So my flight was moved back a day due to “technical difficulties” so I had basically two days in New York.  Since I didn’t have a whole lot else to do, I decided to ride around on the subway for most of the day, while doing some work.

The flight was a bit more “budget” than the one I took to London.  It didn’t come with a blanket and pillow.  Very disappointing.  I was sitting next to a cute girl, but there was an open row where I could lay down and sleep, so I snagged that right at the beginning of the flight.  Priorities, ya know?

The Copenhagen train system is very easy, and I found my hostel without an issue (arrived around 1pm).  It was a small place, but pleasant, and in one of those artsy neighborhoods where if you stood still long enough in a clean shirt you’d probably get graffitied.

I worked for a couple hours, then realized I was low on battery.  Most of my day was spent trying to get a US to European outlet adapter.  I did not get one.  But I did walk through the main drag of Copenhagen with all their shops and whatnot and saw a lot of those things that people like to see.  Then I went to bed early, because sleeping on the plane was not super effective.

I ventured out once again the next morning to find my charger.  But nothing opens until 9:30 or 10 in Denmark, so I wandered around for a while first.  I met a duck in a park that did not seem to believe me when I said I did not have any bread.

I also went to the The National Gallery of Denmark, Rosenburg Castle, and the Botanical Gardens that morning.

Anyways, I found a charger.  Yay! But people kept talking to me like I understood Dutch.  I either need to learn Dutch or buy a USA sweatshirt.  But I can’t find any here.  They all say “Denmark” or “Copenhagen.”

I took the scenic route back and went by a tower with an art exhibit in it.  I didn’t really know what it was, so this is the thing I took a picture of.  It was weird blocks.  The other exhibit was from the secret Stasi facilities during the cold war.  Not as interesting as the blocks and weird sheep.

I walked by Christiansborg Palace and some other famous stuff I should have taken pictures of instead of those blocks.  Then I walked down Nyhavn since it has been my wallpaper for the past month.  It looks like the wallpaper.  You can buy a beer and walk down the docks, but I didn’t do that because I’m not a sucker.

I didn’t really buy anything, including food, because 1) Copenhagen is expensive and 2) Krones are like 6:1 to dollars, which makes things seem expensive.  I don’t like paying 50 of something for anything, especially lunch (even though it’s less than $10).

Also, everyone in Copenhagen bikes everywhere.

I went back to the hostel and got a bunch of work done.  They have a 2 for 1 happy hour to encourage social interaction, so I just orderd 2 beers and double-fisted while I worked for an hour.  There were a bunch of people in there doing some kind of photoshoot that was supposed to be artsy but I’m sure was actually just garbage.

At around 11pm I decided I didn’t want to try to take an 8-10 hour train+ferry ride to Berlin, so I booked tickets on a 7am flight to Berlin and went to bed.
