tiger.

i'd like to dedicate a post to tiger, my new favorite store in the world. this is something i can now say with some certainty, considering my travels have taken me to more than one continent.

tiger (pronounced tee-yuh) is the danish equivalent of a dollar store. there you'll find an unimaginable variety of items for overtly reasonable prices. not only are things cheap; they're adorable. brittany (my roommate from vanderbilt who has also journeyed to københavn with me) told me the store looks like i invented it. there you'll find everything from tiny brightly-colored bathroom trash cans to salt and pepper shakers shaped like toadstools. they have an unbelievable variety of colorful candles and they offer a wide selection of school supplies. it's incredible. unfortunately, i failed to take pictures of the interior of the store, but i have a break between classes tomorrow that i'll likely use to document it for your enjoyment.
what i do have documentation of, however, is the spoils of my visit to tiger.

i brought all of this home for a grand total of $16. and people said living in denmark was expensive...

my lovely bowl. our room came with dishes but no legitimate bowls. i say "legitimate" because we did receive bowls but they're the fancy flat kind you find at olive garden.

here you can see my mustache socks (also purchased by brittany) and my mustache blanket (also purchased by taylor). popular items for obvious reasons.

my mustache bag.i'm very happy to have this guy. because denmark is a "green" country, you have to pay for plastic bags in the grocery stores. now i'll always be prepared in style.

my map of europe. brittany had the brilliant idea to get a map and use the heart stickers (seen in previous photos) to mark the places we've been. i followed suit. i hope to come home with a map full of love.

tomorrow is my first full day of classes. however my first class doesn't begin until 11:40. looking forward to the chance to catch up on sleep and gear up for a busy day. i go until 6:00pm. it'll take me a while to figure out a reasonable eating schedule.
i'll leave you with a picture of the train i'll be catching to class tomorrow. the bus drops me off closer and has a stop closer to school, but i just love the train because it's so different from all of my transportation options in the US. i sense this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

kærlig hilsen,
