors, as
he was moving in and I was going out. He's from Denmark, but his mother is
American so he's half American. Again I didn't have Dang's bike at my disposal so I
headed off to the bus stop. I was on my way to a dinner for people involved
with or interested in the DTU prayer group I had learned about on Wednesday. To
my surprise I actually met up with some the group, two of which I had met
before, at the Lyngby bus station where we had to change buses. This was
fortunate because I only had a vague idea of where I was going. However, the
other day when I was lost I had accidentally rode my bike past the dormitory we
went to. Allwin was our chef for the evening and he made us Indian food. There
were also two new friends that he met through Facebook that were from India as
well that were temporarily staying there. Allwin intentionally made the food less spicy
than the traditional food which was very gracious of him. Things weren't quite
ready when we arrived so the five of us that came on the bus just had some time
to get to know one another. Josh and Kim I had met before. The dinner was
delightful and we even had ice cream for dessert. The ice cream was much
lighter than I expected because it was mixed with whipped cream which was very
good. Since we didn't help prepare the food we volunteered to help clean up and
eventually formed an assembly line for cleaning the dishes. Soon it was time
for us to go and for Allwin to go dumpster diving for food. He assured us that
the food we ate was not from a dumpster, but apparently there is a lot of
perfectly fine food that is thrown out in Denmark because of rules and
regulations. We took the bus back to Lyngby station and Vladimir came with me because
he lives near Herlev too.
