Barbra Streisand

Last Wednesday I had a field study to the Zoological Museum for my Marine Mammals class. I had pretty low expectations for it, but it was SO COOL! I wasn't expecting that at all-I figured we would see a couple exhibits aimed towards kids then call it a day. Instead they let us into their private collection which is around 100 million specimens. They have 5 floors with two big rooms on each floor and we only saw one. In the mammal room I saw soo many bones, skeletons, skulls, and taxidermy animals. I've honestly never seen so many antlers in my life. I'm so mad I didn't bring my camera! It was SO unbelievably cool.

It reminded me of this...

Another cool thing-in my Human Health and Disease class we practiced lumbar punctures (on a dummy) and IVs yesterday. We practiced on fake hands with fake blood first then got to try it on each other. I managed to successfully put an IV in my friend Ben! Cool huh?

Here's a list of things that you may or may not know about the Danes. Its not earth-shattering or anything,  just kind of fun :)

-They don't use ice
-Light switches are never where they should be
-Sorry is not a common word in their daily vocabulary
-an H&M can literally be found within any 1 km radius
-They like to mumble. haha yes!
-Women can braid their hair in  ridiculously cool ways
-They eat almost everything with a fork and knife-even pizza (gasp!)
-They celebrate the day when beer companies introduce their Christmas brews
-They also do this for easter?
-Royal family birthdays are a BIG deal
-Everyone has heated floors!
-They love candles so much that they even light them in hospitals. eee fire hazard
-It's rude to be late and its rude to be early. Who knew.
-Its totally socially acceptable (and legal) to drink in public
-Its also okay to bring your dogs on public transportation. I wonder about cats?
-They'll always assume your Danish until you open your mouth and say something

Also, I don't know if you've heard this before (you probably have) but this song is SWEEPING the Danish nation. And I love it. So have a listen.


Got to go to a family party-get together thing. Missing everyone back home!

  9. I rarely comment, however i did some searching and wound up here "Barbra Streisand".
    And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if
    you tend not to mind. Could it be just me or does
    it seem like a few of these comments look like they are left by brain dead visitors?
    :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I would like to follow anything new
    you have to post. Would you list of every one
    of your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  10. Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to understand so much
    about this, such as you wrote the book in it or something.
    I feel that you could do with some % to force the message house a
    bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog.
    An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
