Copehagen Day 14 part two - will I wont I

OK tip for the day, do not use google translate, the guy here was telling me his family have a farm and so I looked up a question to find out if it was a farm of animals or crops and apparently some words have double meanings, such as backke can mean tray or hill and for cheers you say schlop which also means bowl as in bowl of fruit.  I have just asked my Danish colleague if his mother is a farm animal.  That was about twenty minutes ago as I have lost that time attempting to apologise and explain I meant is it a family farm with animals.  Germany is looking a lot more appealing to work in right now.
Huge disappointment as I have realised how far south Denmark is, Copenhagen is only on the same latitude line as Edinburgh so the chance of seeing any northern light activity is remote, there’s a chance but very remote.  It is dependent on the strength of the solar storm but shall be looking all the same.  At least the sky has cleared following early morning rain, so if there is going to be something it will give a better chance of spotting it.
