Bars, Castles and Danish Food

This weekend was really enjoyable, with the exception of Saturday during the day because it was foggy and no one really did anything.

Friday night a group of friends and I decided to go to this bar I had found online (Charlie's Bar), it has 16 taps and carries 4-6 microbrews...unfortunately by the time we got there it was PACKED so we had to forgo Charlie's Bar for another night. We ended up at a place called Kant, which was a little more razzle dazzle then we were expecting but we got a deal on drinks so we gave it a try.

It was fun and nice to try, though most of us agreed we probably wouldn't go again. Here is a picture from inside (Monica, myself, Divya and Margaret).

Fast forward to Saturday after a day of laundry and sitting on my butt doing nothing. Monica, Stephanie and myself decided to make mini pizzas for dinner which turned out amazingly delicious. We also went up to Divya's apt for a party which was really fun, but was super packed in that small place.

Finally, Sunday was here and a couple of us (Audrey, Monica and Rachel) wanted to head to the Rosenborg Castle. It was built in the 15th century, but since about the 18th it hasn't been used to much of anything except storing the artifacts of old royalty. It was really interesting to see all the different rooms and trinkets they had made for themselves. My particular favourite things included the elaborately beautiful clocks (now we might call them Steampunk style), and the guns...typical Canadian girl. Unfortunately it cost money to take pictures so we let Rachel do that because she has a nice Canon SLR so I'll have those once she uploads them. The castle was quite chilly so afterward we went to a near by studying/bookstore/cafe/restaurant kind of deal that many of the students go to. We tried some traditional pickled herring (not my personal favourite, but good to try at least once) and chatted. I also tried a white beer they had on tap, it was a Danish brew but the name escapes me now, it was good, but I think I would have preferred something with a more prominent taste. On our way to the S-train we stopped at one of the famous bakeries in town (called Lagkagehuset), upon my request, and got some treats.

Having fun reading this? I'll be updating as much as possible!
