Week 6
Welcome back, dear reader.
I'm sure you've also noticed that the Fastelavnsboller craze has returned to bakeries across Denmark this year, and the sweet pastry will only be available until about the end of this week. On social media, you'll see a deluge of posts about the Best-Places-to-Eat-Fastelavnsboller, so don’t forget to check them out if that’s more of your thing :) But now that the Copenhagen Fashion Week is over and the city’s extremely well-dressed fancy residents have stopped strutting the streets and dispersed into their, I assume, very fancy homes, it's once again time for us mere mortals in our appropriately unglorified winter clothes to go out there and enjoy the earthly and simple pleasures of the event scene. But what's available in English for internationals this week? Well, I’m glad you asked :)
