When in Denmark...

This semester I'm spending in Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark. I'll be sampling the food, living with other Danish students, and trying to find my way around this beautiful city! I want to share my experiences with all of you through descriptions, thoughts, pictures, and video. I hope it keeps me somewhat connected to everyone at home and, in return, allows some of you to virtually visit Denmark, home of the oldest flag and the happiest people.

Hillerod: Last Stop on the E Train

Every day during the week I commute to school from the town of Hillerod. It is at the end of the E train on the S-Tog, and we take a bus from our school to the train station. Last weekend we went on a walk into Hillerod, and I took some pictures to show what Hillerod looks like.




 
The photo above is a picture of a church near our hojskole, and the one below is of my friends walking into town with me.

This is a view of the Frederickborg castle, which I see every day on my bus ride to the train station. We're planning on going in the springtime because the garden should be in bloom then.




There's a lot of little shops in Hillerod. I didn't buy anything, because things can be expensive, but it was nice to walk around and see what's there. They also have a mall in town so I can get anything I need there. 


So now you've seen some of the highlights of Hillerod! It's a quiet little town, and the public transportation makes getting to and from Copenhagen a little bit more work (especially in the evening, when it runs less frequently) but I really like living outside the city. It provides you with a different, less cosmopolitan view of the country of Denmark.
