CPH Living

Thanks to Chris & Christina for being such great hosts for this little
trip, and to Martin for his entertaining moustache and other virtues.

There used to be a stylish magazine called CPH Living, short for Copenhagen Living. I
didn't find it this time, but it was out last time I visited about six years
ago. The magazine was full of beautifully photographed beautiful people doing,
well, beautiful things, like hanging around by crystal blue lakes, or engaging
in amazing conversation in stylish bars. Of course every city has a magazines
like this – inspirational guff in many ways, but it's just in Copenhagen the
scenes painted are probably a little closer to the truth than most
places.

On the tourist front, this time around I got to see the The Little
Mermaid. An hugely underwhelming sight, made only slightly more joyous by
watching people trying to find a way to photograph said sea creature with out a
dozen people in shot. No, I didn't manage it either. I also got to travel on an
8 seated bicycle, much more enjoyable believe me.

Food was an important
part of the trip, and accompanied as I was by two gourmets to ensure everything
I ate was at firstly delicious
and secondly always roundly applauded. A Cobb
portable “barbeque in a bag” is now firmly on my list of low-tech gadgets to
own.

Night-wise we were treated to the delights
of Jolene, a large bar situated in the
meat-packing districting of the city, and sporting some lovely neon and blasting
interesting electonica. Only the early outside seating curfew disappointed. More
intimate was a bar called Din Nye Ven (literally “My New Friend”), this had a cost atmopshere, a decent DJ and plenty of games.. we were called to play Jenga with some friendly Danes. Even if you hate Jenga, and I think I do – it's a great bar, in a great city.

Anyway, here are my photos from my short trip to Copenhagen
