Things to do

Copenhagen seems to always have something fun to do on the weekends. Today we went and listened to Danish Christmas Carols while last week we joined in a Christmas beer tasting party. Corina especially loved the singing; she waved her hands around like the conductor and even did some singing of her own.





Some pictures from the beer tasting... our favorite was called "Frosty".

Ketchup diversity

They have some interesting varieties of ketchup here, things like Mexican Ketchup, Pasta Ketchup, Jalapeño Pepper Ketchup, plus many more. I’m sure somewhere in the U.S. they have these available as well, however I personally haven’t seen them.

Our favorite is the Mexican Ketchup; it has a nice spicy kick to it!

Elephant food

We went to a local mall to watch the movie Borat, while in the food section we saw the “American Restaurant”. We can only conclude the owners are Republicans due to their menu choices.

President Nixon is a “Classic Burger”, while President Carter is a “Chicken Burger”

Danish Gas Chamber

The toilet stalls in Denmark are different than what you find in the U.S., they're more private. You don't have the openings at the bottom or top where you can view your neighbor's shoes and color of pants.



At first I thought, hmm... how nice! Unfortunately I soon discovered the dark side to Danish toilets. Now imagine that BillyBob has just eaten a large greasy deep fat fried meal and it's not being kind to his stomach. In fact BillyBob’s body is urging him to get that fat out of his system before it does some permanent damage to his heart. So he strolls into this private, closed in stall and does his duty.

Now Chad, having drunk too much diet cola decides that he either needs to use the restroom or suffer an exploding bladder. The first stall is occupied and so he has to make a drastic choice:

a) does he pee in public on some bush or wall outside

or

b) hold his breath, it’s a race to finish peeing before he passes out

or

c) breathe normally while peeing and suffer incurable brain damage

or

d) let his bladder rupture causing harm to his internal organs from the shrapnel

As you can see, no matter how you slice it you end up a loser. God bless the USA and their open air stalls.
