JoetheRam Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hadn't heard of it til I went Copenhagen last year late November/December time. Seemed to basically involve getting on the lager at 4pm, eating beef and having a good time.Great city, that loves a party. Never seen the amount of people still on a night out at 7AM that I did there, anywhere else.Really quiet traffic and pollution wise, clean, a touch expensive, great restaurants, chilled out vibe, loads of leggy birds on bicycles... Freetown Christiania has to be seen as well, surreal place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
