…Or impressions from Copenhagen

Today the ladies in the world celebrate their day or something equivalent. I read in an article that Russian ladies would like to get a car from their boyfriends on this particular day. In my perspective, it would be 10 fold cooler to buy your own car, say on this day, but nevertheless, in the end, the outcome is the same. You have a car . But since we are at this point of the conversation, this day was marked as “celebrated” by going with the Dragon to Copenhagen. Some things, just like good old wines, get better and better with time and our small trip is a root of this function. To some extent, going there was like traveling in the future as it managed to put things in perspective a bit. Soon we will wake up with a bachelor degree in our hands and we won’t know where to head from that point, what to do, what to expect. It doesn’t look like a choice, does it? Having this at the back of my mind, I evaluated my staying there from a more pragmatic point of view. Would it be a good choice to come back for an extended period of time to pursue graduate studies? How will this fit with different other plans?

These were all topics of conversation over a pint of dark beer, waiting for our dinner in a myriad of enchanting places in the still very cold Danish capital. If you go to Copenhagen, I’d terribly recommend Rosie McGee’s restaurant. Located in the city center, the atmosphere there on a Thursday night was magical. Our chocolate brown wooden table was surrounded by shelves of old books and somewhere in a corner, a guitarist was playing “Shine on you, crazy diamond”, among others. The next afternoon was spent walking around the center, looking at architecture, at people, trying to figure how I would fit with this environment. A bit maybe too liberal even for my taste inasmuch as people are concerned, the classic style of the city restores equilibrium. The ladies are quite elegant, the pedestrian zones have a scent of harmony and at times it reminded me of Amsterdam, but maybe slightly more dynamic than the Dutch correspondent.

We had breakfast at Tiffany’s, marked HardRock Cafe as visited in our graph, looped around the mermaid node for a while, drove over an 18km, above the water edge with a cost of 220 DKK and hours later we reached the starting point, a covered in snow Bremen, completing one of the coolest paths followed so far.
