Adventures in Denmark!

Sunday, the team embarked upon several new adventures. The day began with an almost train ride, but we ended up on the bus. After meeting some nice people at the bus stop, we decided to go shopping "with" them. They were probably worried that we would literally go with them. The shopping mall is very nice and very large, with several restaurants, stores, a Wal-mart-type super center, and a movie theater. After a couple of hours of shopping and a fun experience at a Subway-esque store, we hopped back on that bus like old pros and came back to the apartment.

The students took the afternoon to rest and visit the fitness center/swimming pool, which is pretty impressive, and engage in some epic snowball fights.



At 5pm, some students from IBA came to meet everyone and we walked to the school as a group to meet and greet and get familiar with the school. The school is about a 15-20 minute walk around the lake, under the train tunnel, and down the street. The school is quite beautiful and modern, very impressive. We saw the preparation and presentation rooms for the week. The team has met many students from the other teams. The students also met their Room Monitor, or assistant, who will be helping them all week with things they need. Her name is Nanna and she was participant in last year's case competition in Tennessee.



Tomorrow the team will leave the apartment and be on their way to school by 7:45am. They will spend 4 hours preparing for their case presentation, which will take place around 1pm. After their presentation, they will receive some feedback and be finished for the day. They will compete against the team from Dublin, which they have already dominated in Foosball. :) We hope for the same result in the real competition. We will keep you updated on their progress throughout the competition.
