Copenhagen: the "Venice of the north" (along with about 12 other cities).
Continuing the adventures of staying with strangers...in Copenhagen my host was Carl, another friend of a friend. Carl is actually a fellow expat from Nova Scotia (wait, do I count as an expat yet?).
He took me to see the view from one of the oldest churches in the city.

Copenhagen was mildly interesting....for one and a half days. (I was there for four.)
Especially after the edginess of Berlin, I couldn’t get into the quiet, the calm, the well-ordered-li-ness of this city. And the true “Danish” pastry, which here they call of course (?)“Vienna-bread", was not that special. Probably a good Toronto bakery could create something of the same quality.

But it would only be fair to try as many Danish bakeries as possible, just to be sure.
Yep, popular guy, this Andersen. You might know that his "Little Mermaid", a bronze version, sits in Copenhagen harbour. Well, she usually does, but right now she's in Shanghai, representing Denmark at the World Expo.
So that the Danes don't miss her too much, a screen has been installed in her place with a 24-hour live video projection of what she's up to in that pavilion in China.
[still not making this up!]
