So Craig, Sam, Katelynn and I decided to go wander around Roskilde yesterday. We applied for our CPR numbers, got a few things we needed and then just walked around. We went down to the fjord, wandered through a park and ended back up near the cathedral. It was a lot of fun. Katelynn's mentor said he'd show her around Copenhagen so we might go do that sometime. And Friday we're going on tours of the Viking Ship Museum and the Roskilde Cathedral so I'll have pictures of that on Friday/Saturday.
When we were in the park we saw all these birds, the picture above gives you a bit of an idea of what it was like. In the ponds they had actual stairs for the birds to get up and down. There were also lots of Mallard ducks there which made me laugh. I wonder if any are the same ones that visit out backyard every spring.
The weather's not been too bad. Tuesday was the coldest with a -7 windchill. It's supposed to rain for the next couple of days so I'm not looking forward to that so much. And tomorrow we start the Foundation Course. The first week looks pretty good. Second week not so much. I'm going to see how things are and if it's really bad I'll spend the second week travelling before school starts in February.
I have to say living in the international students dorm is pretty cool. You meet people from all over and everyone's really nice. One girl, Sophia, who's from Montreal, actually walked us over to the building where the foundation course is. And this guy named Pierre from France, who works at a bar, got us in free and got us free booze. It was awesome! Though I did find out that you're allowed to smoke in Danish bars if they're small ones. Me, Katelynn and Andrew all have clothes that reek of smoke now. Oh well. It was worth a little smoke.
