My lifelong wish of going to a Danish opera came true.
It was Hitlers favorite opera, The Merry Widow or Den Glade Enke in danish. Of course I didn’t understand shit, but it was nice non the less. Not in the least because of the venue; the Copenhagen Opera House is the most expensive opera house ever built and sits beautifully on the docks of Copenhagen.
There is something to be said about Danish Culture. Beautiful architecture, the happiest people on earth, great food & nightlife and lets not forget…the highest percentage of people with one night stands. It is a great country. Where else do you get a 5 day easter holiday and free health care (Sweden??) ?
Speaking about The Sweden, I just went down to Malmo. This is the city people say about “the only good thing about Malmo is that it’s close to Copenhagen”. You can imagine I was pretty excited to go there. Turns out these people are ever so slightly wrong. Yes, it’s not that exciting. No, there isn’t much to do. But hey, if a city has a tunnel museum, a antique boot museum (real scale boats baby!) it is good in my book. Seriously though; the city is worth a trip from Copenhagen if only for it’s great architecture.
Thinking about all the stuff I have done lately I have to say, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been working 10 hour days. I guess a little creativity with time and dedication to partying can go a long way. I feel great. The new job is awesome if only for the fact that for the first time in years I’m only working with competent people (don’t get me wrong, I loved my old colleagues but they weren’t all easy to work with). Also, the company is really dedicated to giving people a nice working experience.
I guess I got really lucky. (This was an attempt to sound modest, of course it’s because I’m just that good 
)
Until next time, keep it unreal,
The flying dutchman (damn, I wish one of these nicknames would stick)

Hey Bart, Ik kom via google op jouw website terecht… en ik zit er zelf ook over na te denken om naar Kopenhagen te gaan verhuizen. Mijn vriendin is namelijk Deens en woont op het moment in Kopenhagen. We zijn beide aan het kijken wat de mogelijkheden zijn. Of ik naar haar toe kom of zij naar mij. Ik woon / werk op het moment in Newcastle (UK). Ik heb al gelezen op je site dat het moeilijk is om iets te vinden in Kopenhagen. Misschien heb je wat tips of ervaringen waar ik iets aan zou kunnen hebben?
Ik werk op het moment voor Procter & Gamble en heb hier een Sales functie – Ik zou het liefst iets doen met Sales en.of marketing in Kopenhagen, maar ja ik begrijp dat daar de Deense taal belangrijk voor is… Dus ik weet dat ik in het begin niet de droombaan zal hebben als ik verhuis naar Kopenhagen.
Mijn emailadres is martijn_koekkoek@ hotmail.com
Ik ben benieuwd of je reageert!
Alvast bedankt!
Martijn
