The Danish word "hygge" roughly translates to "cozy" in English. In Denmark, the cozy feelings of comfort and relaxation are felt throughout the whole country, especially in the dark months. This blog will lead you through my semester in the cozy city of Copenhagen and all of the culture, history, and fun Denmark has to offer.

Copenhagen Design Week
On Saturday I went with a few of my friends to some exhibits at Copenhagen Design Week. The New Port was filled with people enjoying what was probably one of the last beautiful and sunny days I will experience this semester in Copenhagen. The best exhibit we saw was of furniture made out of recycled materials. My personal favorite was a chair made of little pieces of bread. We also relaxed for a little while in the "Oasis," a large area of sand with comfy beds, couches, and chairs to chill on. Afterwards, we went on a tour of a Turkish Naval boat that happened to be in the port on Saturday. I forgot my camera, but luckily I was able to snag a picture that one of my friends took.
