The Copenhagen Report is a great place to start any artistic exploration of the Danish capital. Tim Anderson is one of Denmark's most prolific bloggers, with an archive well worth flicking through - The Guardian
This week on MyDenmarkTV.com (episode #70) we just couldn't resist comparing the 2 newest burger joints in town - Burger and Bun (in Vesterbro on Istedgade) and Cocks & Cows (on Gammel Strand right in the center of Copenhagen). These aren't just any burger places - these are places claiming to offer a homemade burger that you won't soon forget. If you're in Copenhagen and a fan of burgers, both of these places are well worth trying out and deserving of your hard earned cash, we can conclude - check out the episode to see which one was ultimately our favourite. There is a big price difference between the two - Cocks & Cows is definitely easier on your wallet. But that doesn't necessarily make it the best...
We review the danish yellow pages online (www.degulesider.dk), and offer a few resume writing tips. And finally we suggest a few language schools to check out if you are determined to learn Danish.
I'm a big fan of Tina Dickow - I'd go as far as saying she is one of my favourite Danish musicians. Her songs tend to grab you after a couple of listens ...and then you just can't get it out of your head. Sometimes the first listen gives you completely the wrong impression, because her melodies are so often so simple, yet they are incredible and powerful - it just takes a couple listens for them to sink in.
She recently debuted her new song "Copenhagen" on Anders Lund Madsen's 'Det Nye Talkshow'. I have to admit I thought the lyrics were a bit cheesey the first time I heard them, but after seeing a few friends linking to the clip I gave it a second listen ...and there you have it again, her songs inevitably grab you.
In this episode we attend the Rites of Life exhibition on the Strøget and Kongens Nytorv - the walking street in downtown Copenhagen - where we talk about and show you some of the 66 spectacular photos by Anders Ryman. We demonstrate a nice online tool to buy electronics in Denmark. For the Work in Denmark segment, we meet an analyst consultant at Børsen newspaper to talk about 'gazelle companies' in Denmark - these are companies with a spectular rate of growth over a several year period. It's impressive how many there are in Denmark - and how many have been able to grow, grow, grow in spite of the economic environment. This is great news for those who are exploring the job market in Denmark.
Last but not least we answer a viewer's question about renting an apartment in Denmark. Enjoy the show!
This time, you can check out the Eid event at Christiansborg Palace, which is the annual celebration of the end of the fasting period for Muslims - Ramadan. We interviewed the Project Coordinator, Samaira Ali of Verdenskulturhuset. You will also learn about http://www.kino.dk/, which is the best site for booking movie tickets in Denmark. We continue our 'Happy Danes' series, this time from the streets of Copenhagen where we speak with people about how happy they are and what happiness means to them.
In finally we answer a viewer's question about Denmark tourism, by discussing where Danes spend their holidays.
This time on MyDenmarkTV (Episode #66) we check out the Copenhagen Cooking Festival (including the energetic MMM Metro event as it rolled across Copenhagen), suggest an inspiring food blog by Trine Lai, who also writes a regular column for the Danish newspaper Politiken (with great Copenhagen restaurant tips), and talk about the Danish working environment with one of DI respresentatives (Dansk Industri). And just for fun we run through a few popular Danish actors - both internationally and in Denmark. But really, it was MMMM Metro that provided us with such a great backdrop for this episode.
