Just a little update to make note of a few observations that I have made of Copenhagen...

1. I was looking for somewhere to buy some take-away food. After searching and asking I managed to find a salad shop in a department store in Kongens Nytorv.  As I was waiting for my salad it occurred to me that everyone was so lean. I actually started playing a little game which was 'spot the spare tyre' - I gave up after 15 minutes because it became evident that I was never going to win that game.  Apparently they have a tax on food that is high in sugar or fat content, and as such it is easier to be healthy. In saying that, the food is still really expensive due to a living tax, but this covers their medical etc.  This is the way forward. I love this place.

2. Everyone is so friendly, there have been several occasions when I have asked for directions and I have found that people are so obliging to tell you how to get to where you need to go, I swear one woman almost walked me to my destination she was so determined to help me!

3. Everyone has beautiful eyes.

4. The fashion is well designed and inexpensive. This must makes up for the expensive food I guess.

5. The wine is cheap.  Last night the most expensive bottle of Cab Sav I could find was 37DK which is $6.50 AUD

6. Their Summer is colder than our winter - it is 14 degrees outside.

Anyhow I'm off to do a walking tour of Copenhagen which includes a tour of the canals... I will write more soon.
