LUND, Day 13 – Copenhagen!!

The BOY says:

Well it’s Sunday again and much unlike back in Singapore, it is our designated rest day of sorts. This is the day where we do our laundry, clean our rooms and of course, update blog entries. Service here starts at 5pm so we’ve got plenty of free time till then.

Yesterday, Goon and I along with 2 other Singaporean friends Jimmy and Eng Seng (his surname is Gan by the way…. Hahahaha) went for a little trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. Many of you might think it’s very far to go to another country but Copenhagen is about 1 hour’s train ride away, something like JB and Singapore. And guess what, you don’t even need your passport because of some central agreement between the European countries here.

In Copenhagen, we went to see the famous national museum, which was SOOO big that we only managed to cover 1 room on 1 storey in 45minutes. (There’s many rooms per storey and 3 storeys so you can see how big it is). We also went to see the palaces of the royal family, the local art museum, and walked all the way across the city to a seaside park (nicer then east coast). At this seaside park, was the famous little mermaid. It’s basically a stone statue of a mermaid who according to the famous fairy tale, is waiting for her prince to come back to her and eventually turned to stone. However, to be perfectly honest, it was pretty disappointing to walk over 40min to just see a statue in the sea…

Well that’s all I’m going to say and I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
