Cold But Happy
Well hello, I am still in Copenhagen. It is considerably drier than it was on Friday but it is also considerably colder. I am definitely getting a preview of my visit home.
I left you on Friday evening. I went out and had a few drinks and a nice meal with Madde and some of her friends. It certainly is an international group here. Friday it was Naja (born in Denmark but grew up in Norway), Sam her Australian boyfriend and Sergei the Russian Mexican who lived in Canada and Spain. Few pints, bit of food, drinks and dancing - the usual Friday night thing.
Saturday Mad had a paper to write so I went off on my own to do a bit of sightseeing. As usual I forgot my camera so you will just have to take my word for it that I saw The Little Mermaid and the Kings residences, some cool statues and a very cute little street with people selling Christmas stuff from festively decorated little huts. Copenhagen is a beautiful city but bigger than I thought and I was grumpy because I walked my but off and my feet hurt. But what better way to see a place? Apparently all the stores close at 5:00pm on weekdays so everyone has to shop on Saturdays it was sooooo busy. It made Oxford Street at Christmas seem deserted. That m,ade me grumpy too. I got Sally's present at the store I mentioned. Very cool - lets hope she likes it.
Saturday night we went to the Museum Erotica. I dunno not much to tell really a few old pots with sex scenes painted on them, a few playboys pictures, a room dedicated to Marilyn Monroe(?!?!) and a room showing porn movies. Bit seedy really. Alicia (Peru) and Eustace (Indian Portuguese) came along and we ended up in an Irish pub talking to Norwegians, Finns and a guy from Ghana. Very international weekend.
We have taken it easy today. Sorry for the typing errors on these last two posts. I am using Madde's computer with its Swedish keyboard and everything is in a different place. Also, it has al these extra weird keys - Ö ä å Ä Å.
