Day 1 of CPh started with a mad race to the airport to catch the plane. well, lets just not talk about it.

it continued with a trip to Ripley's believe it or not museum and HAns Christian Andersen's museum (my childhood dream!). it continued with a walk in the Orchard Road of CPH and a boat tour ard the city. the houses and ships were so pretty, you'll feel like you have entered another different space and time. (totally different from our first time there) although the wind was super strong and we were practically freezing most of the time, it was quite enjoyable. (kangwei was shivering the most he had to use my muffler) Guiness World of records was next and what an eye opener it was!

Day 1 ended wit a buffet at one of the Lonely planet's recommendation. $20SGD for a Vegetarian buffet which included potatoes, pasta and whatever else.. hahaha it was goood!

Day 2 started quite early with us walking around the town of CHristiana. as Jamie is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to tell you more about the place, i'll levae it to her to tell you how unique this little town is.

we had lunch at a famous bakery with nice little pastries (Aya was sooo happy), and we splited ourselves in 2 groups, with one heading to the national museum, while the other group went straight to tivoli.

i guess you can guess who is in each group.

tivoli is awesome! it does not have the presence of disneyland, but it certainly has a charm of its own. its a nice little town with beautiful atmosphere especially at night. the schmaltz felt is indescribable. its a nice romantic place. if i were to go back to copenhagen again at the end of year (which i most likely will), i want to spend my New Year's Eve there. guess its the best way to get through the night!

took many rides there, even take double. esp the rollercoaster names "the Demon", where yi wen, Uta and i sat twice, and on the second time, yi wen and i actually sat front row. goodness. haha.. it is an experience turning 360 degrees twice with nothing in front of you. i guess i'll go on and on about it in another post..

the fireworks display was awesome, i've never seen such a great display in my life. the start and the end is beautiful. spore should see their display.

day 2 ended happily.

day 3 started out with everybody overslept. hahaha.. too tired from the fun we had the previous day. aya had to stay in to finish her assignment =(

we called it cheapo day because we went places without entrance fees like the art museum next to our hostel. and we visited rosenborg castle (surroundings only, cos we woke up late), with big birdcages, and the king's garden where we went crazy taking self portraits on grass ( its the green row u see up tehre..)

we walked 2736437473289683274169821740219 km that day, walking past the little mermaid and a really pretty church of which i can't remember its name, walked past Mersk, the largest shipping company or sth like that.

dinner was at another lonely Planet recommendation called cafe sth. hahaha.. can't remember, but boy, i indulged in a $30+ SGd salmon pasta, and it tasted heavenly, although it was just too much.

walked home with wennie, while the rest grabbed a city bicycle, and headed towards the drug area, Christiana, to experience the night life there. had a nice great long chat with wennie.

wennie: really happy you are in this exchange with us. REALLY REALLY REALLY love you!
