observed today in copenhagen while sitting in a café along gammel strand:sweet old american couple with the easy, understated elegance of retired academics, getting lattes before going on a canal tour. sweden pretty much providing all of the wait staff in copenhagen. malmö really is a suburb of copenhagen, thanks to the bridge.so many charming upright bikes with a front basket and pretty fenders.busy yellow buseseveryone is on a mobile phone is some fashion--whether texting or talking.tourists sticking out due to their fashion: spaniards with dark hair, scarves and totally different sunglasses. jutlanders with their sing-song danish and short leather jackets.trendy young men who have clearly spent hours and a fortune in hair wax/gel giving their hair that tousled bed-head look.middle-aged academics in unfashionable slightly too short sport coats. they are no doubt politiken readers.lawyers (or perhaps shipping executives) in suits, striding purposefully towards a business lunch.the odd clothing of summer. it's clear that summer is so short here that people replace their summer clothing more infrequently.
