Hi again, Finally up to date now! We arrived here last night and are staying in a lovely little hotel (Hotel St Thomas) quite near the centre of town. Have a nice breakfast included each morning - most places have had similar and we have been able to eat our normal cereal and piece of toast, then I make a ham & cheese bread roll or sandwich for us to take for lunch as cold meats and cheese are usually provided as well. Today we went on a 2.5 hr guided bus tour of Copenhagen - very good with a live guide for a change rather than a recorded commentary in multiple languages which don't always work very well! Stopped a couple of times to see special sights like the changing of the guards outside the ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Apparently there is big house in Nørrebro (our neighbourhood) that's a youth collective (called Ungdomshuset) & is let out to students - but it's prime real estate & was sold to someone a few years ago who now wants to renovate & use it for something else, so the students have been given notice to leave. Naturally being students they protested (peacefully) on the Saturday of the last weekend of Sept. & that was all fine - but apparently one has to tell the cops 1st if one is protesting so they can close the road etc. which they did for the Sat.- so anyway they decided to have another one on the Sunday at the last minute but didn't apply for the cop permit quick enough (or something), also one is not allowed ... read more

I really wanted to go to a European Christmas market as this will most likely be our last Christmas over here. I chose Copenhagen so we took off there for a weekend before Dad arrived and Christmas. Visited Tivoli Gardens, had a good walk around the city, drank lots of glogg (mulled wine), went to the Museum Erotica and generally took in the sights. It was great to get away for the weekend but I wouldn't say that it was my favourite city. The Christmas Markets weren't as good as I imagined they would be (unless we didn't go to the right ones!). Great city to go shopping in if you've got loads of money!... read more

A week ago, I went on an excursion with 10 others from my building and friends of ours. The group drove in two cars (European cars of course, so quite a cramped ride for 10...). Hamburg was the first stop, but I didn't leave with the group on Saturday because I was going to another Awakenings on Saturday night in Amsterdam. So the rest of the group went to Hamburg and I went to the show. I'm glad I got to fly to meet up with them, I saw pictures of the car ride, and it looked cozy to say the least... On Saturday night, the concert was good. It wasn’t as amazing as the last time (Dad was right, it can never be as good as the first...), but I still had a great time. ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Saw The Roots .... & EPMD ...Were probably the oldest people there but not obviously so - as in the other punters weren't teeny boppers. The Roots brought the house down, from the angle we were at it was weird to see all the movements of people on the balcony to the music, mostly head bopping. It was in a club called Vega which is good with a 70's decor thing going on & is a cross between Red Box & Vicar St in Dublin. After The Roots some of them did a dj set & they were mingling with the crowd (incl. right beside us) this would not happen in Dublin. Epmd were good too but no one in the baclonies this time & they did 1 version of 'Jane' (for those of ... read more

Geo: 55.6763, 12.5681Our friends M&E arrived thurs night when we had lovely home cooked dinner a la C. & few beverages until the early hours. Fri C. did his super dooper walking tour of Cph with them, while I was at work, where I think he covered all the highlights incl. brunch, mermaid & changing of the guard... So I met them in Nyhavn at tea time for aperitifs & then we hit Wookstock in Christiania & the Spiseloppen restaurant which we hadn't been to in ages & was still as brilliant as ever! Then we got the metro back & walked to a local bar we call 'Under the bike', as that's a literal translation of it but I can't remember what's its really called, followed by Christmas beer & whiskey & gin at home ... read more
