Copenhagen, Denmark



Our next stop is Copenhagen, Denmark! Luckily, it was not raining like the past couple places, instead it was warm and sunny. The further we go west, the more "European" I feel like the cities become. Copenhagen is modern, lively and not one bathroom in the airport was without a line. Outside the airport, it was also a very happening place, where new beautifully designed buildings, old churches and town halls decorated the metropolitan city. The whole city seemed to be under construction, with the new metro system being designed, a lot of streets are closed off, but not the pedestrian street. ;) The street was filled with almost all of my favorite stores and cute cafes. Though, it was really weird because the stores closed either at 3 or 5 pm and most were closed on Sunday. We also got to visit some really cool modern art museums with pretty unique exhibits like one by Nahn Vo called "We the People". It was a huge pavilion filled with separated parts of the statue of liberty. There was also an exhibit in another museums about the Nordic countries and how they are similar in some ways and unite through design. Since I had visited all of the Nordic Counties on my trip, it was very interesting to compare their cultures and styles. Overall I had a great time in the Nordic countries and am SO looking forward to the last place, Zurich!
