more CPH

Last night we went to the beaches for the midsummer festival. They light big bonfires and burn "witches" to rid themselves of bad spirits. Netanya and Martha accidently bought non-alcoholic wine for us to drink.

We've been to the Danish Architecture Center again to meet with the Copenhagen X editor. I am inspired to found a Denver X...or something like Copenhagen X in Denver...more to come later, gotta find a new real job first! We also visited BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and some of their buildings, and JDS Architects (Julien De Schmidt). Amazing!!

Yesterday a few of us went to the harbor pool designed by PLOT (Bjarke Ingels' and Julien De Schmidt's previous firm together). There is a 14-meter or so platform to jump into the harbor. So cold! It hits you so hard you feel amazingly, painfully alive. Lots of my classmates were a bit hesitant at first...but I have always been known to jump right into cold, dark water -- especially when the depth is unknown, lol. Sorry Mom.

Talked to Matt via gchat just now. Yay!
