What I Love about CPH: Part II

1. Really unique fashion. I expected the Danes to be fashionable (we are in Europe after all), but Copenhagen seems to be the most fashionable city I have been to yet. Everyone looks chic and cool . Not an exaggeration. Two key elements: boots & scarves. 


2. The fruit man. Mango (pronounced like a Rastafarian saying "man") and papaya all the way.

3. These people.

4. Football. When you think of good football, you might not immediately think of F.C. Copenhagen or Denmark, but I can assure you they are awesome. Especially the fans. I love living around the corner from the stadium.

5. Flower shops are everywhere. Even in the dead of winter, the flowers somehow thrive.


6. The taxi's are all Mercedes. Back in the day when we couldn't understand how to use the night buses (hello 83N & 85N), we enjoyed the sweet ride. 


7. Nutella. I don't think this needs and explanation. 
Evidence Louisa & I have an obsession with Nutella
8. Walking down Strøget, or sitting in a cafe, and listening to people speak Danish. Its nice background noise, and really peaceful.


9. Haribo gummies. Not only are there just the regular ole bears (although those are my favorite), but so, so many others. I'm pretty sure I went through a pack every two days when I first got here. 


10. Visitors. I love having people visit. Lana was the first, and then my mom. It was so fun having a little bit of home here, and showing them around.
Lana says skål!
