King of Denmark
First off, thanks to google/blogger, for translating a bunch of my web pages into Danish for me. It makes it a lot harder to post to my blog when I have to figure out what a "brugernavn" is...
Well, after two weeks of madcap whirlwind sight-seeing, it's been nice to take things a little slower around Denmark. Because of the home exchange I'm doing (we're living in a Danish family's house, while they live in our house in Los Angeles), I get to live in Denmark as more of a local than a tourist.
At the local supermarket, found two comic books - one was a Danish translation of Batman: Year One, the other was a Danish translation of Marvel's Civil War. Haven't watched any cartoons yet here in Denmark, but I watched a few subtitled American/UK sitcoms. Also watched some West Wing - boy, you gotta feel bad for the guy who has to type up the foreign subtitles for an Aaron Sorkin show.
Okay - a few pictures for you. This is me at Kronborg Castle - the castle that Shakespeare used to set Hamlet in.
This was the writing desk of King Christian IV. He had his own "writing closet" where this desk was in. I don't know about you, but I gotta get me one of these golden desks to write on.
This is the coronation crown of King Christian IV. I tried to take it out to get washed, but the guards were all "stop thief" on me.
And I'll leave you with this picture. Just further proof that I'm incredibly juvenile.
Hee hee.

Eugene - Go take the Carlsberg Beer Factory Tour in Copenhagen. The tour used to be free and at the end of the tour they sit you down at a table and bring out beer to 'sample'. This was one of the best deals I found when I was in Copenhagen many years ago. -Jon (from your hockey team).
Thanks, Jon! I'll try to make it to that tour. And I'll go out on a limb and assume you guys have gone 5-0 without me?
