Copenhagen

I came to Copenhagen early, when barely anything was open. It was cold, about 10 degrees and the dark sky did not look promising. But it rained only very little and I decided to use the nothingness of the morning for a walk to the very centre. Not a long walk, but not the most enjoyable either, due to the 30 kilo on the back plus guitar.

I found a supermarket that opened at seven, got something to eat and then went for a cup of coffee to MacDonnalds. I mean, cup of coffee, internet, power socket and toilets ^^ otherwise the 15 dkk would be a bad deal for the weak cup of coffee. I stayed inside till nine, when the city looked like woken up and then got to the streets. I eventually played at 6 or 7 different places, mostly down the main promenade and streets around. And it was really nice. Except for thumbs up, coins and great atmosphere on the streets, I was e.g. "Interviewed" by one girl who's travelling and writing a book about street music. Or an older man came and told me about his streetplaying from years ago. And one more musician offered me tips on how to take it to another level, by studying one book about mind. But most of all I enjoyed the nice, eventually sunny day, which made it enjoyable to play. Still, however, playing the whole day is hard work, and I have a new respect for people who make a living like this. I guess the only way to do it, is to actually like it : -)

I took another overnight bus from Copenhagen to Oslo. And if the lesson from the previous one was "take earbuds and eye mask", now its "take lots of warm clothes". Here on the north, the summer has yet to come (or this is the summer) and the temperature in the morning was just over 6 degrees, and it was not much warmer in the bus. I managed, but took the lesson.

Next stop - Oslo. It looks like sunny and nice day :-)

Ps: if you ask why don't I put some pictures from sightseeing, its simply cause I dont do any - the bag is a bit too heavy for that, and plus I have already been in these places.
