Hotel/hostel in London
I was posting this in a few travel communities and thought that maybe some of you people could have good recommendations too!
--------------------------------
I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of hotels in London and I don't even know where to begin to look for a place to stay for a long weekend. So I was hoping you could recommend a nice hotel or ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye 25 øre
Today is the last day that the smallest Danish coin, 25 øre, can be used in the shops. From tomorrow it will no longer be accepted and our smallest coin will be 50 øre.
They said it is too expensive to make and that it doesn't have any "independent purchasing power" anymore. There are 500 million 25 øre-coins in circulation at the moment. I don't ( Read more... ) -
Dear Russians
Why are so many Russian lj users adding me? *confused* I can't understand their journals and don't really know why I have become so interesting all of a sudden for the Russian audience? -
Bikes and bikers
There was a bicycles special magazine in my newspaper Politiken yesterday and there was an article about a guy who has done a blog site as a tribute to bikes in Copenhagen and especially the people riding them.
I think the page is really cute and sweet and the pictures are great - I love how passionate this guy is about cycling. So check it out: ( Read more... ) -
Lambada!!
During exercise today our teacher played the Lambada song - do you remember it?

Geisha comeback
While looking for stories for features, I stumbled upon this radio feature on The Guardian's website (I didn't know they did sound reportages?!) about the geisha culture living a revival in Japan. Would love to do a story like that, but I guess you need to be there, really. Here is the print article. -
Books 1-6
I thought I should make an update about the book challenge - am not reading as much as I would like to, but still getting some good reads. Actually I have seen more films than read books, but obviously it is also faster! Maybe I should also make a film challenge?

(Untitled)
Am writing from my new home, with my new cat Kika on my lap, purring away. It's quite cosy here, I am starting to really feel at home. Drinking lots of tea in the hope that it will make my voice less hoarse, I sound awful! -
(Untitled)
Argh, it is really annoying, I thought of the perfect Christmas gift for my mum, a double eyeglass case like this one, because she always brings two glasses. But for some stupid reason you can't buy that in Denmark and when I try to buy it online, all the online shops only ship to the US! What's with that???! I thought I had just found one, but ( Read more... )
