We have had a look around our new town. Feeling very Danish
with our cell phones, riding our bikes with strange Euro locks we have trouble
figuring out, ordering something close to what we intended for lunch.
The town itself is relatively small; we can get anywhere we
need to on our bikes. Yesterday was very hot, it has been quite warm since we
arrived and some days are uncomfortable, probably only because of the
climate we have gotten used to on Haida Gwaii. We realize that we are not
really used to hot summer weather that continues day after day, weeks on end. I
only packed one pair of shorts for the year; I had to buy some new ones at 255
kroner.
The currency takes some getting used to, everything needs to
be divided by 5 to get an idea of what it costs in Canadian dollars, I suppose
at some point we will just think in Kroners and know if something is expensive
or not without having to do the math but we are not there yet.
There are of course many differences when you go somewhere
new but it is the small day-to-day things that tend to make an impact. The
carts in the grocery store for example, all four wheels swivel, awesome.
