Students in the Danish Language and Culture class were given tickets to the F.C. København vs. Brøndby football game. These two teams hate each other, and when they match up it's the most intense game in Denmark. After the game, fights broke out and police escorts were needed! Lots of fun but very intense!

FC København fans (so intense!)

And the opposing Brøndby fans, with their smoke. and fires.

And the ensuing police escort/tear gas after the game was over

 This past Sunday I went with my host dad, host cousin and her boyfriend to Kronborg Castle. We toured around the creepy underground casemates, the royal apartments, and the beautiful chapel.

Holgen Dansk, the sleeping giant under Kronborg Castle who, according to legend, while awaken to protect Denmark in a time of need.

My host family also took me to Tivoli last Sunday, the oldest amusement park in Europe. It's beautifully landscaped and full of fun rides, good food, and cute buildings. I had a blast!
