copenhagener

what makes a dane a dane?

the blond hair
the bikes
the smorrebrod (pronounced 'smoeurbud')
the super hard to speak language
all of the above...

today i'd just need to dye my hair blond
and i would be on my way

very excited to get a bike today
i was riding circles in our office courtyard
and i felt like a kid again
i'm still quite rusty at it

so today instead of taking 7 min
to walk home from work
it took 3 min to bike home

chinese have their dim sum
danes have their smorrebrod (open sandwich)
i had my frokost (lunch) smorrebrod today
the bread they use here is really interesting
and by interesting i mean
grainy and dense
this is definitely no white bread
it's filled with grains and seeds

they say it makes you full
and you won't go hungry so fast
very true...

one of my dane coworkers
smears pate (liver paste)
onto his bread (the dense kind)
squeezes mayo in a swirl
and cuts with sissors
green onions on top
and eats 4 slices for frokost

chinese have dimsum.
haha...
