Arrived in Århus......got into a nice hostel...but the people there were.....-__-" Either they are in groups not in my dorm and never in the hostel, or...have a few weird guys in my dorm room........-__-" Anyways, Århus seems to be a very nice town with a very very vibrant night life... My hostel is right behind the bar and cafe street along this river..and wow! so much reminded me of Ljubljana! with people just crowded along the river eating and drinking at night....! I havent actually walked into the city centre...but seems like its a pretty big city.. First full day, and the only one, was devoted to Legoland! wahhahaaa! got up early and just headed there right away..had to take a train then a bus.

Danish Koloni huset: Those houses were built in the 60th, for the workers, so they could grow some veggies as well as relax in a nice setting. The communist would say "it is a plot to keep the workers revolution down!!!!", but really i'd rather look at it as a nice way to let people have some outside private space for very cheap. Some of what used to be simple tool schacks have turned into complete and sometimes livable habitations.

Day 15 This morning, we went to the rainforest bio domes in Aahus. Breanne wanted to take Jessie and Amanda and show them the animals. It was pretty cool. Each bio dome had different animals and birds. They just flew and ran around you. Most weren’t caged up. There were parrots and forest foul in the trees. They were just like our chickens but they hung out in the trees. Too funny. Little monkeys ran around and these little deer like things. Even the snakes were just hanging around without cages. It was humid in there but still a fun place to go. After than, we drove to a castle ruins out on the coast and fried ourselves in the sun to get a few pictures. It was funny because all these cows were making their ... read more

Day 13 Breanne took us around to the sites in Aarhus. One was a Williamsburg-like part of Aahus they call old town (Den Gamly By). There were people dressed up like the people of the era. There were also children playing games and running around the town just like it was back then. Kinda cool. In the evening, the rotary had a special dinner for us and Breanne. When we got there, the custom is to take a beer opener that is on a special hanger on the wall. Each opener has number and you are to sit at the place that corresponds with the number. This way you usually sit by someone different at each meeting. The meal started with buttered rye bread that they passed around. Then the herring that you put on top ... read more
