This is the last day, I promise. In the morning, we had a choice of a few places to go, so I went to a children’s museum called Junibacken, and the Vasa Museum. Junibacken is a museum based on Astrid Lindgren stories, most of which I don’t know, bu… Continue reading →

Stockholm
Bright and early on Sunday, October 2nd, I met 27 of my Architecture & Design classmates at the Copenhagen Airport as we began our travels throughout Sweden and Finland.  The first stop on our journey was Stockholm, where we spent two nights… Continue reading →

I would apologize for temporarily falling off the face of the blog world for the past month or so, but I’ll stick with Danish tradition and refrain since I’m not actually sorry.  My time in Europe since mid-September has been a blur of travels, st… Continue reading →

Bonjour! I’m back and ready to light up your newsfeed again. I went to Paris with my core class, European Memory and Identity, for four days and then preceded to Reims-Champagne and Verdun for two more. Going to Paris has been a dream of mine since I… Continue reading →

So apparently in Europe when they say ferry, they mean baby cruise ship. I’ve never been on a cruise, but I would imagine it’s pretty similar to this ferry experience. Although the rooms were tiny, the rest of the boat was awesome. There was a… Continue reading →

Thanks! If there’s anything specific you want to know about, feel free to ask.  Continue reading →

I can’t really update because all I have is my iPod, but I just wanted to check in quickly. Tallinn was great and I survived the ferry to Stockholm. Now we have two more days in Sweden before we head home. It’s been a lot of fun so far, so I can on… Continue reading →

My mom was here last week! She rented an apartment in the middle of the city with her friend Linda from college. We had such a great week. Unfortunately, it was a week full of exams and papers for me, but we still managed to have a fantastic time. To start off, we traveled to [...] Continue reading →

Last Saturday, I woke up bright and early to meet my Holocaust and Genocide class for our trip to Hamburg, Germany.  We hopped on a bus and rode for two hours and then our bus, along with an actual passenger train next to us, drove straight onto a gia… Continue reading →

Just a reminder that I have been updating my “Danishness” page, so be sure to check it out from time to time! It’s a growing list of differences I’ve noticed between Denmark and the U.S., and I’m trying to make it pretty detailed for those of you considering a semester here. I’m updating it constantly [...] Continue reading →

My dad sent me this funny video of a Danish comedian making fun of some Norwegian swimming rules. The English subtitles are not perfect, and it’s only a piece of a full routine so it kind of stops a bit early, but I thought it was pretty hilarious.   Continue reading →

Hello thereblog readers!I hope youenjoyed the cupcake review on Tuesday; I definitely ate way too many cupcakeslast week. Anyway, the reason I’m writing today and not tomorrow is that I haveto update you all on what my life has been life for the past… Continue reading →

Last week I went to Agnes Cupcakes two times too many, meaning I went a total of three times. To explain why I went so many times, I will just say that I am so dedicated to making sure I review all thirty flavors, that I had a mini panic last weekend t… Continue reading →

This weekend I went to Fyn, which is one of the “islands” in Denmark. Copenhagen is located on Sjaelland, and Fyn is to the west of it. I stayed with the Bjørn family. Bjørn means bear, but this family is definitely TEDDY BEAR kind The train was a little expensive (228 Kroner one way), but [...] Continue reading →

Some context for this post: like some of the other posts on this blog (the more focused and formal ones), …

Jason Aldean who? Toby Keith huh? For a country music fan, Copenhagen is not the place to be.  Here in Copenhagen, the music is a little different…much more House than Hoedown.
Here is a little taste of what you might hear in a Danish club (fist pum… Continue reading →

Copenhagen decided to host the World Cycling Championships (which took place last week), a decision that was great for publicity but horrible for public transportation. Without notice to us non-Danish speakers, our buses suddenly traveled on completely different routes, the trains ran off-schedule, and it seemed impossible to get anywhere on time. 8:15 in the [...] Continue reading →
