I forgot to post these pictures:
This is my existential Danish crush, Soren Kierkegaard.
This is me and Kara touching the statue of him, as a dozen English tourists watch just outside of the picture:
This is from our trip to Venstrade's (the Liberal party which is actually a conservative party) headquarters. The students pictured represent the whole portion of Polish students in the DIS program.
As I'm taking one class at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Theology, I was invited to their International Student Orientation DAY. This included a room full of kegs and sandwiches, and lots of european students. This is the room with the kegs - it dates back to the medieval ages, and those are real crystal chandeliers hanging there. Notable moment: the head of the university welcomes each country by name, except for America. Our Danish guide was extremely embarrassed, and apologized to us for the oversight until he left a hour later.
That night, we ended up at this little known place called Mojo's Blues Bar. They had this amazing open mic thing going on, and the first band up was incredible. We ended up sitting with the second band up that night until we left to catch the last train back to our respective homes. They were a great group of Danes who were incredibly surprised that anyone from Chicago or New York City would ever want to go spend time in Denmark, even though they admitted that they didn't think they'd ever want to live anywhere else. This photo is the result of no light and no batteries.
