Duxiana Helsingborg

... and not appear to be a foreigner - the only thing that will give you away is your accent so just don't open your mouth except for Hej and Tak (hello and thanks). It is really expensive here - I have been told by the Danes that they put up to 25% tax on everything (NICE) including food and as a result everything is really expensive - most of all meat - I am thinking I will go vegetarian for the most part and meat only on special occasions! I have been ...

... however a whole industry has sprung up around travel via ferry from Sweden to Denmark because Sweden and Denmark have different tax rates for certain items. For example, tobacco products are much cheaper in Sweden but alcohol is cheaper in Denmark because of lower tax rates. Additionally, the Denmark krone is tied to the Euro, whilst the Swedish kronor is not...meaning a very favourable exchange ...

... I thought was comical. Me and Dzlan decided to have a picnic in a park, seeing as open alcohol was legal in the citz. It was reallz fun, as we had salted fish and bread, along with the local cheap beer. When we got back, we decided to watch AFV (americas home funniest videos), the onlz show I could find that everz one liked. There was a cute girl that laughed with us, and we met a Kiwi, who we would ...

... Centre. It was AMAZING!!! At night all the old buildings are lit up with lights and the park has lanterns strung across it. There are amazing restaurants in there and bandstands playing all kinds of music. It also has a fairground with games and rollercoasters etc. Was very beautiful and had an amazing atmosphere. I am definitely coming back! And I am definitely going on all the rides!!

... bags were left in the handy locker facilities, and we went to reserve our seat on the night train. We were told that the German booking system was broken, and, as a result, we would have to come back and reserve a seat with the guard on the train, which seemed a relatively simple solution. We then toured Copenhagen for the major sights, having until early evening before we had to be back at the station. We had a good look ...

... the whole place with residents sitting around drinking beer, playing marbles and working in their shops. The bars and cafes are all pretty cheap compared to the "outside world" probably because they still haven't jumped on the tax paying bandwagon like the rest of the countries residents. I have attached some of the Christianian artwork, the Alice in Wonderland piece is my favourite. Amsterdam to Copenhagen 536 miles

... channels change to porn Everyone speaks English though which makes things a lot easier (although no one seems to write in English ie. menus, labels) and we're only a few bus stops aways from the Carlsberg brewery. So a couple days ago we went and did the tour there which consisted of quite a few plaques and various rooms before ending at the much anticipated tasting room. Yesterday we made the short trek to Helsingor ...

... know my self better, had a chance to measure my personality against a different culture and come out triumphant. And now I am back in Denmark... What now? My heart and my head have two very different answers. My heart says: "**** it all, I'm of again, right now!". I have invitations in Japan, Korea, Canada, USA, Australia and Thailand, and I want to accept them all. My ...

... the nearest bar and get a couple of drinks before retiring for the night. Dave grabbed some beers and a seat while I went down for a ****. In the toilets there was a bloke with his pants down burning off his pubes with a lighter. A little disturbing. I went up stairs sat down and told Dave my experience - he just looked at me wierd and said "Oh, it gets much worse - have a look around...". Oh yes, we had jagged the gayest gay bar in town.

... and make our way from Malmo (Sweden!) to Roskilde where we were working but no one had told us how we were supposed to get there and there was one bus a day that left from the airport that went to Copenhagen but we missed that because our flight was delayed. So when we worked out which country we had actaully arrived in we gradually made our way into Copenhagen. When we got into Copenhagen at lunch time we walked around for a bit (there was 8 of us all ...
