Day 10 - Prayer Group Dinner

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.
