The events we have lined up for the remainder of the week all look pretty good. Tonight we get to experience some traditional Danish Folk Dancing with the professional dance group Amagerlands Folkedansere (roughly "Amager-land Folk-dancers," Amager being the smaller of the islands on which Copenhagen is situated), which according to ISUP is one of the highest rated events every semester.
Tomorrow it's off to Tivoli, an amusement park that first opened in 1853. There are a number of attractions to see and do, including 38 different restaurants, shooting galleries, flower gardens, open-air shows, fireworks (at 11:45 on Saturdays), bumper cars, an acquarium, and a cabaret theatre among other things. The night we are going there will be an 80's Danish band called "One Two" playing at 10 o'clock (in Danish). The best known attractions of Tivoli are:
- Rutsjebanen, a wooden roller coaster which was built in 1913.- The Demon, a roller coaster that I think I will be avoiding, thank you very much (motion sickness).
- Himmelskibet ("The Sky Flyer"), the world's tallest carousel (80m), which opened last year.
- Commedia dell'Arte, an open-air pantomime theatre.
- Koncertsal, a large concert hall where international symphony orchestras and ballet troupes sometimes perform.
Saturday we are off to North Zealand to visit so kick-ass castles. As some of you know, I kind of have a castle fetish so this trip is going to be pretty cool. I'll blog more about that trip on Sunday.

The Himmelskibet's got nothing on the London Eye (135m). That means I, in fact, hold the family record for highest ride on a rotating wheel device.
Come to think of it, Rae and I are tied for the record. You'll be third.
Have fun at the castles.
