Terug in Denemarken (Foto reportage) Europe » Denmark » Region Midtjylland

Exit Denemarken

Iedereen is weer veilig aangekomen in Denemarken Tijd om weer een kort berichtje te maken. Deze keer zal ik niet zoveel woorden gebruiken maar de foto's laten spreken. De laatste dagen in Finland zijn goed geweest, ons laatste bezoek bracht ons naar Partaharju, een Hojskole zoals de onze hier. Dat was een prachtige plek om te zijn volledige met echte Finse sauna. De Finnen aldaar stonden erop dat wij hun meest favoriete plek in volle glorie mee zouden maken, dus iedereen uit de kleren en de sauna in. Terwijl de dames ons verteld hadden dat hun groep erg voorzichtig was [View Full Entry]

Bornholm
Me sitting on the rocks in Bornholm. This photo was taken a few days after my last blog entry.

Woah, ok, I kind of fell off the radar a bit there... There is no way that I could condense all of the things I've been doing down into one entry so instead I present to you a picture dump. [View Full Entry]

Operaen Europe » Denmark » Region Hovedstaden » Copenhagen

Yesterday I went for a bit of an explore from Christianshavn Metro station to the Opera House (Operaen). Found this really weird abandon piece of land not too far from the station. Saw some woman come out of the gates and thought that it might be a cut through. It had a piano that had been painted, complete with keys and lid. Lots of things that had been abandoned. Think it might have had some minature railway set up as soon the markings of tracks and some controls. Got some cool pictures, even better that I now have my DSLR with [View Full Entry]

2 months / Ireland Europe » Denmark » Region Midtjylland » Aarhus

DSCN0961

2 months I’ve officially been here for 8 weeks. And it’s still as crazy as it has been. Danish is getting better, but I still can’t understand a normal conversation. Nothing too exciting has happened since the last time you heard from me. I hurt my shoulder due to public transportation and a hockey bag, which isn’t even a cool reason; I have to call the doctors today to see what the results of my x-rays are, so I guess we will see. Which brings me to the point, of I’m not playing hockey anymore this year because my schedule is [View Full Entry]

Øresunden
Stephanie running towards the sound between Denmark and Sweden.

My plan for this evening was to start on one of the many papers I have due in the next couple weeks. What have I done with my time instead? Watched Whale Wars on Animal Planet, of course. And an interview on BBC's Hard Talk with the Hungarian Foreign Minister. So it was still a totally educational, academic evening. Today my Women, Art, and Identity class took a field trip to two museums. The first one had an exhibit of Edvard Munch (of The Scream) which was ok, but not mind-blowing. Mind-blowing is, however, the adjective I will use to describe [View Full Entry]

We took few day trips one of them was to Arhus and it was so much fun. we started out at a museum and were able to look around for 3 hrs, then we go out and walk around the city and I think this was the [View Full Entry]

Big Band
In Århus before the band came out.

Time for an update! It has been just one month since I've updated, yet it seems like it's been forever. Thus far I have just been living my life, ya know? I go to school, I hang out with my friends, and I try to live as much like a "normal dane" as I can. I've realized that in school every wednesday in my class is kagedag. aka: Cake Day! Every week somebody brings in cake. It's wonderful. Back in september, there was a man from Alabama/Canada here. 25 years ago when he lived in Alabama he was an exchange student [View Full Entry]

Notes from Last Week Europe » Denmark » Region Hovedstaden » Copenhagen

Had my first full week at work and really enjoying it. Lunch is taken about 11.30am, some people in my department have gone down at 11.15am. As you can imagine by 4pm I’m starving! There’s a system for going around the canteen, which I didn’t really get. But luckily I found the colour coded map to assist me in future lunchings. Im using the the menu to try and add some more words to my very limited vocabulary. Loving the fact that I have a desk that I can raise to standing level, always gives a nice change to seating down, [View Full Entry]

Voorbereiding van de reis Europe » Denmark » Region Midtjylland

Temppeliaukio Kirkko
Misschien na de komende weken een aantal van mijn eigen foto's van deze kerk.

Nog een weekje en dan gaan we de Noordse landen maar eens verder ontdekken De afgelopen week is dit onze voornaamste bezigheid geweest. Gedurende de Euroclass hebben we steeds de tijd gehad om aan onze projecten te werken in de 3 verschillende groepen. Met onze groep hebben we spellen en ice-breaking games verzonnen voor de leerlingen van een Finse Højskole en een jeugdgroep van 7-8 jarigen. Een hoop van deze spellen herkende ik nog van Eurocontact en andere activiteiten. Tine, een meid uit Denemarken die ook verschillende in [View Full Entry]
