Nyhavn
Copenhagen airport is really unlike Singapore's sleek and clean airport. It's quite confusing and disorganized.
The most unfortunate thing was that Nancy's laptop was stolen at the airport! We were just sitting outside Burger King in the airport and the next thing we knew, the laptop bag was gone! Unbelievable. It was stolen right under our noses.
So for those who are thinking of going to europe (or anywhere else in the world), please remember that airports and train stations are by far the most common place where pickpockets and conmen hang out. Do be careful of our belongings!
So anyway, we got over the initial shock, and after Nancy called back home, we headed to our hotel (we arrived earlier than our hostels were ready, so we booked a hotel). After settling down, we went to the nearest police station to make a police report of the theft.
What an experience. First day in Copenhagen, and we're at the police station. Haha.

First day in Copenhagen and where do we go to? The Nyhavn of course!

After the traumatizing ordeal, we decided to just relax and tour some of the places.
First day in Copenhagen and where do we go to? The Nyhavn of course!
Directions: Get off the Metro at Kongens Nytorv, turn to your right, cross the road and walk in the direction of The Danish Royal Theater which is right beside the metro station. Continue walking until you see Nyhavn. You can't miss it :)
Beautiful sight of the many boats docked by the canal side. You can take the Copenhagen canal tour boat at the Nyhavn. Best place for taking pictures and sightseeing. It figures why there are so many tourists there.
We then met up with Ivan's SMU friends, Nic and Daphne, who later became one of out closest friends in Copenhagen :)
We bought a drink each and sat by the river side near the Nyhavn to chill. Cool breeze and great company. It was most relaxing.
You can also see many cafes and bars along the colourful buildings in Nyhavn. Many danes just sitting by the canal, enjoying the cool autumn breeze and drinking their beer. They are so slow paced as compared to Singapore.

That's the thing about Denmark. Everything is so slowww. Good place for retirement probably, but not for me. I like it fast paced - it's more of a challenge that way. ;)
