well the real insiders are only for insiders and will not be distributed on the web. Bumping arround copenhagen you will come accross bars: MOOSE (cheap beer on thursdays and Saturdays), Student house ( allways crowded on wednesdays), Zoo Bar (wildest parties on wednesday and Fiydays) The whole street Istedgade is packed with good bars; Night clubs: Rust, Vega, Stengade 30. Of course you don't want to miss CHRISTIANIA. Copenhagen Jazzfestival, Filmfestival....... I'm tired of typing now. go and explore the city!!!

I had a funny language experiece during my time in Denmark, bacause everybody there speaks verry good english there was no need to learn the local language. So there where different developments in English and danish: ENGLISH: Before I came to denmark Iknew english quite well. So beeing among not english-speaking-native-speakers it was hard to improve my english. So I took the chance to learn a bit DANISH: This appeared pretty easy to me as it is verry familiar to german and I seeked to use danish in my everydaylife. In terms of learning Danish it was a real success. But for English it has just been a refreshment.

Final comments

Come here in Summer, Copenhagen is a cold and windy city. But it still is one of the most beatiful and cosmopolitan places in Europe: Lots of good Music, extremely beatiful girls and located close to the ocean. The country itself is really small, clean and modern, but travelling to Sweden and Norway gives a lot of new inspirations!
