rare sunny day.





Wednesday was full of waking and exploring. My group set off at 9:30am on a cold sunny morning to find our way around the city to specific sites and landmarks in Copenhagen. It was certainly beautiful! We saw Magasin (the citiy's largest department store), Christiansborg Slotsplads (a castle where the Danish parliament resides), we hopped on a harbor bus to take us to Amalienborg (the royal palace) where the Queen of Denmark resides and we were fortunate enough to see the guards change at noon.







^ clip from the ceremony that happens daily at Noon outside the royal palace for the changing of the guards.

Wednesday was exhausting and it was nice to go to bed early for some rest before the first day of classes on Thursday. Class are very different in Denmark, your grade is depended on a lot more than just test but participation and involvement and they are more project and paper orinted to get us immerged in the subject. I don't think it is a necessarily good or bad difference. Just different.


Tonight DIS has rented out a night club so that we can celebrated the start of our semester in Copenhagen....the Danes do love their drinks!




hej hej
