Its been a long day. I arrived in Copenhagen this morning after a red-eye flight from Washington D.C. Try as I might, I could not sleep on the plane.
Today we had a full day of orientations and tours. I took a three-hour walking tour of Copenhagen around mid-day. It is truly a beautiful city. I love all of the parks around the historic downtown district, all of the secret, quaint little courtyards tucked behind the buildings, and especially all of the bikers. Biking is the primary mode of transportation around the city. Pedestrians beware: the bikers do not stop for confused or tired tourists walking in the bike lanes.
After a long day in the city we headed out to the kollegium – similar to a dorm, but away from campus and open to more than just university students. Most of the University of Cincinnati students are in my same kollegium. We had a group dinner, took a short tour of the neighborhood, and were given our room keys.
The rooms are quite nice, each with a bathroom and small kitchenette consisting of a stovetop, sink, and refrigerator.
It is still very light outside, even though it is 10:00 pm. After a long 2 days with very little sleep, I am going to bed.
