Backlog of photos

So. Four months down. One to go. The days are flying by, and with exams around the corner we'll both be saying goodbye to Copenhagen before we know it. Since I have a paper due next Tuesday and I haven't even started, I thought it must be the right time to procrastinate and publish these photos that have been sitting in the drafts forever. Please don't think that the weather here is nice and sunny right now because some of them were taken all the way back in August!

Tokyo Sound Revolution at Vega Nightclub

Ego-wrappin, an awesome Japanese band that combines elements of cabaret, big band jazz, guitars, electronica, sax and Bjork-esq vocal-work. Very cool.

With our Japanese friends

Spanish boys Manu, Victor and Miguel

There is an Australian restaurant here called "Reef and Beef" that sells dishes called "Tasmanian Devil Wallaby", "Quandong Roo" and "Outback Vegemite Steak". Yeh right, because we sooo eat that kinda things in Australia! They have ads sprawled all over train stations of an Aboriginal man holding a glass of wine. We have spent many hours debating this, but the verdict it still out by us Australians whether this is in bad taste or not. What do you think?

Sure, we complain about the food in Denmark, but one thing the Danes make up for in that department are their superb brunches.

With Jem and Theresa at Park Nightclub afterwards

with Sushila, from California

An authentic Italian dinner at Claudia's professor's place, when both Claudia's boyfriend, Thomas and Daniela's boyfriend, Michael came to visit. The Italians take their cooking seriously and to perfection. Bellisimo!

Theresa and Daniela at Frederiksberg Park, a beautiful place which houses Frederiksberg Castle and also where we we tried to "study" when the weather was a bit warmer.

I can't get over how beautiful the ducks are in Denmark.

For Martina's 21st birthday, we decided to scout out the beaches in Copenhagen and headed to the man-made one in Amager for some sand and sunshine. Unfortunately, all we were greeted with was grey sand, tufts of grass, strong winds and an empty beach!

Our attempt to study for our Danish test at the beach. We probably got in a total of 10 minutes study.

The lucky birthday gal with cakes galore.

Then it was back to our place for a little cookup!

Lovely Ida, a Swedish girl who is now a doctor in Denmark and Theresa

Its party time! Fun times at Rust and the Happy Pig.

My Danish class on the last day at our little "party" with our hippy teacher, Jesper (back, right). We had 14 people in our class, coming from the States, Australia, France, Italy, Finland, Germany and Japan.

Malmo Festival

Malmo is a city in Sweden only 40 minutes away from Copenhagen, which hosts a huge week long festival every year. Music, food, films, dance, rides, stalls and huge crowds to battle are part of the fun-filled day out.

There were several music stages which ranged from rock and grunge, to pop and folk..

and electronic. We managed to catch Hess is More perform who I thought were pretty cool..

..but I found myself more at home at the Hip-hop stage. B-girls from Japan and Eastern Europe battling it out..

Tons and tons of food stalls lining the streets. Emily from Melbourne trying the Belgian waffles.

C'mon guys..smile!

Sorry guys for the lack of interesting comments, but I'm saving my precious brain power and writing inspiration for my 2000 word synopsis on human rights and development..goodness knows how much I need it.

Ciao!
