Noma- the three-time number one restaurant in
the world- is located right along the Holmen canal. On average, reservations must be made three months in
advance. At one point,
reservations had to be made a year in advance. Anyway, the chef's of this restaurant participate in ‘Saturday-
night projects’- a night of creativity and beer drinking, you know, for “team
spirit.” Probably the happiest
back-of-house chef's you’ve ever seen!

Frederiksborg Castle, located just north of
Copenhagen, is the oldest palace in Scandinavia. Dating back to the early 17th century, it houses
the Museum of Natural History.
Remarkably decorated and stunningly impressive, the Danish King
Christian IV seemed like quite the practical man. The basement of the castle housed all of his riches. But, instead
of struggling down the stairs with his money, he had a coin slide built into
the wall. This way, he could
insert his coins from the ground level into the wall, which would travel down to
the basement level, shoot out of the wall and into his basement treasury.

I’m sure we’re all familiar with the Tivoli
gardens- the amusement park that may have inspired Walt Disney’s Disney World. However, some of Tivoli’s rides are
designed to regenerate energy. For
example, “The Vertigo” uses the power of its movement when it decelerates. All the power that slows it down is
stored and reused. And so, about 25%
of the electricity that “The Vertigo”
uses is regenerated.
