I spent Valentine's Day in Cesky Krumlov for an overnight trip with the global students. It was freezing but fun! The town is really little but very rich with history. If you are interested in reading about it, here is a good link:

Ice Skating
I took my students to the "Wiener Eis Traum" for a night of ice skating at the Rathaus and lived to tell about it! I hadn't been skating since I was little (with my Katarina Witt skates), so I was really excited. It was a lot of fun, falls and all. The pictures dont do how gorgeous the set up is much justice, so you'll just have to take my word for it :)
Copenhagen: Day 3
Mikkel took me to see "Den lille havfrue" (The Little Mermaid), which was commissioned in 1913.
"The Little Mermaid symbolizes the fairy tale by Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen... The sculpture pictures her as she sits and looks out over the water, after never actually having married the prince, reminiscing over her lost childhood in the sea, as a mermaid."

Copenhagen: Day 1
As everyone knows, I had such an amazing time in Bangkok and made many wonderful friends. We've kept in touch with each other after going our seperate ways, and Denmark became the the first location of what I hope to be many reunions :)
