Århus, Denmark 1/03-7/03
I
spent the second semester of the Europe in the World program
living in Århus, the second largest city in Denmark,
on the Jutland peninsula about 300 kilometers west of Copenhagen.
It's a great city of about 250,000 people, more industrial
and less touristy than the capital, but definitely worth a
visit nonetheless...

A
Danish 100 Kroner note, worth
about $13 when I was living in Århus |
Downtown
Århus, a cool combination of new and old... |

Another
shot of downtown Århus, with a view of the canal
going through the city. |
Nothing
especially significant here, just a splash of water from
the high-speed ferry that you can take part of the way
between Århus & Copenhagen. I thought it looked
cool though. |

Børglum
Kollegiet, my home for the seven months I lived in Århus...
The inside was cold, dark, and felt like a cave sometimes,
but in the springtime, it was actually very pleasant. |
A
Danish phone booth- nothing especially interesting here
either, just the normal little things we're all used to
seeing in life. |

The
path I took to school each morning, along a small lake,
through a field, and up the road about a 1/2-mile. I found
these morning walks to be a great chance to relax, clear
my head, and prepare for another day of classes. |

Allan,
one of my housemates, at our Tour de Chambre, sometimes
called a Progressive party. How it works is like this-
in our case there were 14 rooms, which meant that there
were 14 different types of alcohol, which you were expected
to 'sample.' Allan has already sampled quite a bit, obviously. |
Five
of the guys who I lived with in Børglum, in order:
Jens, Viktor, Kenneth, Jan, and Allan. |

and Clea, another housemate in the background. |
Kenneth,
who has clearly sampled about enough for the evening... |

This
sign says (if it wasn't clear) "USA, Number 1, the
first and largest terrorist." While I'm not sure
if I agree, I certainly think we're doing the wrong thing
in too many places throughout the world. |
