This week I have been on a business trip to our Lund office. I arrived on Monday night and went to the office on Tuesday morning.

On Tuesday night I joined some work colleagues from Lund for dinner at Gloria in Lund. It was fun to catch up with them.

Wednesday night I had dinner at Andreas home with his family Stina, Emil and Simon. It was yummy pasta on the menu. Again a lot if catch up and fun.

Today I will move from Lund to our Beijing office. Instead of waiting in Malmö before going to the airport for my 9pm flight I went to Copenhagen. Well, after a short stop at the airport to check in my bag.

In Copenhagen I did as a billion other people did… Walked along Ströget down to Nyhavn.

Most people seemed to stop at Nyhavn but I continues walking all the way to the Lille Havefrun. This time she was not on a business trip (last time she was in Shanghai for the World Exhibition).

On my way back from the Lille Havefrun I stopped at Andersen Bakery, just opposite the Copenhagen Central Station, for a late lunch. I had an Andersen Platte with typical Danish smörrebröd. It was delicious and I am still full.

Right now I am bone tired, waiting at the airport for my flight to depart. Hopefully I can sleep some on the flight and wake up in Beijing.

Copenhagen

So I am in Sweden on a business trip and will stay over the weekend. What to do when you are “trapped” in Malmö over a weekend?

Well, you take the train (30 minutes or so) to Copenhagen. And end up in central Copenhagen just in front of Tivoli and 5 minutes walk from StrØget. So we did – me, mother and Robert.



We arrived in Copenhagen around 11 am and walked along StrØget to Nyhavn where, I think, my grandfather grew up. And continued the walk to Kastellet to have a look at the Lille Havefrun (little mermaid), but she was on vacation at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai 🙁 But we got a live feed so we could have a look anyway, and there were always the souvenirs 😉



From Kastellet we took a ferry over to Holmen and walked to Christiania. The free haven for hippies and druggies. It was a bit trashy, and though I thought they were not allowed to sell drugs there anymore they still sold hashish in the open.




Instead of buying hashish we quickly hurried out and found a restaurant where we could have some smØrrebØd

We walked around for a while more in beautiful Copenhagen before we took the train back to Malmö, where we had dinner at the hotel again. This night it was chocolate mouse… for desert 🙂
