Noble Jobs in the world
HY was just asking me just now what the 3 noblest jobs in the world are. I really do not know how to answer this question. When she asked me this question, the first answers that pop into my mind is teacher. It was followed by nurse and doctor. Then soldier. However, after a little thinking, I think that it is really hard to choose ( Read more... ) -
Amalienborg Castle and Marmorkirken
We went to Amalienborg castle today. It is a very grand place made up of 4 palaces. However, it does not look as grand or as mysterious as that of Krongsborg Castle. I must say that I am rather disappointed as I thought that Amalienborg Castle would be extremely grand since it has 4 palaces. However, it does not look like a castle ( Read more... ) -
Rosenborg Castle
After a week of school, we are finally able to go sightseeing again. What better ways are there to explore the deep histories of Denmark than the castles themselves? This time, we had gone to the Rosenborg Castle which is rather near Norreport Station. It was built by King Christine IV in 1606-1634 as a summer castle. Much of the ( Read more... ) -
Start of school...
Finally, it’s the start of school. The sole purpose of my exchange here in Copenhagen. Even though it is only the first day of school, I already feel pretty drained. Even though it is only the first week of school, there are already tutorial classes and all the lectures are already at ultra fast pace. I met a few people today from my ( Read more... ) -
Kronborg Castle
In a land of kings and queens, castle is the most important after all. The majestic castle standing on its own for centuries, seeing hordes of people coming and going, is a serious attraction for me. Every wall seems to have its own stories to tell and every corner seems to keep a record of the events that have happened before in the ( Read more... ) -
Copenhagen Zoo
It’s the zoo today!!! :) The Copenhagen zoo is one of the oldest and largest zoos in Europe, with over 2500 animals. Also, the zoo tries to keep the animals in enclosures that reproduce their natural environments as closely as possible. This is good for the animals as they have a very wide space to move around in, but I feel that it ( Read more... ) -
City Hall
We went to City Hall today. We had wanted to visit it for a few times but had not done so due to various reasons. I must say that it was pretty disappointing as there was nothing much there. It was 3-storey high and looked really majestic and pretty on the outside. When we went in, there was a vast space in the middle of the place and there was an ( Read more... ) -
Tivoli Trip
We went to Tivoli today. It is the oldest amusement park in Denmark and is featured in many guide books. As it is an amusement park, I had been really looking forward to this trip even before I had left Singapore. Hence, you can imagine my excitement when we finally went to Tivoli today! =)
One of the best rides was ( Read more... ) -
Disappointing day... :(
Today had been a really disappointing day. We wanted to find a city bike to cycle around but there was none to be found anywhere. L After that, we followed the address of a bike shop given by the school that says that a new bike is selling for 1000 to 1200 kroner. However, after walking for hours to reach the store, we were told that ( Read more... ) -
Administrative Stuff... :(
Today, we did not do much sightseeing as we had to settle many administrative matters like getting our student ID card and getting out CPR card. I must say that the service here is really fast and the people are really friendly and nice. I noticed that the Danes are very carefree and are not bothered too much about rules and things.
