The modern and navigable (可航行的) city of Copenhagen combines the best of European cafe culture and Scandinavian architecture and design. It’s charming and compact, with lots of local history to dive into. Although spending time in Copenhagen can become expensive, there are many ways to experience the city on a budget as well.
Like Amsterdam, Copenhagen is one of the world’s best cycling cities. To see the city with ease, rent a bike or take a small group tour to see the sights, including the Little Mermaid, the island of Amager, and the community of Christiania. You can also take a canal boat tour to see the city from a unique perspective. The Tivoli Gardens offer a sense of romance in the evenings, and there are some excellent museums to explore. Make sure to add the National Museum/Ny Garlsberg Glyptotek, and the Museum of Art and Design to your travel itinerary (旅行日程).
If you are a beer lover, you can enjoy learning about the brewing process and tasting some samples at the Carlsberg Museum. And fashionistas will enjoy taking a wander down Stroget to browse designer goods, jewelry, and china. For a unique take on the standard museum experience, make a point to visit the Experimentarium and Museum Erotica during your stay. If you visit between June and August, it might be warm enough to take a swim at Copencabana on Vesterbro or Havnebadet at Island Brygge on Amager.
Kastrup Airport is how most visitors arrive to Copenhagen by plane, and it typically takes less than 15 minutes to get from the airport to the city center by mainline train. Public transportation is easily accessible from the Central Station and Norreport Station, which are hubs (中心) for intercity trains and buses. Canal boat tours are the easiest way to see the city’s attractions. Cycling is the fastest and most flexible way to get around, and it’s a refreshingly pedestrian-friendly city as well. Take a wander down Stroget, the longest and oldest pedestrians-only shopping street in Europe.

Carri Kessler and her husband Will named their daughter Ottilie after a friend from the U. K, who helped them a lot. However, right after their baby girl was born, the couple noticed a big problem. “No one could remember her name and no one could pronounce it. We’re going to keep having to introduce her!” Kessler told Today.com.
The situation then grew worse as Kessler’s grandmother admitted to sticking Post-It notes around the house to help remind her of Ottilie’s name which can be pronounced either Ott-ill-ee or Oh- TEEL-ya. Three months after Ottilie was born, the Kesslers have decided to legally change their daughter’s name. The couple came up with two possible names. They then settled on Margot after talking to a name expert.
The Kesslers’ situation is not uncommon as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their children’s names due to being over popular, mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.
To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their baby’ name. However, parents can change their child’s name in the event that they regret their choice. In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, in Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one.

I saw a example of kindness during the Special Olympic Games in 1968. Kim, a severe disabled boy, took part in the 50-meter dash. He was racing against two other athlete who were in wheelchairs. In the race, Kim quickly moved ahead the other two. Ten meters from the finish line, he has turned to see how the others were doing. The other boy was pushed forward with his hands. The girl had turned her wheelchair around, but he was stuck against the wall. Kim stopped, went back, but pushed the girl across the finish line. The boy in the wheelchair won the race, and the girl comes in second place. Kim lost the race. However, the crowd, included me, didn’t think so, so we all gave him a cheer for his kindness.
