Seeing is Believing
Sam Liwei Chen

Sam(陈力威)：来奥胡斯之前并不知道奥胡斯是丹麦的文化中心，可以说对奥胡斯的了解也仅仅停留在丹麦第二大城市，人口30万左右，这是一个环境优美，适宜居住生活的地方。俗话说：“眼见为实。”来到奥胡斯的第一天，我就被这里的环境深深吸引。城市真的不大，可能没有中国的一个镇那么大，它给人的感觉也就是一个小镇。麻雀虽小五脏俱全，有着“最小的大城市”之称的奥胡斯，给人的感觉就是十分的贴近生活，在这里，超市，邮局，商场，公共汽车等设施散落在奥胡思的各个角落，方便了居民的日常生活。奥胡斯给我印象最深的是文化气息，大大小小的博物馆分布在城市的东南西北，记录着城市的成长，过去的历史和未来的展望。剧院，电影院和画廊也比比皆是。我最喜欢的博物馆当属莫斯加德博物馆，其中维京博物馆是最吸引我的，各种武器的展示，古代生活的重现，结合高科技令我身临其境。文化和教育始终是相连的，奥胡斯拥有众多世界一流大学，奥胡斯大学和奥胡斯商学院是领衔的世界名校，坐落在市中心，教育资源丰富，环境优美，适合学习和研究。总之，奥胡斯的独特魅力对于我来说就是：当你住在这里，你一定能很快地融入这里，没有喧嚣，让人沉淀。

Mysterious Aarhus... PIC: Sam Liwei Chen

Translation:

Before I came to Aarhus, I did not know that Aarhus is the cultural centre of Denmark. All I knew about Aarhus, was that it is the second largest city in Denmark with around 300 000 in population. It has a beautiful environment, which is very suitable for residence.

There is an old saying, “Seeing is believing.”
I was deeply attracted by the surroundings the first day when I arrived in Aarhus. Indeed Aarhus is not a big city, probably no bigger than a town in China, still I would conclude it in one sentence: “The sparrow may be small but it has all the vital organs.” Renowned for its nickname: “The smallest big city,” Aarhus  reaches every corner in our life. Here we can see supermarkets, post-offices, shopping malls, public buses and other facilities scattered in the city, which is very convenient for people. What impresses me most is the cultural atmosphere in Aarhus. All kinds of museums are available to people in the city, which witness the growth of the city, record the history and look into the future. Also, theatres and art galleries can been found everywhere.

My favourite museum is definitely the Moesgård Museum. Among the different sections in the Moesgård Museum, the Viking museum fascinates me most. The demonstration of ancient Viking weapons, the recurrence of simulations of ancient life with the aid of high technology leave me the impression as if I were in the Viking age. Cultures are closely connected with education. Aarhus possesses many world top universities such as Aarhus University and the Aarhus School of Business. Located in the centre of the city, with rich education resources and beautiful environment, Aarhus University is a ideal place to study and research.

All in all, the glamour of Aarhus to me is that when you live here, it is very easy to adapt to the life here and settle down without disturbance.
