Copenhagen: An Overview

I arrived in Copenhagen on the 19th and had 12 hours to kill by myself. It pretty much was the longest day of my life since I hadn't slept since the previous morning and I was nodding off in the airport like a homeless person. I think I would have paid 100 kroner for a bed. I eventually managed to drag myself out into the city where I attempted to navigate while not get run over by the millions of bikes that were on the streets. Did you know there are more bikes in Copenhagen than actual Danes? And there's hardly any car traffic. It's amazing. Boston really needs to "jump on the bandwagon" or "off the station wagons and on the bikes," I should say...

Copenhagen is very expensive, and therefore, Kate and I only went to the free museums (art and history museums) and had falafel about three different times. Now I love falafel, don't get me wrong, but I'm just freaking sick of it now.

Our second day we also went to Tivoli, an amusement park right smack in the middle of the city. We enjoyed a beer in a reusable plastic cup (which we got reimbursed for) before riding the largest swing ride I've ever seen in my life. It was well over 150 ft in the air but I'm bad at estimating these things. Since I have a slight fear of heights, I was really surprised that once I got on the ride I was totally cool and it was great to see Copenhagen and its windmills in the distance from a bird's point of view. Or maybe an orbiting satellite's point of view...

Danish people are very sophisticated, stylish, fit, and chill. They were really friendly too, and spoke English which was helpful. I was very calm there, but also felt very under-dressed! Not to mention I was wearing my sweatshirt since it was freeezing.

Evaluations (to be done at each city)
Pizza: more like pizza-bread... delicious **** (out of 5 stars)
Coffee: not too strong, little bitter ***
Beer: nut brown ale at Brewery ($7 OUCH) ***
Bike to person ratio: 12:1
Language hilarity: **** (Danish is a language I could invent as a 5 year-old trying to sound German. They add 'g's to about everything... mandag = monday, fredag = friday, etc.)
Would I return? YES, but wearing black tights and Converse shoes since apparently they're hip there.
