Copenhagen with the girls (or, "Köpenhamn med flickorna")

Several weeks ago, three friends and I took a day trip to Copenhagen. As I have said in a previous post, Copenhagen is a quick 20 minute train ride away.  So don't be surprised if you see even more posts about Copenhagen in the future.

The subjects of these pictures are unlikely to be in any of Rick Steves books, but they are still worth sharing. 

"Doctor Fish"
Hmmm...what can I say?   I understand that the idea behind this foot care is that clients immerse their feet in what is essentially a fish tank, and the fish eat away the dead skin on the clients feet, while leaving the healthy skin. 



With the current exchange rate of 1 Danish Kroner equalling 18 cents, 15 minutes of having the fish nibbling your toes will cost $17.73.

A Danish company


Yet another cool nook. 


One of the woman I went with spent a year in Denmark while a teen.  Thus, she was aware of "breakfast chocolate".  This wafer thin chocolate, that we saw in both dark and milk flavors, is a Danish thing.  I have not seen it in Sweden.  Apparently one puts this very thin wafer on ones toast, and because it is so thin, it melts.  Its dimension might be the only thing about it that is "thin".
