copenhagen visit

apartment in christianshavn - all pictures from sune spang

we've got new plans! our next (third) Copenhagen visit is scheduled from the 3rd to the 10th of April. We hope we'll have nice spring weather for our numerous "assignments"!

1. boliger

as we already posted and talked to many people to,we'll be able to visit the lovely apartment of our new and first copenhagen friends, Kristina & Sune in Christianshavn! Since we have talked so much about it and we have seen so many pictures and heard so many nice stories about the area we are very much excited to finally see the place. BUT we'll also have a look at other hopefully beautiful apartments which will either confuse us with additional choice or help us by picking the right one!

which means that the easter bunny will know where we stay for the first time in denmarks delightful capital.

2.cpr

with a little luck we'd be able to register for the public identification number, cpr number. it's a funny scandinavian system, without it you kind of don't exist and can't get a library card, a dankort for paying stuff and so on. I think we'll have to convince them that we can sustain ourselves somehow to get one. how, we still have to figure out. it could be very helpful if we'd be able to get it I guess!

3. work / uni

for me some work interviews are coming up, finally I hope that I'll find a position for the first couple of month. I've applied for a young architects work scholarship which will help me to find work and enables me to work as an intern. still these days architects are having troubles because of 9/11, oh sorry with the financial crisis or whatever,....

jen, is now applying for 2 different universities and 3 different courses! well, you never know which works out in the end!

4.prepaid card

we'll check out a 'three' mobile phone prepaid card. we'll post our new numbers soon!

5. explore the city!

tetsuya (our lovely doggy), jen and I will explore the city with rented bikes from København Cykler close to the train station or Baisikeli which uses part of the rental fee to renovate bikes and send them over to africa, which is kind of a nice thing. I'll try our to ride a christiania or comparable bike for the first time with tetsuya in front. I'm a bit afraid he might not like it and try to jump out of the basket! well we'll put a nice soft and cosy blanket in it for him and maybe tie him for our first couple of rides!

6. new people,

we'll try to get to know new people to make new friends to have some fun and to go out for some parties! jeh! some jazz music maybe!

all in all we are really looking forward to visiting our future hometown again, some spring air and hopefully an apartment and some more insights when we come back!

Servus and Baba,

Jen & Paul
