Day 3

Unfortunately, there is only wifi in the train, so we couldn't update yesterday. Also, jet lag kicked our asses, so we were asleep during most of the day, but we are safe in Copenhagen. It turned out that Felicia (we don't know how to spell her crazy Danish last name) was on the same flight as us and she filled us in on some fun Danish factoids. Apparently there are three times of Danes: people who love tourists, people who hate tourists, and people who are terrified by tourists. Also, young Danes are almost nocturnal. This likely stems from the fact that it does not get dark here until around ten or eleven at night. It gets light again around four in the morning. Most clubs don't even open until 1:00AM. After you party all nigh you can follow up with more partying at an after-club. These typically are open around 10:30AM. The youth then go sleep on the beach until 9:00PM and then start the whole damn process again.
Upon arrival, Felicia and her boyfriend took us, via the metro, to the bizarre hippie drug-vending commune-esque Christiania. There we enjoyed our first Danish beer. It was a delicious pilsner with a light and distinct taste. It was the local brew made in Christiania by hippies or drug addicts. After a slight detour on our way to our hostel ( the street numbers were in odd groups that were not necessarily in numerical order), we checked in to a small double room with a bunk bed and hopefully no bed bugs. We then proceeded to nap from 1:00PM until 9:00PM. Being jet lagged made it quite easy to adapt to the Danish youth sleeping schedule.
We showered and started the night by navigating to the Latin Quarter where we consumed a scrumptious sandwich from 7/11. But srsly, compared to a Smith's sandwich, it was pretty good. We chased our meal with the cheap beer giant Tu Borg at a quaint little bar. American classic rock played in the background as beer slid down our gullets.
This morning, we slept for another three hours and went out for some sight-seeing. Navigation was even more difficult as there were no street signs and a lot of the city seems to be under construction after the flooding they had a few weeks ago. We saw the historic district and the beautiful parliament buildings. We then climbed something called the spiral tower. At its top we were able to see basically all of Copenhagen. However, it made us both feel a little sick, so we went back to the hostel and ended up sleeping again for about five hours.
We forced ourselves to get up around 7:30 PM and found dinner on a nice street entirely devoted to nice restaurants along one of the canals. The 'reasonably' priced dinner cost over a hundred dollars. I guess we didn't really realize how expensive everything would be. Big Macs are ten dollars here. Coffee is six. They can also charge you a dollar to brush your teeth in a public restroom. Also, there are underwear stands at the train station as you stand in line to pee.
