A few weeks ago we biked south east to Amager Strand to check out some more swimming options. It's a bit depressing going over these photos, because it hasn't exactly been swimming weather in the last few weeks, but who knows - maybe this post will shame the Danish summer into making another half-hearted appearance. Amager is a reasonably … Continue reading Kastrup Søbad

Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
The last few weeks have brought with them a few interesting seasonal events. June 23, the night before midsummer, is celebrated here as Sankt Hans Aften (St John's Eve). It falls around the solstice, so it's a good excuse to be out celebrating while the days are longest, ahead of the slow descent back into winter darkness. Usually … Continue reading Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
Lort!
Denmark's casual attitude to the public use of English curse words makes me so fucking happy.
Tage toget til Louisiana
This weekend we have been enjoying our last few quiet, domestic days in Denmark before heading back to Aus for a few weeks. We did our first ever Parkrun, followed by some more pier swimming. Post-swim we unintentionally ordered an ice cream at Lydolphs Isbar that was so 'generous' that even sharing it was an ordeal. A highlight was overhearing a woman who made a … Continue reading Tage toget til Louisiana
Næsten som om sommeren…
I've still got some photos from the last few weeks piled up, but to hell with chronology - I'm going to skip straight to some pics from the last few days that have given me reason to be optimistic about summer in Denmark. Let's see whether posting about glorious mid-20 degree days will ease or exacerbate the dismay I'm feeling now … Continue reading Næsten som om sommeren…
Nordisk mad
Apologies for the radio silence, we've been indulging in a heady mix of public holiday travel, new Nordic cuisine and intense Danish study. First up - all the rumours are true: Danish is an extremely difficult language. If glottal stops, soft-Ds, genders and inversions don't break your spirit, then the simple fact that Danish people only … Continue reading Nordisk mad
Foråret er her, og det er smukt
I don't have anything particularly insightful or interesting to write about today, but I do have a lot of photos of København looking ridiculously lovely on a perfect spring day. It's been pretty grey and rainy and - worst of all - windy the last few days, so today was a nice surprise. I just hope we haven't used up … Continue reading Foråret er her, og det er smukt
Super Superkilen
After a few trips away we finally got a chance to play tourist in our own city again last weekend. Ant needed a haircut, which means heading north-west to Nørrebro. This area is known as 'one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods in Denmark', although coming from Sydney it's more tempting to just call … Continue reading Super Superkilen
