Some Like it Haute

strogeting.

the last day of intrduction week took us to the steeets of inner copenhagen itself, namely the much- celebrated shopping district stroget.

the day kicked off with a 'treasure hunt' where we visited sites such as the frederiskberg church, round tower and amalienborg palace where the present queen currently resides. ya-dah ya-dah, you can tell the so-called must-visits didn't exactly leave much of an impression but i do think that it would be more pectacular during spring and summer. i even caught the marching of palace guards! no clue marching to where though..

along the way, we had to fill up a simple questionaire and frankly, i have no idea what the ultimate 'treasure' is but lunch was an affair to have and hold.

the exchange crew took us to cafe riz raz for a buffet! apologies but here in copenhagen, any chance to have a complementary hot meal deserves epic mention.

i fulfilled my italian fantasy of lasange and pizza and made space for the yummy potato nuggets.. here's the funny bit- it is supposed to be a vegetarian buffet but by lor-, the food was so incredibly good, it would convince any carnivore to make an exception- just this once.

after the tummy was appeased, the mind needed some simulation and i ventured along europe's largest pedastrian shopping street- stroget for some good loving window shopping. unlike orchard road where we have sky-scrapping malls, the streets here are lined with boutiques and little shops that provide for an extremely quanit shopping experience. here you can find all the brands and what i like is how unpretentious everything is- where esle can you find h&m baby beside chanel?

fashion aside -be good darling~- copenhagen has amazing interior designer stores and i found this amazing treasure trove of all sorts of trinkets that i wanted to covet.

such as these chinky-chong thermoflasks. they sell all sorts of seriously-unnecessary-but-got-to-have items and to add on to its appeal, you suddenly find crates of koka instant noodles.. like NO LINK?! but that's part of the appeal.. i am not really to sure of its exact address.. but believe me, i will be BACK. haha..


as you all know, winter cuts the day short and this is copenhagen at four.. days like these make copenhagen worth hanging on for.

urgh, my throat is killing me.
