Coping in Copenhagen
I just came home from an IMPROMPTU vacation to Copenhagen, Denmark. :) I decided I needed a break on Wednesday and God willing was able to book a flight on Thursday, found a companion on the same day and found housing later that afternoon. Going on unplanned vacations has been very good for my soul so far.
Anywho, Copenhagen was BOO-tiful! Danish people are BOO-tiful! It was so nice to be there -- to chill, enjoy the city, munch on the food, shop and just be able to rest. :) Some of the highlights of the trip include:
Making Andrigo a metrosexual - I went to CPH with a very trusted friend and what he wanted to do was to shop since he lives in a tiny town in Sweden where shops are, erm, limited. Once at the store, I gave him tips and tops on how I think men should dress like. The ending? He bought all kinds of METROSEXUAL clothes. Haha! :) One day, I will make all my friends metro. :)
Rolling my tounge - We went to Ripley´s Believe it or Not museum and I found out that I can roll my tounge and that I am one in a thousand! What a feat! Wonder how it looks on my CV. ;)
Nature-tripping - Walking around CPH makes you realize how gorgeous life and the world can be. Not only was the city really pretty, since it was both modern and traditional, the people were also ALL SO PRETTY. My gosh! I should move there and just watch people move! What is more is that they are also friendly. PERFECT! :)
Rest and Relaxation - I used the chance to meet up with some friends I met in conferences and it was nice to get to know people outside of the usual bustle of conferences. It was nice to be immersed in their normal lives and see how they are as people and not as delegates. :) It was also nice to be able to sleep and just wake up in the morning and say. "Ah life is still worth it."
Anyway, this is just a brief summary of the weekend that was. Copenhagen was good. The weekend was even better. :) Thank God for the resources, the friends and the chance to be there!
