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.

An old danish street.
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.
Blogs are a good way to avoid sending long emails home when you are travelling, as well boast about how much cooler life is in another country right?
