Copenhagen Calling


Tuesday 18 August

After a lovely six week stint with Mum and Ken in Singapore, Bali and Melaka, I said goodbye and checked in for a 12 hour flight to Copenhagen, along with Singapore artist Antz, my team-mate Crystella and blogger Kenny Sia. Enjoyed dinner, a glass of wine, Flight of the Conchords and Star Trek before popping a sleeping pill and knocking out for a good six hours.

By 7.30am we were on the tarmac in the fully developed world! Met up with Pat and Thai artist Rom at the baggage reclaim and took a taxi van for the short and smooth trip into downtown Copenhagen and the Scandic Front Hotel.

After dropping our bags, Antz and I went for coffee along the touristy new harbour, beautiful fresh air and bright sun beating down as we got our super-pricey caffeine fix. Took a stroll around the hood before Crystella and Kenny joined us and we walked down the main pedestrian street to lunch at Cafe Europa. Enjoyed spawn of lumpsucker with bread, cheese, and a Tiger - tried not to have a heart attack at the bill, 60 Sing dollars per head for a simple lunch!

Took in the main shopping street and city hall before jumping on a canal cruise, punctuated by the obnoxious antics of white trash scando youth. Met up with Christian, Mikkel and the Theobrands crew to work on some details before a simple dinner and drinks in the hotel to welcome all artists and guests. Finished up with one final beer (the Czech Krosevic) at the new harbour before crashing around 11pm. Respect to the body!!
