If it is Thursday this must be Cophenhagen

Pictures will follow (only two or three) The work went well. An interesting and nice taxi driver who took me from the hotel to the office could speak Dutch, learned it from his ice-skating club; half of the members are Dutch, h4 showed me (on the map) an area close to Copenhagen where the streets have Dutch names (hmmm nice title for a song). I will need to do some research into that but not now as the aquavit is calling. I wanted to blog at least a little today because otherwise the title would have been: "If yesterday was Thursday, it must have been Copenhagen", which does not have the same ring as the current title.
Two other nice things:
Electronic Check in: when you get of the metro at the airport you can check in electronicly: type in your reservation number, verify an/or change your seat and your boarding pass is printed, on to security in two minutes.
The Metro in Copenhagen: the tracks are separated by a glass/seethrough walls and the metro stops excatly at the right place so two sets of sliding doors open up,it does wonders for the smell in the station and the mess on the tracks.

I think I remember the tube in London having doors that open like that, but over there it doesn't do anything for the smell or the mess.
