Quick post!
-Today: DIS welcome ceremony and a tour of Copenhagen by bus.
-food of the day/ what I think is a typical danish day of food:
breakfast: muesli (not sure exactly what was in there but it was good), and then toast with blue cheese
lunch: A sandwich of ham, tomato and lettuce. I was very happy to have my own lunch when I saw how expensive everything is in Copenhagen.
dinner: mashed potatoes (definitely mashed with lots of butter, and cheese, also onions and maybe carrots were in there) and bacon. Potatoes+meat= very Scandinavian. For dessert we had a dark chocolate dipped mound of marshmallow with coconut on top that is called something in Danish that I won't repeat here because it is terrible and racist. Yes, apparently marshmallows can have a racist name.
-things are still going well.
-Tonight I just hung around the house, but in the future I hope to go back into Copenhagen to see friends. My host family is leaving for three weeks starting on Friday, so that would probably be a good time to explore the city at night.
AND, my weekend schedule for the next month+:
-August 29: bike tour of Copenhagen, August 30: Elsinore (Hamlet's castle) and Kronborg Castle
-Sept 6-7: Sweden!
-Sept 12-13: short study tour with my Medical Practice and Policy program around denmark
-Sept 19-20: Bornholm to go biking
then one weekend off
-Oct 11- Nov. 2: Three week travel break: so far...Berlin, Poznan (Poland), France, Turkey.
So I'll be plenty busy. I'm excited!
