Task #2
Howdy,
I'd like to start this blog off with some interesting articles of the real estate market in Denmark. Real estate can be a lot of things - residential, industrial etc. Denmark has been widely recognized for it's position in architecture especially with regards to public buildings as well as innovative measures in public transportation. Let me give you an example of he latter and will return to the public buildings soon.
Automobile rides in Copenhagen is very expensive. The Danish government excise a 180% car-tax resulting in some of the most expensive cars in the world (e.g. a small Smart-car can be as much as $20.000). Also, pricy gas gives incentive for many people to ride their bicycles regularly. This has driven the council of Copenhagen to invest in a 35 million kroner ($7 mill) elevated bicycle lane for bikers to commute swiftly through Copenhagen. This article is in Danish (http://politiken.dk/indland/ECE2327966/et-aar-forsinket-endelig-faar-koebenhavnerne-cykelslangen/) but I will highlight the main points here:
The bicycle lane is called the Snake Bridge from the orange looked lane and the way it's curling through the canals in inner Copenhagen. The bridge has been on it's way for several years and is the first of it's kind in the world expected to help 10.000 travelers commute to inner Copenhagen every day.
I really like how the Danish government facilitate the use of environmental friendly transportation in a different but still esthetic way. I believe Denmark has many types of interesting pieces of real estate but this one stands out to me the most because it's not only beautiful real estate but it's useful at the same time.

Introduction
Howdy!
This blog will contain updates of the knowledge that I acquire while I'm studying aboard at Texas A&M University. As a finance major, I'm taking a course of decision making in American Real Estate whilst in America and will therefore use this blog to highlight what I like about real estate coming from Denmark and how that in many was is the same and/or is different from real estate in America. First, let me briefly introduce myself so you know what I'm about.
My name is Peter Pudselykke and as pointed out before I'm a foreign exchange student taking this fall semester of my senior year at Mays Business School, Texas A&M. I'm a finance major originally from a smaller town 40 miles outside Copenhagen, the capitol of Denmark but I'm taking my bachelor degree at Copenhagen Business School (which by the way is ranked 3rd in business schools of 1000 schools in the world behind the business program in Harvard and London Business School http://www.cbs.dk/node/236991). I'm taking this course (FINC 371) since Copenhagen Business School doesn't offer electives in real estate and because I think real estate is interesting and difficult especially after the credit- and liquidity crisis in the last decade. My goals for this class is to get a basic understanding on what drives real estate in American and pair that with the basic understanding I have coming from Denmark and the real estate market in my home country. So I'm really looking forward for this class.
Coming from Denmark, it's a bit unusual that I have been playing football for the last 6 years of my life (since people in general play soccer). Of European standards I was doing fairly well e.g. I spend some years on the Danish national team competing in the Scandinavian as well as the European Championships. Football is my main hoppy, so I suppose America is the right place to go aboard to (especially in Texas). I watched my first collegiate game at Kyle field Saturday 6th so it was a pleasure to see A&M BTHO Lamar! I'm already looking forward to next game!
This kind of sums up a small introduction about myself. I will regularly post updates regarding my financial class of real estate with emphasis on the differences between America and Denmark as mentioned in the prophase.
