In Aalborg

Appu and I had an uneventful, almost uneventful, trip to Aalborg. The only excitement came when we were not able to reach Rema or Haema (her cell phone) from Copenhagen airport. We were calling the number but apparently missed dialing the city code. Our helper, an SAA employee, did not know we had to dial the code. So, we decided to try our luck at locating Rema at the train station in Aalborg. Lucky for us, Appu figured out how to make the phone call -- I think he finally woke up. But, Rema had already come to the train station.

We dragged our luggage (of course they have wheels), reached the apartment. Met our neighbors, the Reddys, got our foam mattresses, and promptly went to sleep. Haema was out at a birthday party. When she came in we both (Appu and I) were fast asleep. we woke up to find Haema and her friend, Sofie.

We went out yesterday to do a little shopping. I bought 4 coffee cups (for the Senseo coffee machine). I love the design of the appliances stuff here.

Today, Sunday, we called Delhi and talked to Anu and Rema's mom on Skype. We also figured out that Rema needs a different microphone to use with the mac.

Thats all for now. Time to take a bath and get out again -- in the cold....brrrr....

Goint to Denmark

On Thursday, November 18, Appu and I are going to Aalborg, Denmark for a week. This is our Thanksgiving Holiday week. Appus does not have classes and so do I. Though it is going to be cold, just as it is in Iowa, there is no other time we could go and see Haema and Rema. From what I hear, Haema is gearing up to get into a fight with us. She has been honing her skills with her mom!

Staying alone, while having its own advantages, is quite stressful, especially when one has to manage a house and all of the trimmings that come with it. I am ready to share that work load!

Once we get to Denmark, I will write more.
