copenhagen

i can't say anything bad about copenhagen since my desk neighbor is danish... i visited a museum where i enjoyed sculpture for the first time. (the burghers made another appearance, too!) and saw this memorable quote about women: "stupid, perhaps, but dazzling and bewitching" (baudelaire). i walked around for six hours on sunday and ate three servings of danish danish. all my guide books said the little mermaid statue was small and disappointing, but she was quite lovely! the hippie town christiania was not my thing (surprise), but the rest of the city was cute. i missed the opening of the christmas market at tivoli by 3 days, oh well. overall the weekend wasn't too taxing. maybe i'm tiring of these solo travels through the capitals of europe, but i don't think i've hit even half the countries yet!
