I decided to explore the city of Copenhagen and Denmark for two days. I walked around in Vesterbro area and found Carlberg Group brewery with its enormous and elegant entrance. By tracking down to its visitor center, I took the self-guided tour. This tour assists me to realize the prosperous history in Denmark and the rest of the world. In the end of the tour, I got two glasses of beer for testing. They were good, though I need some rest after all of these goodies. On the way back to the hostel, I bought a piece of pita kabob for 20 kroners. The afternoon storm came when I was about walking out of the shop. I had to have the pita in the store because of the rain outside. Fortunately, the storm shower stopped as I finished the pita. Everything seems perfectly organized.

I went to Design Zoo on Vesterbro Road on the way back to the hostel. There are a lot of great stuff in the shop. However, it’s not easy to purchase stuffs like pottery and glasses which Design Zoo carries while you are travelling in difference locations. I could only save those inspirations in my mind and, practically, saved money from my longings for materialization.

I went out to walk again after couple hours rest and ran into Joe on the street. Joe is a roommate at the hostel who is a great talker in this group. The night in Copenhagen is windy and chilly. I stayed at the front square at City Hall on Anderson Blvd., took several pictures, and walked back. While staying at the lobby in the hostel, Joe came next to me and we chatted a little bit more while she was trying to get access the public computer for organizing her travel to Oslo.
