We spent another day exploring in Copenhagen, visiting the ´free town´ of Christiania, which was formed by some squatters in an old army barracks in the 1970´s. If you try to take pictures they will smash the camera but it is a hippie area - graffiti and all- best for underground rock bands and vegan food - just hop off at the metro stop Christianshavn and you are there... unlike anything else in Denmark and a must see for any tourists. If you are ...

... with for the next few dazs. He reallz had a great carefree personalitz, or as DP said " No ambition". NOne the less, the next thing we knew, we were all being guided bz me to the cheapest pub for beer, probablz not the best choice. We finallz got to a small bar, were the beer was relativelz cheap, at 4 CAD per pint. The Kiwi, Bowen , or as he perfered to be called, Mango, decided that he had the ...

One day in Copenhagen. Drove down with Lewis & Ginny from their home in Almhult, Sweden. Our main destination within the city was the Rosenborg Castle. The castle was built in the early 1600s but other phases were added later. We merged into a tour with a guide that was American and quite good and the castle itself was ...

12 August 2008, Tuesday, Copenhagen We were all up early and got away before our 7am deadline. We had allowed ourselves plenty of time. Jan-Erik drove us to the rail station. No traffic to speak of, lovely morning with clear blue skies. Bought our pensioner tickets, ½ price so it cost 220.00kr for the 2 of us instead of each. As luck would have it I had exactly 220.00 Swedish kroner. We got straight on the train, which left as soon ...

... Seems authentic Danish furniture comes at a high price...well over 3000 Danish Kroner for the trolley. That's more than $700 US Dollars. So although we're not bringing an authentic Danish serving trolley back to Virginia, we are bringing a newly expanded appreciation for Danish design. Yours in making plans to fire up the table saw, Kelly

... 3rd & 4th. But it was right on the water and lovely. I tried taking a picture with my phone to send to Em to have him translate, but that service was not available here. Damn! Then I realized he speaks Dutch, not Dane! No water bus, so we walked some more, which was nice by the water, and made our way to an even lovelier canal area full of expensive boats and lined with expensive cafes. It is so picturesque, just what you ...

... for me because I didn't know a word of Danish. It's such a bizarre language. It has similarities to German but it's also very scandinavian. After her class we went and got a real danish. It was phenomenal, as it should be since I'm assuming this is where they originate from. Then we just kind of started walking in the general direction of where the little mermaid statue was. We went through this really nice park next to an old palace that is now a ...

... sure at one point they were actually driven all the way within the walls of this. Today, you can just walk right in. People go jogging on top of the rampart walls as there's a walking path. Some people jog right through. The weird thing is, it's still completely functional. It holds all the offices for Denmark that the Pentagon does in the US and the headquarters for their version of ...

... soon after we landed in Copenhagen. The summer was off to a great start! I was picked up by DIS, my study abroad program, along with several other students at the airport. We made our way to an auditorium for a welcome session that included two performances from a string quartet. I should have taken a picture, but it was really beautiful and a nice welcome. Erik, the director of the program, gave the welcoming to us all and told us we had an exciting ...

30-May Copenhagen Well, as it has been in Scandinavia, yesterday was clear and hot and today was cloudy, windy and cold. We spent the day with some new friends Aki (please forgive the spelling, it is probably incorrect) and Cathy. Cathy, a Greek-Canadian we met on the plane to Copenhagen to meet with her Greek-German fiancé and get married in July in Greece. They were very hospitable and we spent the afternoon seeing the ...
