Late on this post, as no one was reading, cept Har apperently, anyway, went to Denmark a couple weeks ago for our "October Break" (like 3 days). I was really excited to go, especially to Wood Wood (more on that later), and Norse. This was my first time in the city, Denmark, and Scandanavia, and I liked it alot.
We arrived on a Sunday, so no one was out in the streets. It was cold, not so cold you'd need a jacket, a kind of empty cold. The city was empty aswell, and it the mood seemed very much to match the weather. First thing we saw when arriving at the airport tho was this guy,
he was pumped to be there, ergo, I was too. Ceal (Har and I's mom for those who don't kno) initially had some stupid sheet of directions telling us to go on platform 2 from the airport on the metro to where our hotel was. Seeing as there were like 3 platform 2's, we bought subway tickets and hopped on the next train from platform two. The first thing I thought was "this train is awfully nice for a subway car" and it was as our view of a city out our window faded with each passing minute, we found we were on a national rail service.
This was after our first stop, so we agreed "we'll get off at the next one". Of course, it was an express national rail service, so we were outside the city by the time the train next stopped. We got off, and Ceal thought she had lost her money and was FREAKING OUT. Of course, it was in her stupid purse. We took the next national rail into the city and wasted our money on more tickets (every time we bought a ticket, tho no one or thing ever checked if we had them). Anyway, we eventually made it back to the city, and our metro stop.
We were in this really cool part of the city that had a canal bulit by Swedish slave POWs (LOL) and it used to be the raunchy area of the city. It was lined with bars, and the alleys off it had tatoo parlors and the likes. Very cool, very Danish, very Euro.
First thing we did was to walk down the main road and go to Tivoli, the big amusement park in the middle of the city. Turns out the street we walked on is the largest pedestrain walkway in the world, and it was lined with all sorts of shops, with the trendier ones off side streets (as Ive found is the case with most cities)
