Enter week two of my Danish class. Most of us have given up actually learning the language at this point. We've picked up the basics but grammer is rediculously hard and writing it is even harder. But it's still fun!
Sunday night some of the students had a BBQ at their house so I went to that with Elliot and Alex and we met everybody there. It was great fun and there was a huge mix of us there. Ireland, Japan, Italy, Spain, USA, Australia, Austria, England.. you get the point. BBQs here definitely aren't what they are in the States. Hamburgers and hot dogs don't cut it. You have to marinate the meat and make skewers and all sorts of other food. And of course, beer.
Monday night about 20 of us went out for dinner. It was a spur of the moment thing and we pretty much took over this little Italian restaurant. It was so much fun though! The food was amazing and it wasn't too expensive either. I didn't take any pictures but some other people did so hopefully I'll get copies.
Last night there was International Night at Studenterhus Aarhus and that was fabulous as well. Studenterhus Aarhus basically organizes tons of events for students and there's a huge place where we can all go hang out. There's a full working bar, table soccer.. it's really fun. Every Tuesday night there's international night so a lot of international students end up going to hang out with everybody. Last night was just a casual get together, but next week they're having a movie night and I think Karaoke is coming up soon as well. They also organize trips for us. Next weekend there's a trip to Legoland and in about a month there's a trip to Skagen on the very Northern part of Denmark that I can't wait to go on.
Today I went to Bazar Vest with two other girls from America, Nikki and Lacey. It's basically an indoor farmers market geared toward Middle Eastern people. We had falafals which were absolutely amazing and we all bought a lot of really fresh produce for not a lot of money. I spent about 75kr (about $15) and got 2 huge mangos, 5 kiwis, grapes, a huge thing of blueberries and 3 huge peaches. Pictures have been posted on Flickr.
Big news of the day: I leave for Barcelona in a week! There's a big group of exchange students going (I'm not sure what the total head count is) and we're going to stay for a week. Round trip flight cost about $100 and the hostels will cost about $35 a night. Definitely couldn't travel that cheaply in the States! I am rediculously excited and I'm really glad that there's a TON of stuff going on this weekend so the next week should go quickly!
Look for another update after this weekend :)
