Here are some pictures of my biking trip at Bornholm. It is an island close to Sweden and has more hills then any other place in Denmark. On the trip I made some new friends. We stuck together, 7 on the first day and 8 on the 2nd because Lauren Fisher from Cornell decided to join our fun group.

This is a picture of my parents having a hygge dinner with my host parents that they had prepared for my biological parents.

This is a close up or "album cover" shot of one of my new good friends Katharine from Alabama and she goes to school in Ohio.

This is my friends Patrick from Princeton and Lauren from Cornell looking at one of the crazy pieces at ARoS.

Hygge

This is a photo of me and my new friend Emily. She is an Interior Architecture student at University of Texas in Austin. She is into design and maybe more into music then I am. This picture was taken at her new apartment where she and her Danish roommates were hosting a party.



"The Danes have a word that's hard to translate, and no foreigner can hope to pronounce, but it's as Danish as pork roast and cold beer. It's hygge, and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. The closest we can come phonetically is "hooga," if we try forming our mouths for "ee" while saying "oo." It doesn’t translate directly into any other language but we can illustrate it in action.

Gather the family and invite over a couple of good friends. Push the sofas and chairs up close to the coffee table. Douse the electricity and light some candles. Better yet, light a fire in the hearth. Serve plenty of food and drink. Raise a toast or two, or three, and feel the warmth flow around the table. Look at each other until you see the candlelight shimmering in each other’s eyes. You've got hygge!"

Photos of the past week and a half

Late night in studio with my group.

This is Lauren on the left in the yellow. We were just exiting class here. There are so many bikes here. It is really nice.

A moment I found the shadow framing this bike on my why to class in Copenhagen.

The lake in my "backyard" here in Gentofte.
