København Adventures

Copenhagen is nice so far. I think it ranks right below Stockholm, and a little above Oslo, on my Scandinavian city ranking. We've gotten out a bit more, and we've been able to see more of the city. It's fairly nice, but seems to be somewhat expensive... The public transportation is fairly convenient, the streets are nice, wide and open, and the buildings look nice.

The Danish Krone is really strong right now, about 5.8 Kroner to the US Dollar, and 7.5 or so Kroner to the Euro. For reference, the Swedish Krona and Norwegian Krone are about 10 Kr to the Euro and 7.5 to the dollar. Luckily for us, there's the Øresundsbron, which takes you from Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden in about 30 minutes. After wandering about in Copenhagen for a bit, we headed over to Sweden for swing dancing, and we used up the last of our Swedish Krona.

The swing dancing was pretty good; we were treated with a live band, and free admittance, since we promised to tell all of our friends to go dancing with them if they're ever in Malmö or Copenhagen. There were a few familiar faces that we had seen in Stockholm at the Snowball, which was fun. The live band was pretty fun, too, and quite a pleasant surprise. It's sort of amusing to think that two nights ago, we were dancing in Oslo, tonight we were dancing in Sweden, and now we're in Denmark. It sounds a lot less impressive if you look at a map, and realize that it takes 45 - 60 minutes to get to Copenhagen from Oslo by plane.

I'm uploading my pictures to my picasa account, which you can view here. Eventually, I'll sort through them and put the good pictures up here.

Anyway, it's late. Time for sleep!
