Ugly Naked Guy

Today was the start of funny memories in Copenhagen. After our morning Settlers game Samuel showed me onto the balconey (pictured above), it was a bit chilly so I took a blanket and we sat soaking in the vitamin D! Soon Samuel left to go to the gym, and I remained for a bit longer. I decided that a cup of tea and a book would be perfect, however, when I went to the door I found that it was very hard to open, and there was no doorknob on the outside of the door. I went back and sat down and thought, hmm...that is strange, I don't remember it being that difficult for Samuel to open. About this time I noticed Erik leaving on his bicycle, not wanting to appear ignorant on how to open doors (even ones without knobs), I silently watched him leave. Soon I began looking for other options: 1)Jump, however the concrete ground* was about 12 feet way, 2)Crawl over the railing and slide down the *pole holding up the balcony, 3) Jump into the *tree that had very flimsy branches. All of these were okay, but then I remembered that once I got down I wouldn't be able to get into the house because the doors are always locked and I didn't have my key, and the doorbell is a bit sketchy. I decided to soak in a bit more vitamin d. Then I noticed that the sun was beginning to go behind a building and it was getting colder in the shade (I was only wearing a t-shirt, sweats and thin socks with my blanket). I thought about calling out to a stranger passing by the front of the house, but was much to pridefull for that sort of thing. So I resorted to knocking on the door and peering in the window...nobody heard me. I did this several times, I tried to pry open the door, still nothing... after numerous times of trying this, and two hours later, Erik came home and I called to him from the balcony. "Hi Erik, can you help me, I'm uhh...stuck" He soon rushed to the door and let me in...I must interrupt and let you all know, he is older and married...He made me a cup of tea and I put on some warmer clothes and socks! My feet took quite some time to warm up!


At dinner time, Liv (Erik's) wife happened to be sitting near the window and suddenly said, "Why do people do the dishes naked?" Everyone began to look at each other strangely and suddenly someone said, "what are you talking about?" Liv replied, "the neighbor, he's doing the dishes and it doesn't appear that he has any clothes on"...I suddenly started chuckling and felt as if I was in an episode of Friends with Ugly Naked Guy!

By the way, Samuel locked me out on the deck, claiming it was an accident.
