Lesson Learned: The Danish don't eat past 8:30

So, Monday was full of more orientation things. We had our opening ceremony in the Glypotek, which is their art museum. It was beautiful, the room was a copy of a Roman temple. The museum nerd in me is definitely going back.

I also had my first survival Danish class. We invaded a Netto, the Danish cheap supermarket chain. I felt bad for any one shopping, because we took up so much space trying to figure out the names of various meats and fruits. I'm excited to learn more of the words for various foods, because I currently am pretty helpless.

That night a group of girls from my Kollegium and I decided to go out to eat and to a bar. We didn't get into the city until about 8:30 but we figured that was all right. False. After trying 4 bar/restaurants and walking by countless restaurants that were already closed we ended up in the Hard Rock Cafe. I guess I am allowed a few days of being horribly touristy.

  1. Hi Michelle--Thanks for following my sage advice and making the blog! It's nice to keep tabs on you and hear about everything, you already have some interesting cultural observations! Mom will be happy to hear that the Danes follow her rule of not eating past 7, haha!
