We are back in Paris and for the next two months we plan to enjoy what the city has to offer from every angle. We started by going to Concorde and windowshop in the most expensive of neighborhoods while watching the very trendy people around Colette concept store...next on the list is a picnic in the parc with friends for my slowly approching thirtieth...its just around the corner and I feel just great, a bit overweight but thats nothing a little bit of exercise, a cut in delicious desserts and a no butter rule can't cure. And since I'm into lists and people are asking about it, I'll put the 10 things I wish for my birthday:

1. A new address book
2. Cook books, with healty recipies / special soups / or desserts
3. Books in general (On spin, or vegetables, or herbs,or "how to raise the perfect child"  or why not fiction)
4. Some exotic things to put in the hair (like the "Paris tiara" sold on Faubourg St Honoré)
5. Perfum
6. Wrinkle cream
7. A pill that will take off all the extra fat WHILE I'll eat a big chocolate cake 
8. A job in Copenhagen, preferably in English
9. Danish specialties of any kind (could be tickets to the tivoli, hot dogs or anything else)
10. And World Peace!

Just that.A warm thought sent through the internets will also be accepted

Takk

Yes, the little family is having an appetizer in the danish Monarchy. We are on a little journey to look at our future home (that dare I say needs a bit of fresh paint after the pigs that lived there moved out) and meeting friends and family. The first part in 101 Reykjavik (and 107) was relaxing and included alot of good moments with great people. Little Mr. F has been the star of the show and is now laughing when he´s not pooping or sleeping. Well actually, sometimes he does smile when doing that as well. How could we produce such a happy child? Lets hope he stays like this. Our little swimming champion.

Im already loving it here but Pan is good reminding me that we are here on VACATION and that it is not THIS sunny all the time. But I dont care. I love all the dads walking around Copenhagen with their "barnevogns", the big parcs all over town, the cristiania bikes where you can put all your crap in and the good athmosphere reigning here in Denmark´s Monte Carlo. We are expecting rain tomorrow but it doesnt matter. We´ll just go furniture-hunting for our new home. I hear there are alot of "Loppe" markets in Loland. And it doesnt mean feet of small animals no no. Ok, that language is going to be a tough cookie. I am up for such a challenge - I am up for anything. Bring on the Main course!

This picture is for the sceptical ones.

It is heaven to work in Copenhagen, at least according to the website "Copenhagen capacity". OF COURSE, but hey, who would be dumb enough to mention the gang violence the city is fighting against or recents shootings in Norrebro if they were trying promote the city outside their country? Not me.

What is great on this website is that they talk alot about the perfect balance and show pictures of children all the time. So Im guessing they are talking about the perfect balance between work and family life. Which is handy because that's exactly what we are looking for (and I wont say no to a friendlier environment for small children). Not only that, but they show men at work with babies in their arms in the official video! Somehow I doubt that fathers take their 3 months old to work but its sweet. In our heads, Pan and I have big expectations towards this move - but I have to realise that things are perhaps not going to be so rosy and great from day 1. First of all we need to find a nice appartement in a friendly neighborhood, get a place for Felix in a "Voggustue" and a job for little miss Kolka. That might be the tricky part. But there is no going back, we have both given our resignations at work (well mine was not so much as a resignation as an agreement to leave) so now we can only look forward. Its scary but exciting. And To prepare I am reading up on the Danish royal family (As George Clooney would say "What else?").

Copenhagen, the city where the people are allegedly the happiest,  here we come.
