So once if a while getting picked up in a bar works out like a fairy tale.  Prince charming really is out there somewhere.

[Buckeye]

Congratulations Danmark!!
Does this mean everyone gets a week off now to celebrate?

[Floater]

Denmark is europe's oldest reigning monarchy?

[BwiBwi]

Guess they are.
I know the restaurant I went to Cafe Petersborg is old. I believe it was opened in 18th century.

Dang, if I was 10 years older it could have been me! If I was Australian of course, and at that bar at that exact time....
I guess I have to wait for Prince William...

Yes, it is. Why is that so hard to believe?   

Does this mean everyone gets a week off now to celebrate?

Unfortunately not! It would have been nice though...
When the Crown Prince and Crown Princess got married in May 2004 it was a big celebration with numerous big events like concerts etc. going on all over the country. Especially in Copenhagen. I wasn't in Denmark at that time though when all this was going on, guess where I was....   

I know the restaurant I went to Cafe Petersborg is old. I believe it was opened in 18th century.

Where?

[Buckeye]

I wasn't in Denmark at that time though when all this was going on, guess where I was....   

Uhmm....in  the most beautiful country in the world?

 

[BwiBwi]

Cafe Petersborg is near the water front. Near Churchillparken.
It is in the OLD Russian consulate building (old like 17th century).
Great atmosphere.
I took the ferry from Oslo arrived at Coppenhagen a beautiful city.

Bwi Bwi, I didn't know you've been to DK. You probably took the same overnight ferry cruise trip from Oslo to Copenhagen that we took twice. Did you check out the duty free shop on board where the Scandinavians madly load up their shopping carts with booze as it is tax free? What did you eat in Oslo? The first time we went, we ended up spending CAD$15 (that's right, FIFTEEN) on ONE Burger King meal (a burger, fries, drink).

Tax in Denmark probably just got raised again to pay for child support of the new Royal baby.

[BwiBwi]

Ya expensive alright I stayed at the Rainbow hotel on the mountain in Oslo it cost 450 CDN a night!!! and the room is smaller than my dome room in university!!!. And Macdonald wow I thought I was in a 4 star restaurant. Can't believe the price.
Yap duty free shop was loaded with people. The ferry ride is nice though, complete with stateroom. 

Oh but the MacDonald I went to was on second floor at the square, they have a few TV showing soccer games

I don't know for sure, but it looks like maybe Rodney is chopped liver!

That's how I am treated usually, like leverpostej.

[BwiBwi]

Hey Rodney, do you know what that building by a bridge with god statue as post all around the bulding is called?

[Nina]

mmm....leverpostej...one of my favourites..... 

Hey Rodney, do you know what that building by a bridge with god statue as post all around the bulding is called?

In Copenhagen? Or Oslo?

I was watching the Food Channel tonite (Good Eats), and the show said that the Danes eat the most candy per capita in the world.  Just in case anybody was wondering which country consumes the most candy per capita.
Hey Nina, next time you come over can you bring me some real Danish "candy" to sample?!?!
