DKDS

The Danish Design School in Copenhagen did not disappoint. One especially pleasant surprise was how good the fashion work is. Shown here is a design by Anne-Sofie Madsen (I think).

After the drinking this was the building I used to find my way back to the hotel. As long as I kept it on my right and headed toward the water I kept from getting lost. As you can tell from the sky, it was always about to rain.

inside Cafe Monten

I am not sure how these people are able to drink so much without eating more. The only food they had was hard boiled eggs with oregano and salt on them. Not the greatest smell for a small basement bar but very friendly people.

Cafe Monten

Not far from the hotel I stayed at is a small basement level bar called cafe Monten. A guy was in there singing super loudly but another was quick to buy me a shot which made the singing more charming. A fun group of welcoming locals who were all singing and carrying on and did not seem very open to new people until the fourth or fifth drink when we all left and went to the next place.

inside Bo-bi

It is tough to pull off green carpet and red velvet wallpaper but it works in here. the beer (no. 17) seems to me to go very poorly with Akvavit but worth a try.

Bo-bi bar

Pronounce Bo-bee this is said to be the oldest pub in the city. It is tiny and has great character but since they did not serve food I was limited in how much drinking I could do there. Very comfortable place to meet and talk and sketch and no one thinks anything of having six beers before noon.

Copenhagen

Back in the office today. Saw lots of inspired design in Copenhagen, went to great antique shops, a wonderful gallery and met some really nice people. This highly photographed strip is super touristy but still fun and full of characters from all over.
