2nd Day of Introduction Week...

After drinking from the 1st night... Slept quite alot of the 2nd night... only woke up at about 9am... and since i'm only meeting my guide and my group at 12.30pm for the trip to Copenhagen... i decided to make a trip to the supermarket... cheap one of course... it's called fakta..(sounds like fak-up) lol... as my friend say.. the store is pretty much f*** up... probably because due to the limited selection of groceries.. but oh well... it's cheap!!! how to complain?? haha

So we actually walked to the town center... near the Lyngby Station... about 20 mins walk... but since it's our 1st time walking.. we took 30 mins... due to some stops along the way to take some photograph and also some hollan-ing on the way.. hehe... here's the pics i took along the way to Lyngby Station..



One thing i realise about Lyngby... probably because it's a small town... there's not much high buildings... in fact.. all are just small buildings and they look so cute! haha... things are pretty much integrated... (u see trains, buses, people, bicycle..) and people cycle alot!! probably because the highest point in Denmark is lower than Bt timah hill... yes u never see wrongly... BT TIMAH HILL!!! haha...

Well, was looking for the shops... and when we get there.. started shopping a bit.. and it's really damn hard to shop in foreign land... i dun even know what's ham and what's not!!! everything is like so alien to me... haha... was trying to decipher what they are the signs saying... LOL... but well, bought some stuffs... probably will start cooking soon.. =X

anyway... after we finish shopping, we realised that we are kinda short of time... so we brisk walked back... legs were tired.. but we hardly sweat... it's so hard to sweat here... haha... good thing or bad thing?? i dunno.. =X

when we reach back at our container... we put down the groceries into the fridge and off we rush to meet the other guys for the Copenhagen trip.. haha...

One thing i realised after i'm at Copenhagen... it's a very very 'low-rise' capital... haha... all the buildings are short... those towering building u can see are either churches or castle... haha.. quite nice.. esp they have quite a few big squares where there's a few small cafes and u can just sit and chat and 'la kopi'(drink coffee)... quite like the feeling of it... lol :)

When we reach Copenhagen.. 1st thing we did... Canal Tour!!! :)



Too much info when the guide was saying so much about the buildings around and i was busy snapping pictures... can't really catch much.. but have some info and written it in the caption in the pictures... Didn't get to see the little Mermaid face on... the river cruise only went behind it... was snapping pic from the back when i hear a comment from a guy saying that it's stupid to see the back of Little Mermaid... which i tot it's pretty true and then i stop snapping.. =X



After tour at Copenhagen... we had dinner (buffet at this restaurant..) in Copenhagen... the meal was not bad.. at least so far the best i had... haha! Simple dinner.. chatted a bit..(trying hard to since most of my group mate dun speak english..) Then guess where we went after dinner???


































If u guess Bar/Club... then ur right!!! not too hard eh??? LOL! Didn't drink this time.. some of my group mates went to queue up to buy beer... i went to the 2nd floor with another aussie grp mate to find a place to seat... chatted a while.. while waiting for the others... left the bar at about 10... dun wanna miss the last normal priced bus back... if u take mid night bus in Copenhagen.. it cost 2 times... a normal ride from Copenhagen cos me 25 DKK which is roughly... 7 SGD maybe... so yeah... damn ex!!!! :(

Well another long day.. from walking.. and imagine someone who dun club to go club for 2 conseq days... damn tired lah!!! haha... so.. early nite!! hehe...

In general.. My impression of Denmark is pretty good... nice place... though things a bit ex.. if i'm working here.. i dun really mind seriously.. haha!! but as a student... that'll be hard...

but then again.. people here no need to pay a cent for medical charges... and students here dun have to pay school fees... and in addition.. they get paid 4300DKK per mth to study for Bachelors and Masters!!! omg.. that's like 1.5k SGD!!!

but well... they do pay a damn high tax.. 40% income tax an 25% GST... haha... i guess there's no free lunch... hehe
