About Denmark..

Last Tuesday (March 11th, 2014) we had a really interesting presentation about Denmark, with an exchange student, his name is Albert Brincker Olson,he's 16 years old and he's from Compenhagen, Denmark.

He told us a bit about history, culture of his country and he showed us a  video with  attractions and some tourist information. He also talked about his experiences in Brazil.

Well, I'm really impressed with Denmark, the place is really beautiful. The old churches, the houses, the streets... The country is an old country,many of the constructions are from the XVIII and XIX centuries, and that gives a  more charming atmosphere to Denmark. He told us about Stroget, the largest street in the world where it is not possible to drive. The street was designed for  people go  walking, ride a bike, go shopping, and relax. And I thougt it is great!

He showed us  Tivoli park, an amusement park there. That park inspired Disneyland. Amazing! I really felt like going there.

Then he also talked about the kinds of beer there. The most popular beer brands there are Carlsberg and Tuborg. 90% of the beer there is Danish, just 10% is imported. Danish people really like drinking beer, and there you are allowed to drink when you are 16 haha.

Danish people follow  the 'coconut model'. As he said, closed closed, they don't seem to be so friendly, but when  you gotta know them deeply you  realize that they are really nice people. Particulary I didn't think that Albert is a cold person, first time that I saw him, at least ...but that's ok.
Well, and he talked about the government, and many other interesting things, but I'll stop here because it's getting so long.

I can say that after this presentation, I left the classroom with a big wish .. I wanna go to Denmark. I gotta visit this country, and I'm sure I'm going there one day.
