Here's just a little list of tid bit's I've come up with throughout my time here thus far.
Fun Facts:
hot dog stands are phenomenal here!
the weather is actually warmer than back home :) (for now)
No class on Wednesday is a beautiful thing
Vikings are the source of many drinking rituals... In Denmark you say Skol instead of cheers; the reason for this is that Vikings actually used to drink out of skulls. When you say Skol, you are supposed to hold up your glass and then make eye contact with everyone at the table before you drink. The reason for this is that if you are looking everyone in the eyes, no one can stab you in the back! Also, people clink glasses so that some liquid from your cup goes into the other person's cup, and vice versa.... the reason for this is so that you know that no one poisoned the glasses. Very interesting paranoid Vikings.
There is an amazing crepe place on Stroget (pronounced stroll)... Stroget is also the longest walking street in all of Europe (and nicely located a block from DIS)
I saw my first Danish snow today!
Not so Fun Facts:
Just because the schedule says the train comes at 1:18 and 2:18 doesn't mean that it does
When there are no trains, you must take a taxi... the price of the taxi goes up a kroner every 2.5 seconds... they are very strict with their taxis here :( but at least every taxi ride is an adventure!
I might have ruined a pair of boots going out tonight :(
Well that is all i've got to say, now it's time for bed...
