on tuesday i made the snap decision to come to copenhagen this weekend, staying with people from melbourne in the copenhagen business school dormitories. whilst its great and easy hanging out with everyone in the dorms, i am so happy to have my beautiful apartment in paris with a proper kitchen and enough space to hang out with friends!
spent my first afternoon in copenhagen at an awesome freah food market with bella and her friend nadia. the stalls served seriously yummy stuff - egg wraps, risotto, tapas and fish tacos, among so many other things! i was in foodie heaven! saturday night we went to the best pizza restaurant in the city, and it certainly lived up to reputation - best pizza i've had in europe so far! after dinner we attempted to go out, but midnight is far too early and all the clubs were still empty :(
sunday we decided exercise was in order... so we climbed the spiral tower to get a panorama view of the city, and man my calves are sore today!
then we ventured to the christiana commune. technically it's own country, we left the european union for the afternoon to wander around the land of hippies and its permanent haze of marijuana smoke. the area was pretty filthy and abundant with wild dogs, and funnily they don't allow pictures - the residents force you to delete any photo they see you taking. anyhow, was a nice chill afternoon and then spent the evening watching movies.
today i finally surrendered and went on my first hop on - hop off bus tour in europe. copenhagen is just too cold to go wandering for hours, especially as i haven't yet bought much in the way of winter clothing, but i still chose to sit on the open top deck by myself! went on both routes and to be perfectly honest it wasn't that thrilling... i saw the world famous tivoli gardens and amusement park (which closed yesterday for the winter) and saw the home of carlesburg beer. possibly the most exciting thing of the tour was finding out the correct pronunciation of georg jensen - sounds like yorg yenson -so there we go, no more incorrect pronunciation from ignorant aussies!
very excited for dinner tonight, cooking a curry for the girls... definitely my mother's daughter, the highlights of this trip to the danish capital have all been food! back to paris tomorrow, can't wait!
