This is an actual artist's rendering of a combined heat and power plant that they are proposing to build here in Denmark. As part of the proposal, they are planning to make it a multi-purpose plant, using the exterior of the plant as a ski slope. As flat as Denmark is, there could be the demand. But the ridiculous part is that it would only be the size of a small hill, and it usually is not cold enough to keep snow frozen anyway. I really found this picture amusing because the power company chose to communicate the positive attributes of the plan by showing ski-babes in bikinis enjoying themselves, with some guys off to the side ogling at them.

The Year of the Rabbit (fur)
This week, Copenhagen rang in the Chinese New Year the best way it knew how - with Copenhagen Fashion Week. The Copenhagen version of the better-known festivals held in Paris and New York is the largest and most significant fashion event in Scandinavia. As such, combined with the fact that Copenhagen is quite a small city, I expected to see plenty of super-hot models walking about town, and fashion events galore. Perhaps I am not glamorous or cool enough, but in fact, outside of the banners telling me so, I could not really even tell that the fashion festival was going on.
This is the closest I came to seeing any models. The big screen let me know of all the cool stuff that was happening, but I was not invited to. Below is a pair of shoe/sandals that I happened to see in a shop window. If this is any indication of Scandinavian fashion, I don't think I missed much this week. They should stick to making furniture.
