Our attempts at visiting a beach with a jumping platform today were made in vain, as the water temperature was too cold and they weren't letting people swim. Boo. Oh well, more laying around in the grass and enjoying being alive. We also had entertainment--a creepy guy trying to strike up conversation with two young girls. Later on, we met up with Anders and his brother (Peter), as well as another Fulbrighter (Adam). And then the "icing" began... AJ iced Anders upon our arrival to the apartment. It was pretty hilarious, and I got a good pic of Anders taking a knee to chug that Ice. After a while, Anders innocently left to go to the bathroom, but magically returned with an Ice for AJ! Good work, Anders. Oh but wait, as soon as AJ stood up, tears in his eyes from chugging his Ice, Anders presented him with ANOTHER ONE. Priceless. That's rough. After some dinner at an excellent Indian restaurant, we decided to start the night at Mikkeller (said like mick-uh-luh). This place might be the best thing about Copenhagen, and it is AJ and Ander's favorite bar. Rightfully so, as I quickly learned. I don't know what they put in their beer, but "Mikkeller drunk" is an entirely different kind of experience from any other type of drunk you can imagine. In a good way. Since AJ's time in Copenhagen was coming to a close, the boys wanted to take him to get a Dirty Draught. Once they convinced me to approve of this plan (like I said... Mikkeller drunk!), off we went to the sketchiest bar I will likely ever visit. I am not going to explain what the Dirty Draught is here, but you can either use your imagination or ask me sometime if you are really dying to know. All I know is that I never want to experience this again. We hit a few more bars over the course of the evening, and I discovered the game Meier (said like Maya) Meier--good times, and I learned that I am pretty good at bluffing! :) Playing this game and having more beer is what we did into the wee hours of the morning. We didn't leave until 6:30am. Talk about a great night!!
Saturday required that I sleep in, so I did. Then we went to the Carlsberg Brewery for a tour. Yes, I went on a brewery tour and got 2 free beers... me, AJ, and my MASSIVE hangover. I wasn't joking about the beer intake. Anyway, it was a self-guided tour, and I really liked it. Learned some interesting little beer tidbits and got to see their beer collection (largest in the world, amounting to over 19,000 unopened bottles of beer!) We were so tired and hungover, we didn't do much else that day. But we DID get iced vanilla coffees... my life has been forever changed, and iced coffee will never be as good once I am home. They make this stuff fresh. I'm talking freshly ground coffee beans and using actual vanilla ice cream. When I go back, I will likely go to that cafe every single day just to get an iced coffee. Mmm, just talking about it makes me want to go get one now!
That night, I watched The Green Butchers. Highly entertaining. And highly Danish. :) Great film.
