The last stop of spring break was the capital of Germany (Tyskland in Danish), Berlin. Berlin, and Germany, have a pretty well known history (Nazi’s, Hitler, WWII), and the recovery period from this has really made Berlin a unique city. 
The fir… Continue reading →

For people that love relatively (aka VERY) unhealthy food, this blog post is for you. The next stop during spring break was the “quaint” (SAT word) little town of Bruges. Before we continue, just for your own personal knowledge, I was infor… Continue reading →

The first stop of spring break was the capital city of the Czech Republic, Prague. Because of expensive plane tickets, my friend and I took a 12 hour bus ride to Prague. It began in Copenhagen, where we drove to a port where we took a ferry across to G… Continue reading →

I have been lacking on the blog posts, and many of them, like this one, are well over due. So I decided I would start catching up with my blog and begin with the first place I traveled to independent of DIS’ study tours. That was the city of Pari… Continue reading →

Well that is quite a bit of acronyms for one title, but it was better than typing out “Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and peripheral intravenous access lessons at the Center for Klinisk Uddanelse” Anyway, on Monday, instead of going to class… Continue reading →

To be honest I still am not sure. If you look at Denmark (no offense) it isn’t the best at any category, and in fact, it’s not the close to the top in most of them either. They are not near the top in terms of life expectancy, they are one … Continue reading →

Today was windy, so it is only fitting that my Renewable Energy Systems course had a field study to get a better understanding of wind energy in Denmark.
We first met up in Copenhagen, at DIS, where we had a lecture by Hans Soerensen.

Today is Fastelavn (kind of pronounced Festle-laaawn) in Denmark, which is historically a religious holiday. However, my host parents said today it is very similar to Halloween.
First of all, Fastelavn is similar because kids dress up in costumes (my y… Continue reading →

On Wednesdays, students here at DIS do not have class and the day is reserved for field studies, which can basically be described as field trips. For my Danish Language and Culture class, we had a field study to Christiania, a very unique and interesti… Continue reading →

Thursday morning every student at DIS left with their program to go on a short, yet event filled study tour to multiple cities in Western Denmark, Sweden or Germany. My program Medical Practice and Policy (MPP) would tour Odense, Arhus, Skanderborg and… Continue reading →

Last night I had a conversation with friends discussing the different housing situations. During the conversation, I really came to realize that I made a good choice in my decision to live with a host family. Of course there are the benefits of not hav… Continue reading →

Now that I have been in Denmark for two weeks, I have come across a lot of things that are just different. Some of these differences are awesome, some are strange, and some are just there. I will let you decide for yourself!
1) Things are never said th… Continue reading →

Actually it is Tuesday. But here at DIS, us students are blessed with the great gift that is no school on Wednesday. So yes, in a way, it is pretty much Friday. I have time to post on here so that is what I will do. Here’s a little preview.
1) T… Continue reading →

Monday was my first day a… Continue reading →
