Nana

Meet my wife. Although no photo will ever do Nana justice, I had to post this beautiful Dane right away. Last night a bunch of us went out to a house party of one of the professors in the Architecture school. There I was, chatting with some new Danish people, when I was taken aback as Nana came into the room. She walked right up to me; her hair at the time restricted to a bun and introduced herself. I was smitten from the first hello. We proceeded to talk about Denmark, her experience as a ballet dancer, her recent injury keeping her from dancing, and her recent travels to Thailand. The conversation could have been 45 minutes or 3 hours...I had lost all track of time. I was ready to propose...but then the plot thickens.

Turns out Nana has a boyfriend. There at the party. He is a model. Looks like a thinned out Danish equivalent of Brad Pitt. He is just in my way at this point. I can't believe my luck. I am finally talking with a beautiful Danish woman (with perfect English), and she is dating freaking Brad Pitt. "Brad" has some very curious quirks.

So, in some countries you bow, others shake hands, and even some say hello and goodbye with a kiss of varying amounts on the cheeks...but "Brad" as developed his own "friendly" vocabulary...he bites you. Not like a vampire or anything, just a little nibble. Needless to say, if I could have vaporized him, I would have.

We head from the house party, off to a really cool club a few meters away. Nana tells me once we are outside, that she has recently purchased a scooter, and asks if I would like to see. Of course. We go and look. It is beautiful. Brand new, and she is very taken with it. She offers me a ride. Are you kidding me?? Of course. We take it for a cruise around a couple blocks. I should have coaxed her into riding away to Paris or London or something, to forget about "Brad" forever. Eventually we end up at the club, and hit the dance floor. I don't know what it is about ballet dancers and club style dancing, but they are always phenomenal.

The obstacle is still there...but I have just over 3 weeks...we WILL see each other again...wish me luck ;)
