In Copenhagen city center, Kongens Nytorv, an artificial ice-skate ring is created http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongens_Nytorv. One can bring their own skates or rent them to experience some skating fun in city center. I can't skate & don't plan to embarrasse myself, so...hehe
Pic: Kongens Nytorv skating ring Just a few hundred steps away, lies the famous canal & harbour - Nyhavn, which is also 'transformed' into 26 stalls Christmas market. The market was a little dissapointing, relatively small scale & nothing superly excited (I have seen the bigger ones in Berlin), except...I found toilet rolls with Christmas motives printed, keeps me wonder :s
Gløgg is a special Christmas sweet warm wine with fruits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulled_wine. Despite the risk of getting drunk in public (my alcohol tolerance level is nearly zero), I decided this is something that I must try, don't want to wait another year for that so I got one from the Christmas market stall. Basically one can get it anywhere, even the Chinese takeaway shop sells it :s
I didn't like it at first sip but it turns out fine & can really keep me warm at the windy cold harbour. The one I had has raisin & almond in it (typical). I won't mind trying it again given the chance :)
Continue the walk to the main shopping street Strøget and you'll be reminded more of Christmas. Not just because of the street decorations but the increase of shoppers determined to get some gifts will certainly tells you Christmas is just around the corner.
This year, I'll be spending a traditional Danish Christmas evening with my boss & his families. Something absolutely new to me. Presents? Bought :). Will share on the evening...soon, hopefully.
