I completely forgot to mention my Danish encounter this morning!
So I take the S-tog (train) to class every day, at least until I decide to rent a bike. Well, this morning i must have looked especially Danish (I didn't), because I got approached by an elderly Danish woman. She said 'excuse me' in Danish and then proceeded to ramble off in rapid Danish, none of which I understood. What I did comprehend though, was that she was asking me for information about the train. Sadly, I had to turn to her and say the only phrase I knew in Danish that would make sense, which was: "Nej, jeg kommer fra USA." To which she politely responded (in English): "Ah. Well welcome to Denmark," and hobbled away.
I really should learn more Danish... I prefer being mistaken for a Dane.
