Living in Denmark

Denmark public holidays are mostly in the first half of the year. So lucky for us, we get to have lesser work days in the inital adapting stage since there are so many PH.

White Sunday/Monday, is the last PH before Christmas so why not travel out and enjoy since its a short work week! Plus summer is almost here, so the weather is really so good!

Its been so long since I wore sleeveless and also not wear heat tech and that temperatures are above 20 degrees! And so we decided to take a trip North to visit helsingor where the Kronborg castle (A UNESCO Heritage Site) which Shakespeare had written about hamlet.

Surprisingly we had a straight train to helsingor from our place, so off we went in our first DSB train. It was a mere 35 mins train right and oh my gosh, I am so loving the temperature.

Got a shocked when we arrived at helsingor station! Seemed like there is a summer party as we see heap lots of youngsters in bikinis and also topless guys drinking and walking towards the castle. WOW, SUMMER IS REALLY HEREEEE. Found out that there is a beer run on the 1st sunday of June yearly, where people walked from the previous train station to helsingor for 4km and then end at a party at this station.

COOL SIGHTINGS! I mean its not usual to see this in SG. We are not that sunloving as our temperature and humidity keeps us off the streets most of the time 😂

The amount of castles in Denmark and also their history is so rich, that I think the shallow me, got a little listless after a while 😅 But it was a nice change of environment! We dont get to see these in Asian countries! The building, architecture is a huge difference!

We went to see the maritime museum too! Since we had the CPH card, so why not make full use of our privilege! It was really a museum of all the shipping history. From war times, to the ships used to transport the different kinds of things across the world. WOW shipping is HUGE! But mostly driven by consumerism too!

Soon it was dinner time and we went off to the nearby food street for dinner. Husband was a little worried initially due to the crowd and many rowdy behavior since many people were like maybe half drunk from the beer run already. But i decided to go ahead to have a look since there is so much good reviews about the fish and chips place.

Ordered seafood platter and also a chicken yaki soba and found a nice quiet corner where we both had our early dinner.

ZOMGGG! One of the best Japanese food I had since we arrived in Denmark

Happy belly full us continued to walk a little to explore the helsingor neighbourhood before we slowly headed home. Life is good! Summer seemed like a extended day since the sun only sets after 945pm.

Thats all for now! One last attraction tomorrow at the Glyptoteket before our CPH card expires at 130pm! Thats all folks!
