Recently I went to Copenhagen for a short interlude trip.
A couple of photo’s here.
I would add more photos to my flickr account, but I don’t have much uploading storage room…
Free bikes- The city touts itself as the bicycle capital of the world due to its loaning of free bikes. Which is great. Biking around a city is the best way to go around it. Unfortunately I have to say that those bikes were the most uncomfortable and bizarre biking experiences I’ve ever had. It felt like a really cheap exercise bike that peaked at 6km/hr and had a tendency to slow down (rather than speed up) as you went downhill. It has a narrow handle bar that makes your rotational steering uber sensitive. This handle bar also sits up high- making you sit up right. So the following day, we paid a small fee and hired a real bike.
The architecture of Cophenhagen isn’t one I’ll remember. There were interesting moments, such as the artist community of Christiania (which we were forbidden to photograph) and small pockets of residences, but overall, the contemporary injections (that had lots of BIG projects) appeared too designed, facadal, formal, dry and rather austere. The contemporary architecture was modernism all over again with contemporary frills. It may look good in architectural magazines but it really does nothing to stimulate life & activity. What I did enjoy, were the textural and material surfaces but again these were applied in massive shear walls & forms.

Hmm, I don’t think I can answer regarding the clothes. I haven’t looked… Although I do see a lot of stylish artsy folks. I should look for clothes, I have holes in half of my socks, and holes in my gloves and a hole developing in my cardigan. One of the sisters has told me numerous times (jokingly) to go shopping. At my resistance to that, she says she’ll buy me socks. Haha… There is this cool winter hat I’m thinking about purchasing. It keeps your head REALLY warm. It’s like a permanent pillow. But when I smile and reveal my teeth, I look like a beaver.
So, unit hunting! Just for you and Ju? Or are there more people wanting in?
And no worries about the writing on all my entries. It does wonders for one’s self-blog-worth. Haha.
