It's easy to complain about how expensive in Copenhagen is. The 25% sales tax is the highest in the world along with Sweden and Norway so literally everything is more costly than in the states. It's a rough transition but I've been trying to find things that are both unique to Copenhagen and relatively inexpensive. The 'dollar store' Tiger is so named because the 10 kroner coin has the same animal on it. Most things in the store cost 10-20DKK (2-4 dollars) and they have a pretty decent selection just like discount stores in the US. With nothing planned for Friday Michael and I decided to buy a 20DKK bottle of wine and sit in the botanical gardens in the middle of the city. It's basically an odd park with all sorts of strange plant life. Definitely something you don't expect for the middle of a city.
A surprising number of plants were poisonous
Saturday we went to the Carlsberg Brewery, which supposedly has the cheapest beer in Copenhagen. For $10, you get a tour of the museum and 2 beers of your choice. Very cool.
This is what 14,000 bottles of beer looks like
Turns out Master Brew has 11% alcohol. Not a wise choice in retrospect.

Your father here. I hope the "11% alcohol content, not a wise choice" refers to the taste and not the after affects!
"odd" gardens? might they have seemed less odd before drinking the wine?
you drunk.
agrees with your father.
