I had the pleasure of watching the movie "Sugar man" about the musician Rodriguez not too long ago! There's a film club in Copenhagen who's showing it for free this thursday from 19:30-21:30! It's a capturing documentary and a magic story with nice music!

Event-time!
And adventure time! We have some pretty unique events this weekend!
Friday
RUSjoint with Magtens Korridorer
Big party for all the DTU students this friday outside S-Huset. Tickets can be bought in S-huset, PF-caféen (the little café next to the Intelligent Building at Matematiktorvet). 80 DKK for PF-members and otherwise 120 DKK. It's only possible to buy tickets in-door if they are not sold out before, however after the concert, you don't need a ticket. The party opens at 20 - and so does the pølsevogn! After the concert (midnight), the Oticon hall will open. After midnight, jackets and bags must be placed in the wardrobe (20 DKK/item).
Saturday
Free hangover food
Nørrebrogade is one of my favorite streets in Copenhagen - and it's partly because it's always possible to get a cheap, nice shawarma! It is always a big discussion where to get the best shawarma at Copenhagen's shawarma main street - but now we will find out. This saturday, the best sharwarma restaurant will be found.
This involves free tastings! :)
14-16: Taste samples at 11 restaurants on Nørrebrogade. Map: https://
16-17: Counting votes and award ceremony at Nørrebrogade 66-68.
Also!
14-17: Chill out at the venue for the award ceremony. Music, free coffee and sweets. This is also where you get the voting-paper! Without that, no tasting samples. There will be 150 voting papers, so be there early! They give them out at 14-15:30.
More details to come on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1423652984525623/
Copenhagen Tweed Ride
The Copenhagen Tweed Ride is an annual tradition (though it's only it's second time around) and like last year, the profit from the ride will go to charity (this year, bike classes for immigrant women).
The ride will pass the lovely parks of the city as well as some of it's memorable places. Dress up fancy - with at least some tweed! The main thing is a vintage "grandma-ish" look. Hats, gloves, you name it... There will be prizes for "most dashing dame" and "most dapper gent", so put some effort into it and go to get a unique experience.
Sign-up is open, but be quick - only 40 spots are available. The price is 50 DKK for the guided tour and some refreshments on the go. Bring lunchbag and hipflask to keep yourself full and warm.
It starts at 10:30 and ends at 16:00, but you can stay to hang out after. Meeting place is Nørregade 20 at 10:30.
Where to get your hands on some tweed? Go to the nearest thrift shop! There is one at Lyngby Hovedgade and plenty in Copenhagen! Just google "Røde Kors genbrug" or "Kirkens Korshær genbrug".

Sunday
Zombie Run
The Zombie Run is an adventure run for people in all ages. Be ready to "run for your life". The route is 5K and will take you through the most creepy part of Vestskoven. There will be flocks of hungry zombies (walking zombies) who will chase and catch the runners.
You will be given a time taking chip as well as 2 lives symbolized by two strips of fabric from a belt. If a zombie catches one of your strips of fabric, you loose a life. If both your lives are taken, you are dead.
Runners with both their lives kept safe will be guided to the finish line - runners without both lives will be sent on a detour. It is a serious terrain run with time taking and clear route directions - just with hungry zombies chasing you. Expect muddy shoes and legs! It is the first time, the zombie run is around!
You need to sign up, but the webpage is not ready yet - follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZombieLobet

Welcome and welcome back!
A big, happy welcome to all you new international students at DTU and to all of you who's been here before - both at DTU, in Denmark and at the blog.
I hope you have some really nice introduction guides and buddies and that they will take you to see some awesome stuff this week.
The reason I started this blog was to give you all inspiration on stuff to do and experience in Copenhagen - that Danish people also go and do, so you don't go home one time and discover, that all you saw were lecture halls, campus bars and Kulørbar (nothing wrong with that, though). I think, that if you go to a new (or just different) country, you should experience the whole thing, go and do stuff that the "locals" do. I'm here to help you with that - and also give tips on DTU and Copenhagen life! You can ask me anything and I'll try to do features along the way.
Also, again, I would like to encourage you to write posts, send them to me (ask for my email address in comments or PM me on Facebook) - and I'll put them here for you with name or not - if you find something that's too awesome not to share.
I'm looking forward to meet you all!
Also, I'm happy to tell you, that the blog has had 1000+ views each month since it's beginning exactly one year ago. Even though I might be busy from time to time (I assume you know the feeling as fellow students), I really love your response on the stuff I put here and I really, REALLY hope that you'll have an AWESOME time here in Denmark - no matter for how long or how short you will stay!
FIRST advice to you guys, if you are not familiar with the drill;
You can get your new coursebooks cheap at www.usedbooks.dtu.dk, where DTU students put their used books for sale. AND you can put them for sale there by the end of the semester (or if you realize you bought a book that you'll never have time to read because you're too busy having fun here - I hope that!).
Second, when going around in Copenhagen - watch out for angry bikers. Bikes get their way in Copenhagen! And if you go biking yourself, wear a helmet. It can get rough out there! No accidents, promise? Good. For more advices, check the earlier features with tips - to be found in the "Sider"-feature to the right. That should give you a nice start at least.
All the best wishes for the new semester, have fun!
