From Denver to Denmark

With the 2 week mark slowly approaching, I'm finally becoming fully adjusted to the different time zone, as well as the drastically different culture. Copenhagen is 8 hours ahead of Colorado Springs, so you can imagine that adjusting would take some time. Whenever I check my facebook, its funny to see statuses talking about plans for the day or what someone had for lunch, when I'm in the process of making dinner or getting ready for bed. 

On Monday, we had our last "supplementary" class, in which we learned/reviewed CPR and learned about urinary catheterization (I won't post a picture for obvious reasons). 

A pizza "flap" - a sandwich, but pizza instead of bread

Lagkagehuset - One of our favorite bakeries

Homemade Danish "poptart"

The food here has been one of my favorite parts of the trip. The bakeries are amazing, each with new varieties of breads and treats. The picture below the pop-tart is the glass market, also known as Torvehallerne. It is a culinary hot spot in near the city center, and the food is amazing. The market consists of 2 massive "glass" tents, each with numerous food stands inside. It's always fun to stop by on the way to class for free samples, especially since its very close to the Norreport train station.

Fiolstraede

This is a picture I took walking along Fiolstraede, headed back to our apartment from the train station. Most of the streets in the city center are fairly narrow and covered in cobblestone. You can imagine that we do a lot of walking here, but everything is close to where we live.




All of my roommates and I are really looking forward to our trip to Berlin this weekend. We are taking a charter bus that leaves Copenhagen at 10:30pm on Friday, arriving in Berlin around 6am Saturday morning. This will give us all of Saturday to see the sights and experience a new country.

Also, I will be traveling to Paris and Amsterdam next weekend with a bunch of friends from class. We call it our "long weekend,"because it's the weekend between Session 1 and 2. So we have from Wednesday afternoon to Sunday night to travel across Europe. I might even take a day trip up to Sweden in a few weeks. Six countries in 6 weeks?! Talk about an awesome adventure!
