PF Cinema tonight and tomorrow
PF Kino will be showing The Lion King tonight and tomorrow night.
If you don't go this week, you should try it at least once. It's really nice and "hyggeligt"!
The ticket price is 25 kr for PF members and 40 kr for non-members (so become a member!)... it's possible to pay by card! Doors open at 19:15 in building 116, auditorium 81.
Candy and drinks will be sold before the movie.
If you by crazy chance never saw it before, read about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110357/.
It's highly recommended and the first movie I ever saw in a cinema! I still love it after all these years!
Just note: It might be in Danish! But it shouldn't stop you! It's a great way of learning something (especially if you know the story!).
Iconic!
Hakuna Matata!
Not in 3D.
The program for the rest of the season can be found here: http://www.pf-kino.dk/

Free BBQ with DSE on Campus
Hope you all had an awesome weekend.
Here's just a quick reminder for those of you living on Campus, or just those of you who finish classes late on wednesdays (or those of you who just like to hang out on Campus):
The student organization DSE will be giving away free BBQ (pork and chicken) on Campus this wednesday at 17:00. Be there a bit early, because the line is usually very long.
This will happen at the same place where the summerparty/tents were last friday.

Starting to feel Danish?
Many of you have been here for more than a week now. Some of you have been here before and maybe even several times. Each time, you get a little more Danish and we get a little more international...
Here are some signs of when you're becoming (too?) Danish! (Just found them by googling!)
YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN DENMARK TOO LONG, WHEN:
You think there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
You think its normal to pick up a girl in a pub, walk her to her bike and ride with her back home.
You understand why not every type of meat can be put together on top of bread.
You think its impolite to sit next to someone in a bus if there is a bench where you can sit on your own.
You go to the supermarket and buy three good beers and 10 not too good ones.
You can open a beer bottle with almost anything.
You honestly believe that the distance between Copenhagen and Aalborg is long.
You can tell the difference between a Grøn Tuborg and a Carlsberg beer
The first thing you do on entering a bank/post office/pharmacy etc. is to look for the queue number machine.
You accept that you will have to queue to take a queue number.
When a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
a. he is drunk;
b. he is insane;
c. he is American;
d. he is all of the above.
Silence is fun.
It no longer seems excessive to spend 150$ on alcohol in a single night.
You know that "religious holiday" means "let's get pissed".
You use "Mmmm" as conversation filler.
The word "yes" is an intake of breath.
You have only two facial expressions, smiling or blank
Traditional dinners may not necessarily mean a cooked meal.
You forget how to open canned beer.
Can't remember when to say "please" and "excuse me".
You will leave a pub if you can't find a seat.
Your wardrobe no longer has suits but blue shirts and mustard colored sports jackets and lots of denim.
You don't mind paying the same for a 200-metre bus ride as you do for going 10 kms.
You don't look twice at businessmen in dark suits wearing white sport socks.
You start to believe that if it weren't for Denmark's efforts, the world would probably collapse pretty soon.
You find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than the name of the wine.
It feels natural to wear sport clothes and a backpack everywhere.
You know the meaning of life has something to do with the word "hyggelig".
You are very surprised when you receive compliments about ANYTHING - including your appearance/clothing! In fact when you do, you find it suspicious and start thinking they might have ulterior motives.
You've completely forgotten what a "date" is - no one ever comes to pick you up and unexpected gifts are VERY unexpected.
You don't think it strange that no one ever comes by to visit without being invited and you never show up at any one's place unannounced either.
You wouldn't dream of coming even 10 minutes early to a party. (Once around the block is always an alternative)
You find yourself lighting candles when you have guests - even if it is brightly sunny outside and 20 degrees.
You offer people strange-tasting brown alcoholic liquids with their coffee in the MORNING! (Schnapps! MMmmmmm... or...)
Are there some obvious funny ones missing?
Best,
Nanna

Events this weekend
Nothing better in the first week of studies that the first friday in the first week of studies. And that would be this friday!
I hear you'll be pub crawling to the different bars on Campus with ESN before the Summerparty at 21 at Matematiktorvet. The themes of the many tents there will be are:
21:30-22:30 Telt A: Uniforms
22:00-23:00 Telt B: Full Moon Party (!)
22:30-23:30 Telt C: Harbour/dock-theme
23:00-00:00 Telt D: Island-theme
23:30-00:30 Telt E: Grease
00:00-01:00 Telt F: Pirates
I will be going in uniform! And I'll personally highfive all of you who are going to dress up as all the themes!
Where to get costumes (in general):
I was asked by some of you the other day how you get costumes for all the DTU theme parties. It's a very good question.
There is a shop in Lyngby, near the station. It's called Fest & Farver. It's not the most expensive nor the most cheap. If you want to go cheap, don't rent costumes. It's almost always cheaper to buy it, make it or improvise it.
Buy it online to get it cheaper. I like escapade.co.uk, because the shipping to Denmark is not too expensive. If you go for this option, find and order your costume in advance (+14 days).
There is also the possibility of going to second hand shops. They often have a small selection of costumes for sale (or just plain weird clothes). It's more challenging, but it's fun to improvise this way. Also, you'll be able to use the same things for many different costumes (hopefully!).
To make your own costume, print it in the Library, plot it in the plotting-rooms (but remember, these costumes are not very resistant to beer! Heheh)... go to the hobby stores or the toy stores (or the Chinese gift shop at Lyngby Station - ultimate cheapest option). I'd love to hear and see what you will be wearing!
You can be assured that one costume is a good investment. We love theme parties so much here at DTU that there will be no hard feelings as long as you show up in costumes - according to the theme or not!
Remember to stay for a while in Diamanten on your pub crawl. We love you all very much and want you all to love us too!
Other events this weekend:
Ok, this weekend is also full of not-DTU-related awesome events. Check this out..
Party on the Lakes
We don't care that summer's officially over. Which is why there will be a party ON one of the lakes of Copenhagen, Peblingesø, saturday from 16:00. Everybody's welcome to mess around on the lake on standup-boards (too trendy for me to know what it is - might be a surfboard you have to stand up on?), small sailboats, canoos or waterballs!
This is a waterball - scary and awesome at the same time!
This is a standup-board... I was right for once! Don't expect waves that big on the lake!
There will also be livemusic, canoo-race and a caribbean limbo-competition (and the prize for the winners will be rum!). Grill from 18:00. Cheap bar and the rest is free. There will be DJ's when the night falls and untill the morning comes.
Just meet up by the waterside of Søpavillionen (the "castle" like club on the side of Peblingesø).
Cute dogs in Tivoli
Before going to the party on the lake, you can go to Tivoli and have a look at a ton of cute dogs. It's the Dogs' Day, and dogs will parade, perform and be your best friend in Tivoli this day.
Unfortunately, people have to pay...
There will be "dog-dancing", a dog fashion show, dogs in costumes and a big dog-parade at 14.
Soooooooo cute!!!!
50's festival on Vesterbro
The 50's festival Golden Days will start this saturday with a giant party which will be started with a street-ball (dance/prom/younameit) in Enghaveparken. There will be old school food (marble-cake among other delicious things). There will be jitterbug, old school rock'n'roll, a rollerderby (!!), flea market and milkshakes. There will be cheap food outside the club VEGA, which is not far from Enghaveparken.
There is also a 50's party at Ideal Bar (which is also totally for free!).
The party is from 11-16, so then you can go and roll in a waterball afterwards! Or go to the afterparty at the club VEGA (for 200 kr).
The festival will continue until September the 23rd. Read more here: http://festival.goldendays.dk/ (in Danish, I know, but just run it through google translate!).
And buy tickets to the party in VEGA at billetnet.dk (search for Golden Days at Vega on September the 8th).
Also, if you go to the Summerparty Grease-style, here is the first opportunity to reuse your costume! Yay!
Gangnam Style back in the days...
Hope you all got a spot on the courses you wanted and that you all have fun - not only in the weekends!
Best,
Nanna

Chicky Grill - a place to eat Danish food
So, places to go out and eat Danish food are hard to come by, but I once went to this retro-cool place near the hip Halmtorvet on the used-to-be-dodgy site of the Central Station; Chicky Grill. Part pub, part canteen, part grill it's a unique place to try traditional Danish dishes, and the prices can compete with any fast food (30-75 kr). Just that this is - almost - as good as anybodys grandmother can cook it; lots of potatoes, lots of butter and large portions. And you can get beer too (I personally recommend the Høkerbajer for the authentic experience).
It's not fancy. It's exactly what it seems. And this is how it looks:
What kind of food can you expect?
Among the favorites are:
Flæskesteg med sovs og kartofler (pork roast with crakcling, gravy and potatoes - what a ton of Danes eat at Christmas)
Flæskestegssandwich med rødkål (pork roast sandwich with red cabbage, pickles and crackling)
Stegt flæsk med persillesovs (thick slices of fried bacon with parsley sauce)
Stjerneskud ("shooting star" - a very traditional open sandwich with fish filet, shrimp and vegetables)
Biksemad (roasted potatos with pork, beetroot and a fried egg)
Hakkebøf (beef patties with potatoes and gravy + soft onions)
Grilled chicken!
Yeah, you may have noticed by now that traditional Danish food is all about pig and potatoes. ;)
Worth noting:
- It's allowed to smoke in Chicky Grill. So if you can't eat while it smells like cigarettes... this might not be your new favorite place.
- They do not accept credit card.
After a nice, solid meal, you can go and have a look at the hippest of the hip Danes at their favorite hip places in Kødbyen, which is just on the other side of the building.
Here's how you find it:
The address is:
Halmtorvet 21, 1700 KBH V
Also, hope you had a great first day at DTU. For reals.
Best,
Nanna
