~Denmark~

31st December 2007

Spent the night at Stansted Airport and met Gil,Charlene's friend for the first time.A nice and easy-going person,had fun travelling with her as well.The flight to Denmark took about 2hours.Reaching Denmark,realised that it was damn freaking cold..I then realised the purpose of hand gloves and ear muffs..It was never THAT cold in Japan til I need ear-muffs,but trust me,in Denmark,you can bite of you ear without feeling anything...NUMB..

This is Tivoli.One of the famous amusement parks of Copenhagen.Too bad it was closed 1day before our arrival..After getting our tickets,currency exchange,hotel check-in done,we walked along Stroget,Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street til the famous Little Mermaid Statue.

Along the way,there's street performers..

Street vendors..

Stroget..

Nice place which I forgot its name

Amalienborg Castle...

Yes,it was that much of a journey to get to The Little Mermaid Statue..Almost there...(The sun sets at 3pm)

We finally got there...took pictures..And took another hour plus to get back..^_^""

It was new year's eve but there was no celebration done.People in Denmark all stay indoors-one..But midnight got fireworks lo.That's all..My new year,spent on sleeping due to fatigue=P
