Hello from Denmark! Wow! It’s been a pretty ov**whelming couple of weeks. My last week in Ghana flew by. I spent all my working time at the law firm in the last week, mostly going to court, but I also managed to squeeze in some time at the orphanage too. On my last weekend, the four of us volunte**s took the children to a beach near the orphanage. It was a pretty daunting task to look aft** so many children in a place.wh**e so many things could go wrong, but it was a ...

When I visited Kattegat Centret I participated in a survey, and for that I got a free ticket for an other museum in Jutland. That ticket I used to go and see Randers Regnskov (rainforrest)<br><br>It was quite impressive how they've build an African, an Asian and a South ...

This being Denmark and all, you can't really trek the Himmalayas, dive the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef or lounge on the beach for hours (though some do it anyways despite the chill)<br><br>So I decided that as I were in Grenaa I might as well go and see the Kattegat Centret - a ...

... br><br>We arrived in Copenhagen early at 11pm (instead of 7am the next day), so some folks got off the ship to party, but since I have one more night in Copenhagen I didn't much care to do that. Spent some time with Stephen, then decided it was time to crash as i had to be up at around 6:30am for disembarkation<br><br>And with that, I went to bed for the last time on the good ship Eurodam.

My Lufthansa flight to Munich, Germany Sunday night Lufthansa flight was the most jam-packed flight to Europe I've ever made. Every seat was filled. Summer travel to Europe is always this way as this is the season for tourists. Planes are full and ticket prices are high. I enjoy winter as much as summer travel to Europe. Not so many tourists. I keep hearing about the economy affecting travel. Well, I haven't seen it ...

Silkeborg was a beautiful little city built around it's river. It had walking paths by the river, and in the summer had river cruises. Such a pretty place. One thing that caught our attention was the garages for boats, complete with roller doors and all.

Another viking museum called Moesgard. Fantastic. There was also a forest walk that was replanted in various sections with trees that grew in different time periods of Denmarks history. One section was planted with trees from one particular era, and another section with another era, etc. You'd call it a giant open-air flora museum. It was beautiful, even in winter. There were also things like an iron age house and a stone age barrow and a more recent fishermans house etc.

... about 20 or 30 years ago, residents had to go outside and shower in a separate building, and that was the common setup for Danish apartment buildings back in the day. <br><br>Despite being a college town, Aarhus has some nifty sites. One I really enjoyed was the modern art museum, ARoS. I was actually a little surprised that I liked it so much, since I've always thought of modern art as being a little weird and boring. This one was very interactive and set up in a ...

... high and if you wanted to buy yourself a bit better car, you bought in fact two more for the state at the same time. I answered I liked the welfare system, and the fact that schooling, health insurance and medical care were free for everyone. But his argument was that if you were in the US, then the money you did NOT pay to the state for two additional cars could be spent for the doctor in case you needed it. I nodded. There was no point engaging in deeper polemics. How to ...
