She was someone's hope.<br><br>And to a vulture, she was food.<br><br>We can't keep brushing aside these problems. We can't ignore that they happen.

... the birth of the nation of Denmark. Of course squeezed in LegoLand which is done very well. Folke Ferie house/bungalow in the beach woods at the Middelfart Kursus centre by the fiord overlooking the island of Faeno was very pleasant for kids to play &amp; walk. Overall recommend this little country with a big heart to other travellers with children who want a piece of living history &amp; a relaxed time.

Stayed in Aarhus as our sleep over stop, mainly becasue Billund has no hostels! Didn't do anything on our night there, as it had taken us about 8 hours to make it there from Berlin, many change overs on trains!<br><br>Went to Legoland on the second day. It was ace! Though many children running around, &amp; they seem to think that Criel as an amazing city in Scotland. We eventually got water rides, something whcih we have been looking for since we started!

... pickled herring, breadedfish, pork, salmon, cheese and grapes, freshly baked bread, Danish rye bread,liver paste, potatoes and pork, meatballs, and some whipped-cream/chocolatebits/jasmine thing, among others. I tried the liver paste on rye bread for the first time... and it'll probably be the last.  The final leg of the journey was rather slow but I was so glad to have signed up for both the Legoland and rock-climbing trips!! 

We spent the day at Legoland in Billund and having visited Disney World at the beginning of the summer I took note of a few interesting differences. In general, one thing I've noticed about the Danish culture is how there seems to be a great deal of freedom and trust amongst the people. There were a lot of children at the park; however, I none were on leashes like the ones I had seen at Disney World! Some had their phone numbers written in sharpie ...

... This was the perfect kind of museum for us as we all love this kind of thing and the Danes are noted for their design. Apart from the great art, we also got to see Arne Jacobsen's 1970s Cube-flex summer house overlooking Kolding Fjord, which was fascinating in bringing back memories of 1970s design as our house at Oakbank which Mum's brother Jim designed had been built back then. We were also really interested in the furniture design ...

... the price I had decided he was the horse I wanted ha-ha (I've got good taste). The equipment and machinery there was so advanced. I have been very lucky to have been asked to come back and visit and ride whenever I want. I had better go now as we have friends coming for my brothers birthday dinner soon. Hope you have enjoyed my update. If you would like to write to me my address is Sinead Gage Sortbrævej 3 Silkeborg 8600 Denmark Lots of love Nadie (the kiwi in DK)

I have just finished my first week of school at the Arhus School of Business! Honestly, its not too different than at home except the class schedules. Nothing is really very "structured" as in I have no clue when my Exams are or what my class schedule is from week to week (since lectures are always changing times). The credit system is also completely different making it kinda tricky to know just how hard your class is. I am taking 6 classes ...

So, I made it. I am sitting in my "new" dorm room really not in the mood to unpack and get all set up, but I am sure that at some point I will do it tonight. The last couple of days in Dublin were great. The last day Matt and I took a day trip to Wiklow and saw some amazing countryside. Not to mention, the location of some of the Braveheart filming =). We went out the last night and had our last couple of pints then made it a pretty ...
