Walking tour
Today I went on a free walking tour of Copenhagen. It was delightfully informative and such a good feeling to know more about this city that I am living in. I have now seen many of the most touristy...

Rain rain
Fall in Calgary makes up the two most beautiful weeks of the year. It is extremely fleeting. The weather is perfect and mild, and the leaves are changing. It is quite simply beautiful. Fall in...

Tivoli Gardens
While on our walking tour we were told that Tivoli Gardens is a must see in Copenhagen, that even the locals go there to hang out and grab a beer or a meal, so when some friends invited me I though...

Culture? shock
Before going on exchange I was warned that there was a chance that I would get culture shock, and find it strange to adjust to fitting into a different culture. This hasn’t entirely been the case....

Construction
There is construction everywhere. Next door they are building an apartment building, the metro and S-tog are being expanded, and a lot of apartments still have the new building smell. Parts of...

I seem to have accidentally purchased a pamplemousse
Buying things in a foreign language can always be fun. This is how I ended up with a duvet cover instead of sheets — although I have found a way to make my duvet cover function as a sheet — and how I...

Everyday is a winding road
So it has been a while since I posted on this blog. Too long probably. Traveling and school got in the way, but that is no excuse. I had an awesome idea for posts a while back and I am going to try and...

One month
I have a little over a month left in Copenhagen, this crazy city that has grown quite dear to me. It sometimes feels like I am running out of time, that there are too many things I want to do still,...

Christmas time in Copenhagen
Everything in Copenhagen seems to have become very Christmassy all of a sudden. One day I was walking down stroget and noticed that there are now Christmas decorations everywhere. They are in coffee...

Tivoli x Christmas
Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to got to Tivoli for Halloween but I have heard it was gorgeous. Thankfully I did get to go for Christmas and was impressed by how full out they go for their...

I do not like rye bread
Rye bread is a big thing here. Everyone tells you you have to eat it, it’s the Danish thing to do. I feel for it. I bought into the trap of trying out Danish cultural things. I have an entire loaf of...

Fjallraven
Good news all, I have finally managed to scan my watercolours and figured out how to edit them so that they don’t look extremely pale — push the contrast in Photoshop. My first one is of a Fjallraven...

Neon signs
I always love riding up HC Andersen Boulevard at night and then coming across the bridge and seeing this set of neon lights perched above the rooftops. The colours were so bright and always made that...

Decorative canals
In Orestad it seemed like there were a lot of canals, and that for the most part many of them seemed to serve no real purpose. I don’t think they were natural bodies of water or really served a water...

Ice ice baby
There is a brand of chocolate milk in Denmark that is called Cocio. It never struck me as being better than any other kind of chocolate milk — to me chocolate milk is chocolate milk — but their lattes...

Bunting
Okay so this one is a less about Copenhagen and more about something that I love in general, in all places, at all times. For those of you that have yet to be converting bunting is triangles (made of...

Tea candles
It seemed that everywhere I went in Copenhagen there were candles on the tables. This wasn’t just at restaurants but at coffee places and at Danish homes. Candles seemed to be everywhere. I reached...

Christmas hearts
Being in Copenhagen during Christmas was a lovely experience. Danes go all out, and one of the upsides of being a Lutheran culture is that they were okay with Christmas. They actually said merry...
