Day 2 - exploring the town
So after a very eventful day, I woke up in my new surroundings hoping with all the luck in the world (in my world this doesn't count for a lot) but never the less, hopeful that the day would be better than the previous. I met up with my dad who had been kindly staying for the weekend to help with my suitcase restrictions (although I to this day am wondering what the hell I packed - I have no clothes). We explored the town and I realised that there was more to Aarhus than ice skating and petrol stations - my halls are in the outskirts and seemed very isolated before the journey on the bus took place. Despite having a collection of no less than ten coats back in England, I decided to pack only one with me - the newest (so my current favourite), yet least warm. What I was thinking when I was packing, with full knowledge that I was going to Denmark - home to snow and coldness, is to this day beyond me. Buying a cheap '90s puffa jacket in desperation, I felt slightly warmer and could suddenly see past the coldness and the potential of the city grew upon me like wild fire - not as warm but near enough. Other essential purchases bought included coffee and bedsheets - although I was told I had a single bed, my single bed sheets were minature on my ever so massive 'single', practically double bed I descovered on arrival.
