What is really nice in Copenhagen, is to walk a kilometre or two away from the centre in random direction. Find a nice pub and sit down to have a beer. The atmosphere is great with a lot of nice, interesting people to talk to.

"The car-free Strøget (the world’s longest pedestrians-only street) twinkles under holiday lights; shops feature elaborate displays; a huge spruce blazes splendiferously; the wondrous Tivoli Gardens, closed most of the winter, opens a Christmas market among its amusement park marvels; Royal Copenhagen Porcelain offers its latest holiday plates, bells, and ornaments. Copenhagen is a city whose charm unfolds at a leisurely pace, and if you rush, you miss it.

You’ll certainly want to enjoy the renowned smørrebrød, the open-faced sandwich offered all over town. At Ida Davidsen, run by the “Queen of Smørrebrød,” you’ll find creations featuring the ubiquitous horseradish, liberal sprinklings of paprika, and such delights as a Bombay Curry Salad of ham and chicken. But leave some room for capsicum; spicy cuisine, particularly Asian-influenced, has become au courant. Thai food is currently in greatest vogue, transformed by Danish fish and vegetables to a tangy fusion joy. At the casually hip Wokshop, a lovely little Thai place in the heart of the old city, dishes on pastel, asymmetrical plates present visual as well as culinary pleasure, with everything from green curry to spicy beef salad demonstrating an East-meets-West creativity. “We can sauté some dried chiles in the pan for people who like extra spice,” says our friendly waiter, who has evidently (and correctly) deduced that I’m one of those people.

All the city’s voguish chefs are experimenting with capsicum. At Schultz, my favorite eatery in town, chef Allan Schultz uses it for both flavor and color, in such dishes as red curry monkfish that’s part of my multicourse “tasting menu” extravaganza. Schultz prefers to keep his chile use subtle: “If I overdid the spice in dish No. 2,” he comments, “you wouldn’t be able to taste dishes 3 and 4.” Sit in this cave-like spot, with curving white walls flecked with blue, jars of preserved spices, and a dish of dried thyme topped by—you guessed it—chiles. It’s urbane and friendly Copenhagen in a nutshell."

From all I've ever heard you should leave yer GF at home. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Friend of mine is ~70. Has a 30 y.o. stepson. Sez the kid lost his virg at 16 w/a Danish exchange student in his HS. Sez w/o question she was the best looking girl he's ever seen in his life. After her year was up she wanted the kid to go back to Den w/her; her parents and my friend & his wife were all for it.

Kid sez fvck that, and to his credit he's bagged 100's o'er the years since. I saw a Danish family of tourists here a couple years ago; their ~18 y.o. daughter made Elin Nordegren-Woods look like Chris Farley. Other guy, Army fella, told me Norway was insane in the '60s-'80s. 'magine Dubya's killed it all for Yanks now. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Seriously, I'd love to spend all of 7/06 in Copenhagen, tho I doubt it's possible. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Buddy of mine and his wife went there on the honeymoon and loved it. Cope's prolly the only place in the northern hemi I got any interest in going to. I hear Amsterdam's played out like a CBGB's T-shirt(tho I'd love to be told otherwise).

Assuming unlimited $ and time, I spend several years driving across the US & Canada, and an entire winter in Aus/NZ & another in Brazil. The rest is all beach, baby.

Thank God I went to England & Paris when I did[1985], although I wish I'd stayed a lot longer than three weeks and gone all over the Continent. Not to mention not had mum along... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Sorry for digressin', have a good time!

I can second the notion that Danish girls are HOT. I've spent over a month in Denmark doing recording work over the past couple of years. Even when it's freezing outside, the college girls are all tan with short skirts, blond hair, and large breasts. Things to do in Copenhagen? Hook up a threesome with your gf and a hot scantily-clad Danish woman.
