Back again, only a few mintues later!
I went to Copenhagen, Denmark this weekend to visit Lindsay Garet! It was a lot fun, yet cold. But hey, I should be used to the cold since it has been rainy & freezing here the past few weeks. Copenhagen is not the type of city that you go to to visit a lot of sites etc.. It is not like Madrid or other major cities where there is a ton of sites to see and things to do. It is still a beautiful city and one that I would recommend if you were in the Scandinavian area but not for in the Winter times. The Tivoli Gardens, amusement park etc.. is not open until April and that is supposed to be the biggest attraction there. Oh well, it was still a great time. I really liked how all the buildings looked. They were much more colorful than Madrid & built upwards( I don't know how to explain this). Even if the buildings were connected , they looked separated by the different colors.
I am going to be lazy( as usual) & try not to write a lot because estoy consada.
I finally missed my first class of the year, woo ha. I got to Denmark in the mid afternoon which was nice because we had the whole day. Lindsay & I went to Stroget Street, which is the famous shopping street with stores galore. I was trying to look for black boots because mine have a hole in them but I had no such luck, boo. Anyway, this was a great street with tons of stores that I miss from home( Urban Oufitters). Lindsay told me I must try the Hot Dogs here because they are amazing. So I did , they were. Nom nom nom. Later that night we went to a club called Kulobar & wall street. Everything was soo much fun !
---> I had my first real Danish :) Even though she told me that Danish's weren't really invented there, hmm
I saw the Round Tower, The Amberilog(spl) Palace, Castles, The Little Mermaid Statue, the Canal, lakes etc... Too bad the gardens weren't pretty enough at this time oh well. KeWl FaCt: Hans Christensen, based his fairy tale The Little Mermaid off the statue that is in Copenhagen. Also, which I didn't get to see because it was at least an hr away, Shakespears Hamlet was written about a Castle in Copenhagen.
We did the Carlsberg Brewery Tour on Saturday which was a lot fun. It was a self-guided tour but then we got 2 beers of our choice at the end! We got to see the largest unopened beer bottle collection in the world. I think there is 19,000 and going strong. Bottles from every country etc.. We then took took a day trip, well more like 3 hours trip to Sweden. Malmo, Sweden is only 30 minutes away by train so it is very accesible.We basically just at lunch there but boy was it one of THE BEST lunches ever. We ate at a place called Chili YUMMMYYY...I want to go back. Night time was bar Barcelona. It was a nice chill relaxing place to go to since I had to be up at 7:30 am for my flight back home!
CAME BACK TO AMAZINGGGGGGGGG WEATHER WOO!! It was high 50's & Sunny. It couldn't have been better. I walked around with Kayla, got Donor Kabob( yum) & found out that the metro Cuatro Caminos is about a 5 minute walk from us. What you discover when you stop being lazy & start being adventurous.
Hasta Leugo( as in 5 minutes until my next post)
