Denmark?

Recently the question I seem to be getting is, "why are you studying abroad in Denmark?" I can understand the perplexity of the situation. What IS in Denmark?
Well to be quite frank, I had the same question. The only thing I knew about Denmark before doing my research was that that they make good pastries, probably have a lot of Great Danes, and they have a royal family that I could possible marry into (thank youuuu 'Prince and Me.')

Unfortunately, I was wrong about all of those things.
A) Danish pastries actually come from Austria.
B) Great Danes come from Germany and fun fact! They are the state dog of Pennsylvania.

C) Denmark does have a royal family, but none of them are eligible bachelors.  

German.

"The Prince and Not Me."

        
After discovering that I all my pre-conceived notions of Denmark were in fact untrue, I decided to do a little more research. I therefore came upon some information that SEALED the deal for my study abroad destination.
A) Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world. (Who wants to get robbed while you're studying abroad? Not me.)
B) They make AWESOME bacon.
C) Vikings.
D) Tivoli Gardens. (Inspiration for Walt Disney World)
E) Christmas markets.
F) People with a sarcastic sense of humor.
AND SO MUCH MORE.....

I honestly can't wait to embark on this adventure. I don't know what to expect in the next four months, but DIS affords me the opportunity to study and travel in this amazing country. Two weeks and off to Copenhagen I go!
