30 Days has September...

Wow! I cannot believe it is already the 30th of September! I have been in Denmark now for about 6 weeks now. I am almost half way through my time in Denmark which is really sad to think about... Anyway....

Last Sunday I went to Legoland. It is a 3 and a half hour drive from Copenhagen and is located in Jutland (Western Denmark) in Bullund. They describe Legoland as the Disneyland of Denmark. While it is definitely not as great as Disneyworld, I still had a pretty good time. It is probably a park more geared toward little children, but I can now check off that I have been to Legoland off my list of things I need to do while in Denmark. Here are some pictures of my time there. I have more on my facebook if you want to check it out.

Mount Rushmore- made of Legos!

The Lego version of the White House

Look a replica of Nyhavn! If you don't know what Nyhavn is look it up on Google. It is much prettier in real life

This week has been a really busy week for me. I had a 10-page- paper due for my Positive Psych class and a test in Danish class, all due today. The turning off the internet at 9:30PM at night didn't really help much, but somehow I got the paper done.

Wednesdays we do not have any classes so they are reserved for little field trips. I had two on Wednesday. The first one was for my Danish class. We went to a cathedral in Roskilde where many of the old kings of Denmark are buried. For the 2nd field study, we went on a Sex tour of Copenhagen for my Psych of Human Sexuality class. There is a part of Copenhagen called Vesterbro which has a lot of sex shops and used to have a movie theater that showed porn, which has since been shut down. Denmark legalized porn in 1969 b/c the prime minister at the time believed that it would lessen the popularity if he made it mainstream. It did not, however. Also, gay marriage was legalized in 1989. It's weird to think that Denmark has had legal gay marriage since before I was born while America does not.

This is going to be where the queen is buried when she dies. She designed it herself. The glass to make it will be imported from America. I had no idea America was a big importer of glass!

For my Livability in the Modern City class, we go on lots of site visits. Yesterday, we went to Ørestad and saw this really cool apartment building called the Figure 8 building. It was build just last year in 2010 and has around 200 apartment buildings. Check out this website which will tell you more about it: http://www.building.co.uk/buildings/the-man-made-mountain-copenhagens-8-house/5007509.article

It must be weird to live in an apartment that tourists like visit and take pictures of. I would be really cool to live there, but I'm sure it is really expensive. Here are some pictures that I took, thought the ones on the link up there are much better than mine.

On Monday I'm going to Milan with my Positive Psych class. I am so excited! We get to see the Last Supper! AHhhh! It is going to be 85 degrees in Milan! Though it has been unseasonably warm in Copenhagen lately- 75 degrees. My next post I will tell you all about my Milan adventures. Vi ses!
