The Scotland Scene: Copenhagen

Alyssa and I are home in Edinburgh from our week in Copenhagen!

Day 1 (Wednesday): Fantastic Italian dinner @ Ristorante Italiano.
Day 2: Got to meet Yeager's FANTASTIC colleagues from Eitzen Chemical at St. Peters for lunch. Had delicious open face sandwiches with pints of my favorite local brew (Tubourg) and Aquavit. Spent the afternoon touring Carlsberg Brewery, followed by a night out to Wall Street Pub and dancing at Rust.
Day 3: Met up with Dr. Brandauer, my Gettysburg Anatomy Professor, at Panum in Rigshospitalet- the Health Sciences University at Copenhagen- where he is doing a year of research. We had lunch and got a tour of his lab. Picked Alyssa up from the airport and went straight to an FC Copenhagen game (vs AC Horsen). The score was at 1-1 when Claudemir snuck in a game winner at the 90th minute...INSANE! Had phenomenol, unique, expensive cocktails @ Madame Chus!
Day 4: Tourist day! Took the famous red bus tour around the city. Highlights were the Little Mermaid, the parliament building (Christiansborg Palace- the old palace for royal family), Nyhavn with lunch in one of oldest buildings- Nyhavn 17, the Marble Church, and Amalienborg Palace (current residence of royal family).
Day 5: St Patricks Day! 3-legged bar crawl to the 5 Irish pubs in Copenhagen. Lys, Yeager and I were scouting out a partner when one of the coordinators assured us he would find us not 1 but 3 lovely gentleman, and he made good on his promise. I'm proud to say that my partner and I crossed first in just 14 minutes! On the way back, we stopped at Ben and Jerrys to check out the local flavors...I got two new Denmark exclusives: Nordic Water Peace and Fairly Nuts!
Day 6: Went to Freetown Christiania, an autonomous neighbourhood in Christianshavn (borough of Copenhagen). Definitely worth a visit!! Yeager took us for samosas and schwarma for dinner!
Day 7: Spent at Rosenborg Castle, impressive Dutch Renaissance architecture from the early 17th century. A project of Christian IV, king of Denmark (1588-1648), Rosenborg was FULL of INCREDIBLE artwork, furniture, and of course, the crown jewels!
