What Copenhagen really looks like

Wednesday, 13 July 2005

Earlier I described Denmark as "4 million people who look like Sigourney Weaver at her most beautiful, even the men, despite subsisting entirely on a diet of cinnamon rolls and pork."

The only thing I forgot to mention: everyone in Copenhagen also seems to ride bicycles and smoke, even the infants.

By the way, seeing "War Of The Worlds" with Danish subtitles is an efficient way to learn the Danish words for "No!" "God!" and "Run Away!" as in:

NEJ!

GUD!

FLYGTE!

Words to live by, more and more these days.
