Don't really know anything about these... but they were also in a museum here.
I do know a little about these 2 beauties, but I ll let someone else talk about them.
The roofs on some of the houses are really strange... I don't know much about how they are made or how long they last.
I find it strange that some bricks in the street are made out of wood... Notice the grain.

Mr G,
Best wishes in your relocation. Haven't been back to Denmark since 1985, but the experience was excellent.
I am sure it's changed, but the Carlsberg Brewery tour was outstanding. A dapper three-piece suit clad guide named Uncle Peter led our group into the free and unlimited company pub. He then proceeded to order everyone a round of each beer they produced. Afterward, we could keep ordering anything we liked for free. He drank with us until the last person on the tour gave up. He seemed unaffected, and I don't know how I got back to the hotel.

That's awesome!!! I myself have had a number of those kind of instances where the locals I drank with seemed unaffected, in a few places around the world. I will have to check it out even though I am not much of a drinker anymore.

I just started my Danish language class, but I am pretty sure I am saying this street name wrong....
A cool statue in Copenhagen.
My daughter checking out some of the cool stuff at the museum.
An awesome miniature ship with unbelievable detail.
And one carved from ivory...
Sorry about the glare.

If your into dual meanings in Scandinavia, visit the town of HE_L, in Norway. And bring your passport. The railroad stationmaster will stamp it and then you have proof you gone there. Silly, but it is in the stunning fjord region near Trondheim, if your touring.

Gunar,
You just made my day my friend. This as been a walk down memory lane for me. I just showed the pictures to my Mother also. I have seen a lot of what you posted--I guess it just takes a little bit to refresh the old brain bucket, and things come back.
The one word you mentioned--it's all good-lol. Don't fight it man.
Before you know it, you will be rocking, and have the benefit of speaking a new language. Saying things like---hold da kæft--op i røven.
You will fit perfect. Look forward to hearing more about your adventures in Denmark.
Your friend,
Henry

The truth be told, other than having to pass the Danish A1 test (a 20 minute, multiple choice test, supposed to be very easy) to fulfill immigration requirements. I could probably get along just fine in Denmark only speaking English. As a matter of fact, I know that I could. Especially since I work on Harley Davidsons. But I feel that if I want to practice what I preach, I must learn Danish (if I am going to live here). It's going to be a whole lot of work, and may take me years. But it will be worth it being able to show the people that I encounter that I am glad to be here. It boils down to respect. Its very important to me, especially since I have always been so Hell bent on it there in the U.S. Call me crazy, or call me old fashioned. Just don't call me late, for one of these

Gunar,
The benefit is that English is spoken all over the world. It's mandatory in many Country's, and Denmark is no exception. The majority speak very good English, and you could live there and people would be happy to communicate that way, and not think anything about it.
You are correct--people will respect you a lot more in making the strives to learn their language. When I was serving in Germany, I wanted to talk to the Germans best I could in their language. And it opened many doors to be sure.
How I wish people here at home would insist on the same.
Either way, you will fit right in.
Your friend,
Henry

Me too, unfortunately all the German I really learned was about enough to get my face slapped, ask for a cigarette or lighter, and ask for a beer. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Absolutely!Had any red hotdogs and Tuborg yet ?
Hey Knigge, did you ever get a good replacement front insert for your model 29? I brought a bottle of the Brownells liquid acrylic and a few colors with me to Denmark, if you want me to do one for you. It would take me less than an hour to do. I can duplicate the factory orange, red or yellow in a rock solid insert. Much better than a screwdriver handle and I wouldn't charge you anything. We would just need to work out the logistics. If nothing else, we are planning a trip to my wifes grandmothers cottage next summer, near Nottodden, Norway. Maybe we could do it then. Just let me know.

Love that picture of the 3 master with the
little boy whizzing into the fountain!

Not saying that's really what little man is doing,
yet I have been inspired by the sound of tricking water
That really is a beautiful spot.
