Jeg Kan Ikke tale Dansk... Undskyld


Outside favourite Cafe in Norreport

Quick update... offically DONE and PASSED my danish language course, although I am still incapable of saying anything in danish other than telling people I'm from Canada and I cannot speak danish... To celebrate we went to our favourite cafe called Paluden Boger, in the middle of the city and had drinks/food/yum... we are continuing this celebration tonight and then heading off to Sweden tomorrow for a night out in Malmo.

Today was also my economics meeting, a faculty taken very seriously in Copenhagen. We have our own cafe which only econ students can go to, a long with our own club (with Tshirts, so its official) and also several economics buildings and a large library. I am fortunate enough to have all my classes on the City Campus which is right in the heart of Copenhagen...it is STUNNING, and today I was, for the first time, able to see and tour around this part of campus. The University of Copenhagen was founded in 1479 and my campus is actually the oldest part of the university, so walking through the buildings is pretty amazing and medieval looking. My language course had been on the newest campus built only a few years ago and is extremely modern and high tech (every door opens automatically for you as you walk up to it, spaceship like lol). There is also Copenhagen's largest botanical garden situated right infront of the entrance to the city campus which come spring, I'm sure will be amazing to see.

Bigger news..its Fashion Week in Copenhagen next week!!! :):) Basic goals for the week: meet a celebrity, sneak into an "invitation only" show, become bff with Marc Jacobs annnd win a million dollars and buy everything on display...simple enough.

hej hej.

In case anyone cares, this is a map of the KU campus'. City is where my econ courses are and South is the newest campus where my Danish courses are. They're all about a 4-8min metro ride from each other...or you can bike which is what most people do.
