First Time: Hostel & Putting unkown food in my mouth

I didn’t know what to expect. And let’s be honest, even though I am not as bad as my sister, some may consider my standards of hotels a bit high maintenance.
It was time for my short study tour with my Business class and we were traveling to Western Denmark and staying in Hostels. I cold not have been anymore pleasantly surprised. They pretty much shoved 7 girls in the size of something a bit bigger than a dorm room – plus a kitchen and bathroom – but it was so clean and really modern. I did not mind it at all; probably nicer than some hotels I have stayed in.

We visited Bang & Olufsen, an extremely pricey electronics luxury company and Vestas, the largest company that makes windmills for alternative energy; both company visits were pretty cool. DIS also provided us with several meals and refreshments. However, the fist nights dinner was a traditional Danish meal. It was the first time I ever ate anything without knowing what it was; and we all know that is a big deal for me. Lets be honest, I am a picky eater! I think it is safe to say most students would have been happier if DIS spent an eighth of the cost of dinner and bought us all McDonalds.
