Best. Moment. Ever.

The housing post will still happen, but I had to pop in to share this story. God, I wish I had brought a camera today (or at all to Denmark, now that I think about it. I'm just using my macbook camera to take photos of my dorm, and that's it).

Today, I was walking past where the harborbus picks up (a boat that travels up and down this canal near the center of town). This is, of course, a natural tourist stop, and pickpockets love tourists. So, on the booth, there is a sign (in English) warning that this is a high-zone for getting pickpocketed. Leaning against the side of the booth, not more than a foot away from this sign, is the sketchiest man I have ever seen. Shades, cigarette, hands in his pockets leaning against the booth, his emotionless face silently scanning the streets. He was that guy, for lack of a more descriptive term.

And that pretty much made my day.
