The Taste

Here is some more trip stuff.

We hit up the Danish Design Centre. A rather small musuem with functional art. There was an exhibit about how we are always being bombarded with ads and don't have our own time. It was set up like a grocery store where you could buy bottles of "temporary offliner" or tins of "ad free creme." My photos of that don't do the exhibit justice.


This was by far the neatest exhibit. There was a big sign that said "have a seat" and after wandering the city streets in the cold and rain for 5 hours, that is exactly what we wanted to hear. The man who created this invented the bubble chair. He is a Finnish man, we watched an interview with him where he discusses how he made the bubble/egg chair. There were quite a few interesting looking chairs there. We weren't quite sure how to sit on any of them.


The big comfy couch. The couch was made entirely out of cardboard. The artist is an African man. His entire collection was rather inventive and environmentally friendly. That little white paper says "Do not sit down."


The changing of the guards at Amalienborg, the main castle of the Danish dynasty.
Here is audio treat. Hit link and it will be faster, I think.
The audio track is an explanation of the above, I think. See the thing is about Denmark is that they speak Danish. The thing about Danish is that it sounds something like German, so my native German travel compadre (aka Ina) and I would think we understood what was going on and then bam! It all turned to gibberish. In any case, it was a rather funny language to listen to. Hej! is hello and tuk is thank you.

Just Hamburg left after this, I promise.

"I'm a merman dad, merman!"

Elevator express. Ok I know this is immature, but would you act any different?


So many things like this in Denmark. It was awesome.
