First Day of Classes

Today was our first day of school. We met this morning at Frue Plads, a square near DIS, and took busses to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts for a brief orientation and introduction to the architecture program. After lunch we had an hour-long lecture on the history of Copenhagen, followed by a boat tour around Copenhagen’s many canals. We saw much of Copenhagen’s architecture, including the opera house and the Black Diamond by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen.

After the tour I walked around downtown Copenhagen for a while. There are several pedestrian only streets that seem to be constantly filled with people. Shops line the streets. Unfortunately, the prices of everything are out of my range. Copenhagen is an expensive city!
