In only three short days I will be on a plane to Denmark! How weird is that? So far, I have one suitcase packed and a lengthy list of things to do and more things to pack. I have heard from my host family- the Schou's, and I actually had a chance to chat online with the 22 year old son, Mathias. Because the beginning of our chat was based upon him quizzing me about Denmark, I realized I needed to do some research before heading off to the brand new country. So, as I've been reading anything possible about Denmark, I have discovered one key important cultural piece to Danish culture: There are no free refills. Just kidding, I mean, that's true, but hopefully it will not be the central important piece to my travels abroad. My favorite piece of Danish history is the name of the first Viking king: Gorm The Old. Pretty intense.
Okay but in all seriousness, reading about Denmark has only made me so much more excited. They are supposed to be the happiest people in the world! Sounds good to me.
I hope Gorm The Old was equally as happy despite his name. Although they probably don't fear old age like people do in the exotic USofA...
