Weekend in Warsaw

travel / 8 Comments

I got into Warsaw right about on time, and immediately headed for the airport bathroom. I was supposed to be interviewed as soon as I got out into the arrivals hall, and I had been traveling overnight and with very little sleep. (Thank you, Mr. Middle Seat, for elbowing me every.single.hour. to either ask me a question I didn’t know about Amsterdam Schiphol Airport or ask me to get up so you could go walk the aisles. Next time, book early, and book an aisle!) In short, I looked like a mess – and I need to fix it! Twenty …

Stopping to smell the roses

travel / 5 Comments

On Wednesday night, while I should have been going to the gym and getting in a good workout, I instead chose to catch up with a college friend who lives in DC. Sometimes you just have to take a break and have some fun! I didn’t regret the decision at all – we went for dinner and with two of his friends, and then one of my coworkers came to join us for the later part of the evening, when we checked out a few bars on U Street. And when I say later, I do mean “later” – I …

Copenhagen Restaurant Review: Relae

travel / 3 Comments

After resting all afternoon, I was ready and eager to get going on Saturday night! A few weeks ago, when I first booked my trip to Copenhagen, I started pulling out all the stops to try to eat at Noma, recently taking the title from El Bulli as the best restaurant in the world. However, reservations there are taken 6 months in advance, and it’s next to impossible to get one inside that window. On the bike tour, we rode by and stopped to look at the harbor from right in front of it, and I couldn’t resist going in …

SaturDAY in Copenhagen

travel / 1 Comment

I had originally found the bike tour on a list of top things to do in Copenhagen, but my coworker didn’t seem too thrilled about it, so I figured I’d just go off on my own. However, when I ended up being absolutely freezing while walking to lunch and dinner (and realizing that I really hadn’t packed any warmer clothes/gear), I thought maybe I’d skip the bike tour in favor of something indoors. As it turned out, my coworker and her friend ended up being totally psyched about doing the bike tour… and if they were doing it, I wasn’t …

First night in Copenhagen

travel / 1 Comment

After working all day, I got to relax a bit on Friday night. At the recommendation of our hotel concierge, we checked out an organic restaurant nearby that was supposed to have some good homestyle Danish cuisine: Bio Mio. After some navigation difficulty in finding the restaurant, we eventually located it and went in. It was a big open bar/restaurant that seemed like a lounge in decor and appearance, with some tables situated amongst clusters of couches and easy chairs instead of the usual setup. Most of the others were tall wooden tables that were simplistic in their design, as …
