3 countries/3 meals/1 day

photos are coming later. Internets here in the Dubai hotel sucks.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, quite a lot was achieved…

Breakfast in Copenhagen… Breakfast buffet from the hostel actually. It was pretty dodgy and way overpriced (like everything in Denmark tends to be), but it was close and convenient, and I needed to make a quick getaway to jump on a train over to Malmo (Sweden)

Lunch in Malmo. Subway. Because I was trying to keep it cheap, because I had no idea what anything else was and because I was trying to make it snappy. I only had 2 or so hours to hang out in Sweden.

So the one thing that definitely rings true about Swedish stereotypes is that the women are well hot. I don’t know how it works, catch a train 40 mins away to Copenhagen and well yeh, they’re decent, but they’re definitely not on the same level. Malmo was actually a pretty rad little place, I was under the impression it was just some lame little town that cashed in on dumb tourists (read: ME) who decide to travel the 40 mins from Copenhagen to say “I’ve been to Sweden, lol!” but it was a fun little place with quaint little buildings, lots of cobbled lane ways and all that kind of thing… Didn’t seem like there was heaps to do, but it would be great to stay there a night or two.

So hopped back on the train to Copenhagen, picked my gear up from the hostel and scrambled back to the airport for the flight to London. It was only as I checked in I realised I was flying in to Stansted. That place sucks, so far out and such a pain in the butt. Anyways, tried getting in to London as quick as possible to get to my hostel and make tracks for the Jonah Matranga show.

Long story short, I had dinner in london. A Cheese and tomato pizza. It ruled. I washed it down with Dr Pepper. I like Dr Pepper. While eating dinner I watched the simpsons on the TV in the pizza parlour, some crazy walked in off the street and told some guy he looked like Enrique Iglesias and that guy had this sort of “ohhhhhkayyyyy?” kind of look on his face. I found that pretty funny… Then he spotted these 2 French girls in the corner and said “you’re Australian” to them, they shook their heads, then he guessed about 7 other naitonalities and failed completely, so walked back out again.

Anyways there was no point to that story.

I went to Jonah Matranga. Rocked up right as he walked on stage. He was KILLER! Covered Ginuine (PONY!!), some Beyonce and Deftones, and obviously played a bunch of stuff from all his bands/solo stuff. Awesome show. I also picked up the Frank Turner split 12″ he’s on and got it signed. I message Lu, she was major jealous.

The end.

Photodump of Danish awesomeness

This place looks rad in real life too.

The Little Mermaid - ON BIG SCREEN!

Some giant angel statue. Looked pretty rad.

Cannon at the old fort

One of the streets in Copenhagen

A lion eating a horse. BAD. ASS!

Beer by the water

Giant swing chair ride in Tivoli

Walking through Tivoli

The ride on which I came within seconds of blacking out (the one with swingy arm things). Trust me, this was more badass than anything else I've experienced on this trip so far.

Way to suck, Mermaid statue.

I went swimming down there in those pools. It was spastic cold. I also jumped off a 5m platform. Simultaneous poop and pee.

Something about tourists farting...?

A day in Copenhagen

Because I don’t feel like writing much detail, here’s a summary:

- walked all morning
- saw the Royal Residencies
- went to where the Little Mermaid normally resides. Currently it is somewhere in Asia, so there’s a TV screen with a picture of the Little Mermaid on it. Way to make a boring, insignificant statue even more boring and insignificant.
-  walked through Kings Park
- attempted to look for clothes… before realising the value of the Danish Kroner is ridonkulous!
- went to Tivoli (amusement park) and almost blacked out. Will fill you in on the details later. The park doesn’t offer massive amounts, but the little it does offer is fair intense. Aside from it’s EXACT replica of the Little Mermaid. Even it sucks. Get better symbols, Copenhagen.
- may have gotten another piercing.
- sat in maccas using up their free internet while eating deep fried cheesy Camembert bites.

Denmark still rules.

I’m thinking of giving up on my Gothenburg half-hatched plans… it’s going to cost the best part of $200 for the car, I’ll get in at maybe 6 or 7 pm, and will have to head back to Copenhagen by about 11am the next morn. Doesn’t seem worth it. Instead I think over the next day and a half I’ll go visit Christiania (old fort turned hippie commune), head out on a train to Roskilde for a look at some killer Viking boats, then over to Malmo which is now a part of Sweden. I will get to Sweden one way or another dammit!

Pretty sure it’s time to head back to Tivoli for a couple more rides.

Adios muchachos!

Copenhagen

I’ve been here for less than an hour and already this place rules harder than Kim Jong Il.
