den lille havfrue

The Little Mermaid sculpture is one of the most hyped-up tourist attractions in copenhagen for reasons that I don't understand.  It's a nice sculpture based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, but I think that the tourists who go to see it are more interesting.

We went to an awesome Girl Talk concert at Vega on Friday.

I guess this has become instalment number 3 in my (accidental) bike series.  We were biking by the canal in copenhagen when we noticed this barge.  They had dredged up a motley collection of street signs, shopping carts, cafe chair, and bikes, some totally rusty and bent, some in quite good condition.  There was a scuba diver who located the junk in the water, then a team of four men who pulled it up and ran the boat.  I've never seen anything like it!

must love bikes

Of every big city that I've been to so far, Stockholm, Amsterdam and of course Copenhagen, bicycles have been an essential element.  I think that people are happier and healthier because of it, and they just look cool.  These are some of my favorites.

I thought that these guys were awesome. It makes me so happy every time I play this video. Let me know if you know what that bagpipe type instrument is, because I've never seen one like it before and I'm really curious.
