The 19-year-old from Denmark is spending six weeks in the Donegal area as a guest of members of the Mount Joy Rotary Club, her sponsor under the International Experiment of Living Program, and she is having a good time. ‘‘Every- one is so friendly here,’’ she explains. Nina at one time lived in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark, but she currently resides in the island town of Nyberg. She likes the surroundings of her island home but misses the bright lights and city life. Nina came to the United States with 72 others from 32 countries. The group arrived in New York City, and the Danish lass says she was in awe of the skyscrapers in the ‘“‘big city. The tallest structure in Denmark is six stories high.” While in New York, Nina and a Danish friend toured the World Trade Center and marveled at the height of the structure. ‘‘It made us feel like such little people, ”’ she laughs. Nina does miss some of her native delights, such as black sour bread. ‘‘The food here is good,” she says, “but the food at home is better. We do all our cooking from scratch; no mixes. And Danish people do not eat beans.” Nina has completed high school but is not certain about her future plans. She has considered teaching, library work and language interpretation in either Eng- lish or French. She also speaks German, Swedish, Norweigen and Latin. Denmark, although a Monarchy, leans toward a socialistic government, Nina tells us. There is heavy unemployment and citizens with low income are main- tained by the government. Schools have no tuition, and students are reimbursed in ° various ways according to their activities. The ill and the elderly are cared for by the government. Nina’s father is a “‘Ship Broker’’ in Denmark. A ship owners and the shipper to get the best all around price WO Nina Neilsen and Mrs. Victor Baer for cargo delivery. Nina also has a younger sister. Music is her favorite subject, and she enjoys opera and ballet. She studies ballet three nights a week and says she is fascinated with the routines. Although Nina herself has no native costume, each Province in Denmark has a typical dress. ‘You see more bright colors in my country,” she tells our reporter, ‘‘but jeans with wide cuffs are favored by the teenagers.” Nina bought a pair of the preferred jeans her first day here.
