Monday was the first day of DIS orientation. The opening ceremony featured live classical music and a speech from the head of the school who described the sound of the Danish language as "something close to a throat disease." The day continued with various orientation activities and friendly introductions. I took the train back into the city after dinner with my host family. (Claus was gone to Jutland on business.) Eva, a new friend from Chicago, and I made our way to an apartment to meet up with more fellow students. That evening, I had my first Danish beers: Tuborg and Carlsberg. (Carlsberg is better.)
Observation: The men wear much higher quality jeans here. Or maybe with all of the bicycling the country does, they just look better in them? Haven’t quite decided yet.
