valby and stuff

After a much-needed workout in our hotel's gym, we had a successful exploration day- we tested out public transportation on Copenhagen's above-ground subway, the S Tog. The cars were so clean that it reminded us how much of a toilet SEPTA is (not that one needs to be reminded). We took the train to Valby, the suburb where Jason will be working and also where I'm headed to practice with De Homofone, the gay chorus group here. Interestingly enough, Jason's work and the gay chorus practice location are literally next door to each other! I couldn't believe it. Next, we did some shopping back in the Strøget neighborhood in City Center. It's basically the mecca for top stores. Some are recognizable, some are not. For example, H&M and Urban Outfitters are there, but overall, Copenhagen is known for steering clear of chains, which is great. We ended with a great dinner at a place called Atlas Bar, which promoted vegetarian food, but was not limited to that. I had a veggie burger made out of beet root and goat cheese. Holy hell, I could eat one every night. There's a picture below for you to see, as well as a few other snapshots from today. Godnat (goodnight)!
