Stop by if you can, the charity organizations and churches who support the homeless and those in need are putting on a concert in the top of the Metro Station. They also have free soup, free pancakes and hot beverages too! The soup is great.
They have a can for donations but it not necessary but certainly appreciated.

Running Sushi for families with that ONE picky eater
Okay I told you about the Running Sushi is Hellerup last year for my older son's birthday, how it had drummies, fruit, and fries - well, we found one that is even better!
So it is once again my older son's birthday and he wants sushi but the younger one eats NOTHING so what to do? We didn't feel like going up to Hellerup so we went the other way to Amager. They apparently have several running sushi bars (awesome conveyor belt move the sushi around the restaurant and you pick what you want) but we picked the easiest one to get to on public transport - King Ya Running Sushi and Wok, Amagerbrogade 93, 2300 København - 32 55 38 68. I would call for reservations. It is two blocks up from Amager Centre (Amagerbro Metro stop) or at Oresundvej or Tingevej bus stop (Bus 360S or 4A). It is directly in between McDonalds and the Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Awesome! The sushi was fresh and good and they kept a large variety coming by. You could even make requests at the sushi bar. The offerings included chinese dishes too like a fantastic BBQd sparerib, Hot and Sour soup, and steamed pork dumplings, yum. They also had a fabulous flan and a strawberry cake for dessert. Now for the picky eater, not only drummies, a huge variety of fruit including grapes, orange smiles, pineapple and pink grapefruit but they had chicken nuggets and fries that tasted exactly like McDonalds. Doesn't sound like something to brag about but it was. A wonderful family dinner followed by a really cool little birthday present (and lollipops) for my 12 year old son from the pretty girl at the restaurant. Couldn't beat it at a little over 600 DKK for all four of us and the little one actually ate more then his money's worth.

Grey Goose Vodka - I found it
Well my husband likes vodka martinis, not a very Danish thing but there it is :) So every kiosk and super market has vodka but it is not top shelf so I went on a hunt for Grey Goose. For those of you looking for it - SuperBest has it for appr. 365 DKK or there is as corner store in Christianshavn that stocks it too for 305 DKK. Kiosk Insan Bhuyan, Prinsessegade 29, 1422 Kobenhavn K.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite stores - my kids and I go there for "Soda Friday". The closest Coke to American is the one in the glass bottles but it is 24DKK a bottle at the coffee shops, yuck that is an almost $5 little teeny bottle of soda. Well this corner store has it for 3 bottles for 20 DKK. This store is also right across the street from the Church of Our Saviors, the one with the cool 400 step spire and a block from Christiana. So get you soda and get your Vodka and tell them I sent you!

VIP Visit Specialists - My new Business to help visitors in Denmark vipvisits.dk
Well I have been away from this blog for a while starting up a business - but I'm back and ready to post. First let me put in a plug for my new endeavor. It is a PreLocation Company welcoming visitors to Denmark. Yep see how it is almost a Relocation Company but not! :) We are VIP Visit Specialists at VIPvisits.dk or VIPvisitspecialists.com
Primarily focused as a B2B model - we work with companies to help manage their visitor's experiences in Copenhagen. There is some cutting edge industry here and companies, organizations, and embassies are always bringing in potential hires, Board Members, and event personnel to check out the uniqueness that is Denmark. They book a room and pay for the travel but what then? Who has a full time person to make sure that this visit is all that it can be - well, I do! We work with the visitor and the Corporate Visit Sponsor BEFORE the visit to make sure that we capture everyone's expectations, needs and priorities. Are you coming for an interview and do you just have to have particular ethnic ingredients if you decide to relocate here, special pet food, do you need a comprehensive list of International Schools with contact information, directions for restaurants or stores catering to special dietary needs, whatever - we figure it out. We present a suggested visit itinerary with maps, train directions and visit tips, an awesome Welcome Basket, and a personalized, totally customized 3 or 5 hour hosted tour. No worries, no hassles, no extra charges, no tips accepted.

Today Saturday 13th - Loppedmarked very nice handmade earrings great price
Christianshavn Tor - right by Metro - woman has some really gorgeous handmade earring, good prices, I got two pairs for 50 DKK.
Paddle Boating - Who knew?
Cool restaurant with beach lounge and paddle boats. Go to the train station in Nørreport then head towards the canal. I don't know the address or the name, sorry guys, but it is right across the bridge.
They have a dock set up as a floating beach to lounge on while you eat or just go straight to the paddle boats. The price is right 85 DKK for the three person one or a little more for an hour on the big one.
Didn't try the food so if you do please let us know how it is.

Guinness World Record Museum and 4 Pack on Stroget
Yes, it's silly but well worth it! I have been avoiding those goofy museums since we got here but Grandma and Grandpa bought us the multiple attraction pass available at their ticket office(s). "Go Grandma!" This is the pass that lets you in Guiness World Record Museum, Mystic Exploritorium (both by Kongens Nytorv) Ripleys Believe it or Not Museum, and the Hans Christian Anderson Museum (by City Hall/Tivoli). You can visit them the same day or one at a time.
Dreading the shear cheesiness, we started at Guiness - and had a great time! Then we followed this by going right next door and putting our tokens in to enter the Exploritorium (Goofy horror museum), all hands on activities. It took up a couple of hours and the kids had a blast and I liked it too. I liked reading the facts, which are all in English, and they liked the many hands on activities in both attractions.
This week, so about a month later, we went to the other end of the Stroget and did Ripleys and HC Anderson. They are next to each other by KFC in City Hall Square. Not as cool as the first two but still fun and the price to do all 4 instead of just one made it worth it. Even better if Grandma and Grandpa pay! Ripleys had a lot of fun info for adults and older kids but not as much hands on as Guiness and the HC Anderson one was full of facts but also stations with cool diplays where they read the whole story to you in your choice of several languages.
Overall, a fun ticket to keep in your pocket and to visit when you run out of ideas.
