amazing breakfast of rye bread, comté cheese, butter and an egg. the first time I️ have eaten an egg like this. also a girl I️ met on Thursday worked here by crazy coincidence!

a whole room of chairs! apparently they are the most “human” of objects, so they are a litmus test of who someone is as a designer according to the Danes.

conceptual vanity design

the two big exhibits at the design museum were: 1. How Japanese design has effected Danish design and 2. A retrospective of the designer of Balmain (one of my favorite designers) in the 80’s so both were very much up my alley.

first stop at the Danish Design Museum was lunch- an open faced sandwich with smoked salmon, endive and red onion on rye bread. so good.

no idea what either of these are, but I️ walked past them on my way to a museum and they were very pretty.

“You are now entering he EU” sign as you leave Christiania.

Freetown Christiania, a technically independent, anarchist nation in Copenhagen. in practice, that seems to mean lots of graffiti and stores that sell weed.

I️ kept hearing people talk about a place where there are colorful buildings, and I️ accidentally stumbled upon it today

sunny Copenhagen!

Nicolai’s cousin Sybille invited me to a friend of her’s house for dinner (yummy Thai curry). then we went to an experimental performance art show in a warehouse and a few bars. it was a very fun night, and I️ learned a lot about Danes including that they don’t take pictures of everything like American youths, so this is the only photo I have.

walked around my neighborhood (the White Meatpacking District named for the white buildings) and found a place with great beer, hush puppies, pimento cheese and BBQ sauce.

the sun cams out! it was only for about an hour, but it was glorious

really excellent brunch at a place a friend recommended: corn pancake with guacamole, sour cream with herbs and spice in oil, a poached egg and lox. also there are lit candles on all the tables I️ have seen here, even at breakfast. very cozy.

chilly, Thursday morning walk in the neighborhood, Kødbyen.

my weird, sad dinner in the hostel which had turned into a salsa club somehow while I️ was upstairs. the beer was really amazing though. hope I can find it in LA.
