my professor Brian took us on a Kierkegaard tour of Copenhagen, starting outside our classroom
(in the left of the picture in the building)
Kierkegaard studied in the same building.
Kierkegaard's school for k-12 (he hated it. terrible marks. us geniuses do that.)
Peter. my travel-mate in a few weeks. more info on that later.
big church. burned down. re-built.
Brian is seriously cool. Great professor.

that building with the columns is where Neils Bohr was born (Bohrn)
the red building two doors down was where Kierkegaard's mistress lived
a motorbike in a bicycle city
underwater statue of a Danish folk tale
the guy on the left is a merman, the lady on the right is his object of seduction, and eventual murder.
its a popular children's song, and Kierkegaard wrote about it.
This is a creepy country sometimes.
Kierkegaard's family church
the square near my class, one of my favorite walking spots
Kierkegaard's main rival lived in the cream-colored building on the left
Kierkegaard would sit under the tree for hours and mock him publicly.

statue of Kierkegaard's least favorite Danish bishop
Brian and Moses
Moses and Tupac
the home of Kierkegaard's illustrator (with a plaque noting the residence as such)
then Brian took us out for beers. Did I mention he is a great professor?


this is most likely my last update for a few weeks while I jaunt around Europe
get excited.
