The third day in the United States

 Monday:

Monday morning we went to Madison College where we  started and spend the most of the day. The day started off with some general information about the day and our program.  After the information, we got an hour to prepare ourselves to present about Denmark to students from Madison College who were interested in Denmark. After the preparation, the presentations started, and we all did pretty well. The madison students were very interested in our country, some were interested in politics and some were interested in the youth and Denmark´s drinking culture. There are some cultural differences between the US and Denmark, that we especially noticed.

One of the differences between Denmark and the US is that many Americans are afraid of the police and are actually kind of working against them. Where we in Denmark sees the police as our friend and someone we always can ask for help. We have also noticed that the American population is much more open minded and very friendly to people like us, who are from a foreign country. People on the street on the colleges and even in the bus is stopping up and asking where we come from and what we are doing in The United States.

After the presentations, we did Q & A, where a lot of interesting question both from the Danish and the American students came up.The American students came up with some really relevant questions and they were not shy to ask.

At noon we all got hungry and there were served mexican food, which we all liked.

After lunch, we had a guided tour at Madison College, where we got a lot of exciting information. It was a huge campus and it was funny to see the different kinds of education possibilities and facilities at the school. For us, from Denmark, it was really exciting to experience an American college because we all had some expectations with us from home. When our “school day” ended we went shopping in East Towne Mall and ate dinner  at Doolittles, which we can recommend to everyone it was a really good restaurant.
