How to piss off a Dane:

Hello beautiful people! Last night we had our first kollegium party (which means our whole kollegium was invited, not just the DIS students - I think DIS gives us money for these so we meet more international people/stop hanging out with all americans haha). The party was Valentines day themed and really fun! SO I will use this as the opportunity to introduce you to my 2 SRA's (like american RA's but they aren't at your service 24/7....and they don't care if you have a pet hamster in your room).

This is Matilde! She is so great! I think she is going to school for developmental education, and this will also be her last semester at DIS.

Aaaaaaand this is Mads: (the one at the top) He is studying fitness and exercise science. He is super fun (if you couldn't tell by this picture) and he always rides his bike instead of taking public transportation.

Today I woke up at the crack o' dawn (or 7am) for an International Reporting workshop, which involved two free meals. <SCORE

This workshop also involved us interviewing people on the street about current events........my current event was the Pope's resignation. Here are a few snippets from my interviews:

1).

Me: "What do you think about the Pope's resignation?"

Turkish man who has lived in Denmark for 26 years: "AHH! I am happy! He's old. It is time for a change. He had such a big house and Jesus probably would not have liked that. Maybe the next Pope should be italian!"

2). 

Me: "Hello. I am writing an article for a clsas, would you mind if I asked you a question?"

Lady: "well that depends on the question........." *looks at me like I am trying to sell her something*

Me: "Ok, well what do you think about the Pope's resignation?"

Lady: "OH, yeah I don't care. Hah hah!"

3). 

Me: "What do you think about the Pope's resignation?"

Old fashionable guy: *really weird smile* "Oh, no comment." then slowly walks away. 

^Did I mention that less than 1% of the Danish population is Catholic? I think the majority of Danes are Lutheran...however only 3% go to church regularly. Apparently everyone is either agnostic or atheist.

^Also my friend from class sent me a wonderful link today! So here it is for you're viewing pleasure.

Also I would just like to add that I have probably done every single one of these things....awkward.
