Chairs, Chairs, and more Chairs

I have now completed my first week in the furniture program here in Copenhagen. It has been a really fun first week with a ton of field trips where we were able to go to show rooms and museums that display the various Danish designed chairs. They are all quite beautiful in their own way, and I have come to realize that no matter how unique my idea for a chair may seem, it has been done before.

Yesterday, at one of the showrooms, after receiving a delicious glass of wine from the hosts, we watched an old video on Alvar Aalto and his work. The film was extremely old, and had spooky Hitchcock music throughout a documentary, which seemed like quite the odd pairing.

In the evening, we all went out on the town. It was the first time this week we have been able to go out and have some unencumbered fun. We found our way to a nice little club/bar and danced the night away.

What I wouldn't give for peanut butter! It is $15 bucks here for freaking peanut butter! Can you believe it?? The grocery situation here is pretty bleak. There are very little familiar items at their stores, and figuring out a way to make a meal in our little haphazard kitchen has been quite the challenge. I am going to go and brave the grocery store this morning, and see if I can triumph over the obstacles of the day.
