Cultural remarks

At the lunch table, talk shifted to gay marriages and finding gay handymen. To which Ivan replied that it would definitely be easier to get a gay organist than a gay handyman - as half of the organ players in Aarhus are openly gay. It also turns out that the church here is completely ok with that and even allows its ministers to perform gay marriages in churches.

After lunch some people went to the roof. I joined them later and they seemed to be discussing theoretical biology. I joined in - turns out following the theoretical biology list has its benefits - and Ivan remarked "why am I not surprised". It seems they have realized that I am weird already, and they do not mind. Always good to know :)

The student faculties are very nice here. For instance, the cellar here houses a ping-pong and a fuseball table and in the building where the lectures are held, there are about 10 whiteboards for student use.. along with comfy chairs. Faculties for the staff are also fairly nice, of course (except possibly for the outdated Redhat enterprise linux being used, although you are free to install your own operating system).
