Glaedelig Jul! (Glad Yule!)

Merry Christmas! Today is December 11, and I leave for Denmark in 1 month and 19 days. I am very excited, however nervous, trying to pull everything together!

Here is a 60 minutes piece on Denmark that is quite entertaining. Enjoy!

Introduction I Suppose.

Well, look, here am I, a blogger. I never thought I'd have a blog, but this is for a specific purpose! I want to keep you- friends and family- updated on the adventures in my life while I am abroad. In January, I am headed to Aalborg, Denmark, to study at the University there, as well as do some traveling : )

So...here are a few preliminary facts:

Denmark has a queen! Her name is Margaret. She is pictured left.

Did you know Denmark is the happiest place on earth! Check out this 60 Minutes report.

While the majority of Danes speak in English, here are a few phrases I have learned:

jeg elsker dig- I love You

Hvor kan jeg finde is?- Where can I find Ice Cream?

and of course,

Jeg er en tabt amerikanske- I am a lost American.

Stay tuned for more!
