It's currently day 4 out here in Copenhagen, and I still feel like everything is so surreal. Like I'm walking through a foreign film or something. Everything is so beautiful here in Kobenhavn (when it's not raining), even the people! I have seen at least two to three Ryan Gosling look-a-likes everyday.
And everyone is so happy and peaceful. It's unbelievable, and in some sense, I feel somewhat fidgety that there are no conflicts or bad things about the Danes or Denmark.

As for the people here in Denmark, not only are the ridiculously good-looking, they're also outrageously fashionable, preposterously sustainable, tremendously resourceful, frighteningly intellectual, devastatingly creative, and genuinely caring. And most importantly they enjoy sarcasm, irony, and dry-humor.
They are the apex of human-kind.
Actually, the only complaint I would have is how expensive everything is. Everything is marked up in comparison to the US by 30%, especially restaurants and clothing. But I still can't complain about that because groceries are dirt cheap. And organic. $3 for a large container of strawberries! So I will be taking advantage of this and cooking lots of fantastic meals and documenting it. Solid.
Right now I am currently staying with three very sweet Danish girls who Min introduced me to. This connection and opportunity has been such a blessing, when would I get such a great chance to see Denmark in an authentic sense. They actually laughed at most of the Lonely Planet references I made.

(Min headed out to Africa last night/this morning(?). He's doing some sweet engie stuff out in Africa: http://minstigator.blogspot.com/?view=classic )
On the flight to Cophenhagen, I sat next to a very nice lady names Louise. We shared a lot of stories along with a lot of the free wine they give on British Airway flights. Long story short, I ended up making a friend that would give me connections to people living in London and France. Looks like I'll be doing lots of travelling :o)
Sadly, when I got off in London Heathrow Airport and had to transfer over to the next flight, I got TSA'd. A sassy pleasantly plump British lady pulled me aside briskly saying, "Now then, 'ands dohwn". Being ticklish, I giggled a bit and she laughed and said "Dats roight, all yoh lit'el asians ahlways giggling lihke "ooehehehheee". Whell, off yoh go."
And I was like:

The rest of these photos are scenes from today's gorgeous weather. They're completely real. I'm living in a fairytale:

| Not to mention they are super politically active about human rights. Amazing. |
Until next time, Hej Hej!
