Backstreet Boys Back Alright



The finale of Denmark's X factor was shown on TV over the weekend and I will say congratulations to the charming, young Martin who won the popular singing competition. He reminds me a bit of a young Justin Timberlake, physically anyhow, which brings me to the topic of this blog.

The Backstreet Boys are performing in Denmark in April. For those who have been living on the moon and don't know ...

"Specifically" Seaside Thailand



Kata BeachWe have just booked our trip to Thailand. We are heading to Phuket again, but this time to picturesque Kata Beach not Karon Beach like last year. No specific reason, we just want to try something new. It got me reminiscing about the different trips we have booked over the years. Most of them ...

Nowhere like Nomas



I just read that chartered trip bookings for Danes travelling elsewhere this summer are up 30% compared to the same time period in 2007. People here, sure love to travel. Since I won't be able to travel much myself this summer we are looking to get away in May. That's if my passport is signed, sealed and delivered here on time. Oh, I won't go into that as it gives me ...

Senegal Sun in Copenhagen



Last year, at about this time I was vacationing in sunny Cape Verde, located just off of Africa's Senegalese coast. While there, I was seduced by the various dance forms and music. Drawing from Portuguese and African influences, I found the music to be unique, sensual and rhythmic. That's why when I read that one of Africa's biggest rock/pop international music stars is making a pit stop in Copenhagen tonight, ...

I'm Dreamin' of a White Easter



The Easter holidays have arrived here in Denmark with a bang, in the form of snow we would have rather seen at Christmas. Personally, I don't mind it. I think it is bright and cheery, much nicer than the rain. Unfortunately, not all Danes would agree with me as according to reports, many of them have been trying to "eggscape" this Easter holiday by making last minute arrangements to high ...

Leonard Cohen in Copenhagen



Today has felt a bit like being in the twilight zone. It's just been one of those days, not "easy like Sunday morning," by any means. I had to start working at 8:00 a.m. this morning. I couldn't log in. There was something awry with our company's site. Okay, not a major catastrophe, the server was down and wouldn't be up for a few hours. No problem, I thought. I'll ...

Royal Ring is Fish Fodder



Apparently, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark has misplaced his wedding ring. Unfortunately, he didn't just accidentally leave it lying around on the coffee table at home. According to seoghoer.dk, the Prince was on a diving tour in Florida, U.S.A. and it slipped off of his finger. It all happened this past January while the Prince was on a sailing trip off of the North American Coast in Florida. While on ...

Easter Sell Out



I started the ball rolling with my passport renewal yesterday by getting some new photos done. I still have a collection of rejects from the last time I tried to renew my passport.  It makes me think of that 1994 comedy called Clifford where he says, "Don't reject me..."

Anyhow, passport renewal time is a bit of a pain for all parties involved including the photographer. People with a Danish passport ...

Happiness Is 2900



Well, I just got back from working on a TV series this morning. Maybe working is the wrong word because I like to do it once in awhile just to get me out and about. The series is a TV 3 series called Happiness 2900. It's sort of a Dallas meets Dynasty type of night time soap opera that takes place in the rather affluent area known as Hellerup, located ...

Second Coming of Neil Young



I promise that this will be my last Neil Young post, maybe... People will start to wonder if I'm some sort of stalker or something. I just had to mention that I found out today that the singer/songwriter will be coming to Denmark yet again, this summer. He will be performing here in July at the largest Northern European music festival, that being the one and only "Roskilde Festival."

Apparently, it will be his ...
