Inside the Black Diamond

while still outside.

Man Made

I will investigate this building

and learn its ways.

As I walk out of the apartment

I look for the yellow chair every time.

For the first time in my life

I ate a fish dinner.

As I eat famous pancakes

inside Copenhagen City Hall.  What a wonderful welcome

Encounters

I was standing at the Kobenhavn H train station trying to buy a ticket from a touch-screen kiosk for a trip to the airport.  I kept mashing the buttons on the screen, but no matter my force, the buttons would not respond.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong.  As I peered at nearby kiosks, other passengers seemed to have no problem with the screen. Luckily for me, a Dane saw my frustration and offered to help.  He told me that the screen gets worn, and to hit a button, I have to press the area of screen directly below the actual picture.  It worked perfectly.  I thanked him for his help.  Danish hospitality, check.  Later on my return trip from the airport, I had to buy a ticket at a kiosk again.  This time, I was approached for help.  Two ladies in front of me on line asked me (in thick German accents) to select their tickets for them.  I was happy to help.   A 2 hour microcosm.

Kobenhavn

I arrived safely and punctually.  First impressions of the city before I take care of this jet lag: accessible, bicycles, friendly, trendy, niche.

I am off

to Copenhagen.  Over the next few months, I plan to post pictures, videos, projects, thoughts, and non-thoughts. As always, comments are appreciated.

Let's see what happens.

I highly encourage full screen.
