I don't really understand these Danish people.

first of all, we were warned when we first got here that they will seem unfriendly and cold, which i would not expect from the so called "happiest people in the world." Plus, they have no word for please. And the bikers will hit you if you don't get out of your way. seriously. 

Let me just mention the homeless lady on the train last night who was smiling and laughing at us, seemingly entertained by ... maybe the fact that we were speaking english?... and then starts cursing at us and flipping us off while we awkwardly sat there quietly while this continued for at least 20 minutes until we could finally get off the train. crazy lady.  For some reason I expected everyone here to be smiling and polite all of the time, and I especially did not expect to see so many homeless people in such a socialist country.

Don't get me wrong, I have met many many nice Danish people, and I understand that these things (with the exception of the crazy train lady) are cultural and it will take a while to get used to.  It's just hard to be outgoing when you feel like no one really wants to get to know you.  But anyway, everyone in my program is awesome so it does not bother me so much that I have not gotten to know a lot of Danish people so far.  Except for the guy across the hall who I though was an RA/CF type figure and woke up because i locked myself out of my room and I needed to be let in... to find out he is just some random Danish student.  Oops.

School starts in two days and my classes seem like they are going to be really cool, but they have been trying to freak us out and saying it will be so hard, this isn't like other abroad programs, blah blah blah.  So I am a little scared.  We will see I guess!
