What time do the bars close???

I got back to Laerke’s home around 11pm from Stockholm, and was stoked to see one of my other couchsurfing friends there who I also hosted in slo! Mariella had been busy the last couple days or so and couldn’t hang out, but tonight was Friday night! Woot Woot! We hung out for a while drinking some wine, listening to party music, and debating which party/bar to go to. Man, the girls were hilarious in their natural Danish habitat btw. Haha Dancing and singing non-stop! Oh, and Laerke made this delicious red drink that had gin and some berry like juice thing that I still have no clue what it is, but it was good. J Sometimes words just don’t translate and I have to go along with what people tell me. haha

I think we left around midnight and made our way to one of the bars on foot. We stopped at a mini mart and bought some beer for our journey. I got a Carlsberg beer, which is the most famous beer from Denmark and is exporrted worldwide (pretty good, but not as good as the Belgian beer I had or some of the German beers). I’m gonna be divested when I go back to the states and can no longer legally drink beer on the streets. L

We met an interesting English fellow outside the bar and ended up hanging out with him for a good chunk of the night along with some of Mariella’s “homies.” J We pretty much just sat at a table drinking beers and talking, and before I knew what had happened, it was 3am! Haha Crazy. There were still tons of people everywhere, which I guess is pretty common in Copenhagen. People usually don’t even go out to the bars til around midnight, and they stay out til 4am easily, with some bars staying open past dawn. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing, but all I know is that Mariella and Laerke had to be somewhere at 9am the next day, so we left “early” so they could get some sleep.

I think we made it back around 3:45am and fell asleep shortly after. Definitely a crazy and memorable night in Copenhagen. Mariella and Laerke were super fun to hang out with, and I wish I could have stayed another night, but it was time to head to Berlin for a Saturday night adventure with my friend Louisa.
