Simon had class this morning so Courtney, Shelby and I left the house and meant to meet Simon in KBH but we took a detour. SWEDEN is a beautiful country or at least what we saw when we accidentaly went there! We spent about half an hour in Sweden and I had to put the Southern Charm on the toll both lady not to charge us for entering and leaving the country, it was great. After our adventure in Sweden was fun but Simon was waiting for us in KBH. We got back on track and finally meet up with Simon for some lunch. The last things on my list were Christiania, the hippie town. Hippies squatted on an old military base and they won the "squatting rights" to it so now it is a free ... read more

Vi tog desvaerre ingen billeder af hjemrejsen, da det bare var lufthavn paa lufthavn og saa en togtur! Men selve hjemrejsen tog lige omtrendt 48 timer...det er altsaa meget lang tid! Vi tog en taxa fra hotellet i Hollywood til LAX...lufthavnen i LA. Der tjekkede vi vores bagage ind, undtaget vores backpacks, som vi tog med paa flyet. De fire tasker skulle saa transporteres fra LA til Koebenhavn, hvilket betoed, at der skulle skiftes fly tre gange! Vi var meget spaendte paa, om kufferterne naaede helt frem... men det gjorde de, helt uden problemer! Mega laekkert! Men vores tur startede saa med en ca. 6 timers flyvetur fra LA til New York. I JFK lufthavnen i New York skulle vi saa vente 6 timer, som vi brugte paa at koere rundt med lufthavnstaaget imellem de 9 ... read more

Read this article on EuropeUpClose at http://www.europeupclose.com/visit-a-happy-place-copenhagen-denmark/ and on the St. Christopher's Inn website: http://www.st-christophers.co.uk/backpacker-resources/travel-stories/denmark/the-happiest-place-on-earth This year, when trying to beat the winter blahs, why not try something a little different than the typical tropical locations? After all, what better place to cheer yourself up than in Denmark, the official Happiest Place on Earth? For three years in a row, the World Values Survey has bestowed that title on Denmark. The elaborate survey, conducted over a number of years in countries all around the world, takes into consideration factors such as education, health and welfare. One major reason for Denmark’s prosperity is that its taxes are sky-high, the government, in return, takes care of all health care and education, makin... read more

Today, I fetched our chinese visa - piece of cake! The travel agency mentioned problems, minimum 3 weeks for each visum - definitely not true! Keep smiling, even if NOBODY in the russian or chinese embassy seems to know even the verb, and it will, together with a good book and plenty of time, result in success. Clearly, the mongolian service was the best: polite, smiling, informative, fast (2 days!), and the most expensive: 3.125,00 DKK! compared to the chinese (1.150,00) and the russian (2.180,00) a real Rolls Royce. Makes us curious, what will meet us in each country, regarding smiles and service. On Friday, 15th, we will have a little goodbye-party, and then on monday - off we go! By the way: we found a really nice guy who rents our house for some month, ... read more
