Day trip to Aarhus

On Saturday my department organised a day trip to Aarhus for all the exchange students.
The students in the International Cultural Studies (ICS) mostly consists of North Americans, South Koreans, a couple of Germans and other eastern European countries and of course myself, the only antipodean.


Aarhus is the seconde largest city in Denmark, and is about one and a half hours by train south of Aalborg.
One of the main tourist destinations is The Old town which is a open air museum of old Danish Architecture where you can see different aspects of Danish life from from the Middle Ages onwards.

Within this museum there was also a gallery with an exhibition of Danish and Greenlandic posters and Greenlandic art.





Aarhus is also bigger city than Aalborg so you can do a lot more shopping there - there are also all the big european brands; H&M, TopShop etc.
