Check out me photos and videos :)

Was a weekend trip (with Friday off) just to support my friends playing badminton at the World Outgames 09. The medals are really cool.


It was an interesting experience, being exposed to a different culture all at once. As well it did feel kinda awkward and uncomfortable at the same time. Copenhagen city is quite small, but very spacious. T'was my first Scandinavian country and the city reminded me of Amsterdam but more prestigious and cleaner too.

Friday started off early in the morning to catch the 8am flight. And we headed straight to grab the train to the city centre and to our accomodation, that was by the river (amazing view). We headed out for lunch near a church in which I tried the Herring dish for the first time. It was rather sour, and I think I should have gone for the cooked meat instead. We then head to the hall to check our friends playing. They were in the finals. They all won silver, and so we head back and out for dinner. We had vietnamese since it was cheap and the lady gave us watermelon after that was on the house! Too lazy to load photos here so check the album.

Next morning I headed out to the famous bakery on my own to try the yummy pastries, hehe. And then met up with friends who woke up later. Me and Joyce then headed to take the boat cruise before having lunch at Nyhavn. Weather was nice and warm, so I had a lovely tan from that day :). We then explored more around the city before heading back to get changed for the after party. Had yummy roast duck for dinner (the copenhagen way). I wasn't really up for the night since I traveled so much during the day but it was rather interesting. We actually took a boat to the venue. It was very nice, with a chill out area, house and pop music indoors. I was only there for a couple of hours before heading back. It was interesting observation though since it was a 'mix' party so yeah, kinda learning how the 'grey' people hang out and socialise :)

Last day was more of exploring the city again, with cheap lunch and yummy double scoop home made ice cream. There were alot of hot dog stands in which I wanted to try, but wasn't worth the money. And I was on a budget too, quite proud that I didn't use any of my British pounds but use up my foreign money instead. Checked out some museums, and took photos before heading to the airport. Came home to London about dinner time (in which I heard it rained).

Short and sweet weekend away :)
