copenhagen pt2

 On Sunday we decided to take the bikes and visit the shore. The weather didn't disappoint us once again and the views were to die for. I don't have to mention how cool and Danish we felt biking around the neighbourhood wearing all black, right?

The clouds were so picturesque that of course we took haundreds of photos. And look at that clear water! I swear Denmark is the most beautiful country I've ever visited.

 Then we came back home, drank some green tea and then set off for another adventure. We drived all the way to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. And oh my, it was so worth it!

 It was the Yayoi Kusama's exhibition that impressed us the most. When you think about colourful dots you should feel positive vibes, right? Well, it was totally the opposite! It was so strange but the longer we stared at Kusama's work the more stressed we felt.

 On Monday we finally went to KEA as it was the main goal of our trip. We had a tour around the whole building and met the staff. I am so happy that we decided to come all the way to Copenhagen to see it for ourselves. Now I'm actually able to make the decision where to study.

After that we took the bus to the station from where we headed to Malmo. Of course something had to happen and our bus got stopped by the police. Due to the refugees, we had to have our identity checked. And apparently (since a month or so!) you have to have your passport when you travel to Sweden and we only had our IDs so it was pretty stressful but thankfully the policeman let us go as we were heading to the airport. Now I heard that Sweden closed the border with Denmark so it's impossible to get from one country to another. Crazy! I don't think that's the right thing to do but well, let's not discuss that now.

It was a brief but a sweet visit in Copenhagen and I'm looking forward to coming back there soon!

copenhagen pt1

One week ago I went to Copenhagen with a friend of mine. It was great to be able to visit the city during Christmas time as it has a totally different vibe! The weather was surprisingly good, it even hasn't rained at all. On the first evening , after having issues with buying train tickets (damn those ticket machines that take only coins!), we decided to visit Tivoli Gardens. Oh my! It was such a great idea. We have never felt so christmasy in our lives, I think. Sipping on a mulled wine while wandering through those charming gardens was definitely a highlight of the trip. The next morning I met up with Vincent for a brunch and we had a lovely time, talking and eating skyr and other delicious scandinavian foods. After that, I met up with Ola in the city centre, where we went shopping and OF COURSE we went to Groed to have the best porridge in the entire wold. Then we came back and talked till 12am. Great first two days in Denmark, I'd say!

copenhagen diaries: day three

It's 28th of March and it's our last day in Denmark's capital. We wake up feeling kind of sad knowing that in just few hours we'll be on our way back to Poland. Nevertheless, we put that attitude to the side and with tummies full with delicious porridge made by Vincent we get out to say goodbye to Copenhagen.

copenhagen diaries: day two

It's 10:30 on a cloudy Sunday morning and I've been awake for quite some time now. Boys are still asleep and I'm patiently waiting for them to wake up. In the meantime I'm talking with Vincent, making sure that me and Peter actually get to his place without getting lost every five minutes.

It's the next day and we wake up around 8am. It's a bliss to have slept for almost eight hours. A cup of freshly grounded coffee and the idea of having breakfast at Groed's makes me instantly believe that it's going to be a good day. Oh, and hey - the sun is peeking through the dramatic clouds. Could it get any better?

the best porridge place on earth - grød

Before I write all about the precious time I had in Denmark's capital, I decided to share a very special place with you. As you may or may not know, I'm a big porridge person. I mean, is there any better way of starting off your day than with a bowl of warm and delicious porridge? I don't think so.

Before I go somewhere I always do a little research on places worth going to so when I found out that there's a cafe in Copenhagen that specialises in porridges I knew I had to visit it.

a day trip to malmo

If you told me a year ago that I would go to Scandinavia, I would have never believed you. It was my ultimate dream destination and to be honest, I don't even know why. There's just something very different and interesting at the same time to this particular part of Europe: history, culture, languages. (and well, I feel like I need to mention Vikings here as I'm a history geek like that) This trip taught me many things about Denmark, things that actually made me fall for this country. Now I'm 100% sure that it is the perfect place for me to live in the near future. (I'm even willing to pay that horrendous 36% tax)


On 27th (our first full day in Scandinavia) we decided to go to Malmo as it's a stone's throw from Copenhagen. I was really excited as I didn't know what to expect...
