Fun Ain't Cheap

Well, I was warned, and now I know it's true: fun in Copenhagen is not cheap. I went downtown, a.k.a. 'the center' with my Danish "uncle" Henrik and a couple of his friends. It was great to see Nyhavn at night and get a small taste of the nightlife. Pints of ubiquitous Carlsberg were $10 average (a weeknight, remember) and our interesting Danish meal of kartoffel, rødbede, and what I'll call deep fried ultra crispy pork fat sticks was the price of a decent sushi meal. No complaints, of course, because I had a great time, but I think there's a reason Danes are so fond of their kitchens and homemade food.
