Here is another link to an article about the great city of Copenhagen. It was recently named the 11th best city in the world to live. By comparison, no U.S. city made the top 30. Honolulu was 31 and San Francisco was 32. Interesting.

I found this lovely posting on one of my favorite web site's, Brand New. Copenhagen, Denmark initiated a new advertising campaign for the city. As much as I enjoy the branding aspect of the post, I also enjoyed the sweet, sweet description of my upcoming place of residence.
"I love Copenhagen. The city has been labeled one of the most livable, green, tolerant, trade-friendly, design-friendly, business-friendly and pretty places in the world. One third of the population bikes to work. Those who don’t can be found on the spotless metro where all passengers seem to have rolled out of a cryonic spa on their way to a super-secret club to sip Carlsberg with other blindingly blond models, rockstars, and royal friends of the welfare state. The capital city of nearly 2 million is composed of delicately packed mansions, apartments and commercial buildings which are mostly human-scale and in impeccable condition. Apart from the occasional Lutheran spire or round tower, there is a striking absence of high rise and brutal modern boxes, and the city is hosting a renaissance of great architecture. The only tangible drawback is that it gets really effing cold and dark in the winter."
I'm immensely looking forward to riding a bike and getting fit! Maybe I won't have chicken legs by the time I return. Woot.
