1st day of Introduction....

After a long rest from the long journey to DTU.... i woke up twice.. once at 4am... where it's still dark... and 2nd time at 5 plus.... and what woke me up??
This!!! SUNLIGHT!! omg.... what is the sun doing up so early?!?!

Well anyway... it's a good way to start a new day... fancy waking up so early... (haven't done that on my own for like... months... wahahah)

Did some washing up... ate the digestive biscuits i bought in campus yesterday...(cost me 15 dkk... sigh...) and then it's off for my 1st day in my introduction week!!! :)

We are split into 21 groups (all the exchange students) and i am in group 5... Meeting every in canteen for breakfast... kinda felt awkward when i reach my table since i'm the only asian... in addition, the guide (Similar to councillors in singapore) weren't as "loud" as those in Singapore... My 1st impression of my guide, Louise, is that she is a very quiet girl... and well, my opinion never change for the 1st day... LOL...

Basically we we brought around DTU to familiarize with the surroundings and we had this scavenger hunt like thing... just that we only go around answering questions regarding DTU... in a sense this is good as it helps us know about the essential things.. like what buses come to DTU, where we can take buses etc etc...



After the hunt is followed by another event.. we are supposed to build a tower to hold as many beer cans as possible... The score will be height of tower in metres divide by 3 and multiply the number of cans... Our group managed to hold 16 beer cans... haha... and quite tall too... another group held 22 cans... but their height are much shorter than ours though... haha



Well one thing i realise about the Danes (which probably is quite well known..) they are very shy people... for example, my guide doesn't talk much... unlike councilors in SG... haha... However, i would say that they follow rules quite alot too... like there are cases where we want to jay walk... but the danes just stood there waiting for the green light... Also, maybe cos mine is a small town... the drivers here are nice... they actually will stop to let u cross (even if u jay-walk!!)!! haha... nice experience... Overall... quite like Denmark so far...(maybe only not the food.. since it's been buffet and i must say... it's not really good...) Tried their bread... the rye bread... and yucks.. dun like it at all.. haha =X

Anyway, we went to the cellar-bar in campus after dinner... had some drinks that... was a bit tipsy and my ears are turning red... haha... another amazing thing about the Danes... they drink alot... and yes i really mean ALOT!! My guide (female) drank 3 cans of Carlsberg during dinner... and when we get to the cellar-bar, she had another 2 MUGS of beer and 1 BOTTLE of beer... OMG... that's like... so much... haha... Well, at least... after drinking... u'll see the Danes opening up and being alot more friendly!!! haha... (so now that's what the drinks are for..)

After a night of partying... i'm finally back in my room... after shower... preparing to sleep... yawnz.... nice feeling... haha!! i'll leave u guys with some night pics!! (oh.. night sky in Denmark is quite good too!!!)
