Denmark

My stay in Denmark was absolutely amazing. I can only thank the Reindel family for their spare apartment and Maria and Micheal for their hospitality. Copenhagen was too easy to get my needed interviews which left me with plenty of time to enjoy being with my two coworkers from last year in the Galapagos. The International Center of Prosthetics is in Copenhagen and I was able to get all of my interviews for the city in one place! This means that I didn't spend half of my weekend rumbling around the city in a fumbled search for location after location. The bike service also meant that I didn't half to master the bus routes prior to each days search. On Thursday we went to Tvoli gardens which has a number of theme park rides that resembled riding around in a washing machine hundreds of feet in the air. There was a very cool airplane ride that was a WWII fighter and reached speeds of 75 kph. Very cool. Ive been experiencing a sore neck ever since, but it all seems well worth it. Its been a pretty action packed couple days because I didn't have a whole lot of work to accomplish and the two Danes got good discounts on all the cities activities for me to enjoy. On Friday Micheal and I went to a music festival for the later part of the day. The bands were all very good. There was a "give your opinion for a free beer" section of the bar to follow with the general election atmosphere that Copenhagen was going through. I gave my two sense. Danes are extremely liberal. They also seem to take a lot more pride in their democracy than we do in America. Everybody was in a fuss about voting and it seemed like the largest issue was whether or not a first born daughter of the royal family could inherit the kingdom over the firstborn son. Anyways, the festival was very cool. If you want to hear what a traditional electronic Nordic band sounds like follow this link...

Ill write more about the festival later on because it really was cool and spotlighted a ton of different genres. Yesterday I toured the Carlsberg brewery. The workers were allotted 4 litters of beer for lunch everyday. They have glassy eyes in all of the pictures.

Right now I just arrived in Berlin, and I am going to go out and see the city before everything closes down. Tschuss
