Denmark

This time, the destination was Denmark another new country added to the list. My first impressions when landing in Billund is that Denmark is filled with animals, cows, sheep and ducks are everywhere. Billund is the world capital of Lego, so you can see giant pieces of Lego on the strangest places, like a cow field. Took the train to Horsens (land of horses), were I would stay with M. a BEST hungarian friend. The first night was spent partying at an erasmus party, which was quite nice and of course cheap.
The next day, me and M. went to Odense, the third largest city in the country were we meet a common friend, Z. also from Hungary. The train system is quite nice, besides the expensive prices, but I don't mind paying for that excelent service. We arrived under typical northern rain but it was short after it was over. We took a small bike tour trough the city to the students dorms. By night, more erasmus party. It was a bit awkward return home around 4 AM and see the sun rise. It seams around there the night is really short at this time of the year, only 5 hours.
Sunday in Odense, a good day to enjoy the city. This one is filled with references to Hans Cristian Anderssen, since it was his birthplace. Statues of the author and of he's most famous characters are spread through squares and street corners. It's a city filled with charm, clam and very clean. Exactly what I would expect from the north. I thought this would be an expensive trip but in the end it costed me almost nothing, lucky to find a real low cost flight and to sleepover some friends house. In fact, this weekend costed me less than some I've spent partying in Madrid. The high prices were only noticed on the transports, if a bike could take you everywhere it would be wonderful.
