brilliant scenery and beer

they go well together right? haha

anyways, i'm going to make this quick since i have to sleep...maybe this will just be a brief overview of my day

went to class, ate lunch, met up with Dora and Mario, went to H&M at Frederiksberg Centret

where i bought this skirt for 50 kr (by now you should know how much usd that is)

after that, went to Vor Frelsers Kirke aka Church of Our Saviour (near Christianshavn metro stop) and went up the spiral tower to see the wonderful views of Copenhagen =)

the wonderful thing about Copenhagen is how colorful the buildings are so it's always so pretty!

just one of the awesome views of Copenhagen

then we rode the S-tog to Enghave - we saw a building with Carlsberg on it...but it wasn't the museum lol
so we end up walking into that area around the building and then saw signs stating "visit Carlsberg" so we followed that and kept walking and walking and walking until FINALLY we reach the museum

nothing much to see at the museum - it was the room of many beer bottles from all over the world first, then various exhibits on the history of Carlsberg, how they make beer (which wasn't that interesting since it was just a video), barrel making, and other such stuff

oh yea but one interesting thing is that the big barrels they use(d?) needed to be maintained, so men used to climb in to clean them o_o

then after walking through the museum we got our complimentary beers - i drank mine with an empty stomach...which was not smart lol i got kinda dizzy and then turned red later =|

so instead of getting one of those flavored beers i got a sprite =( i wanted to try some but oh well

we walked to Valby since it was really close (around 15-20 min away?) and Mario cooked fried rice for us for dinner haha it was pretty good except he put the wrong kind of meet or too much pepper in it cause it was really spicy - but i've never tasted spicy fried rice before, so it was interesting lol

then hung around there for a while and went home to prepare my lunch for tomorrow (chicken sandwich w/tomatoes and lettuce and pesto) and pack and upload photos and stuff

so now, i must sleep....i only have 3 hours! ahhh leaving for my weekend trip to Bornholm at 6 am o_o

see ya sunday! cheers!

random note: Mario said that the origin of knocking glasses and saying "cheers" was to prevent poisoning, since when you knock glasses/mugs together, some of your beer sloshes into others, so you can't poison someone's beer cause you'll poison other people or yourself as well - very interesting, i didn't know that
