Denmark / 丹麥印象






初抵達哥本哈根時,天氣很晴朗,不過城市散發有設計的工業感,有一點冷調。

When we first arrived at Copenhagen, it was a fine day. The city is lined with beautifully-designed buildings which give off a cold industrial feel. 



        到處都可見自行車騎士,匆匆和我們擦身而過。

     Bicycle riders passed us by everywhere. 



        要說丹麥人不浪漫嗎?絕對不是。

     I wouldn't say the Danes are not romantic. 



        在丹麥的時間不長,沒有太多機會和當地人互動,不過整理照片時,發現我拍了好多人的黑白照片。

     Not having much time in Denmark, I didn't have many opportunities to interact with the locals. However, as I was sorting through the photos, I found many pictures of people. 













        其實在市中心小逛時,遇到好友善的丹麥人,居然因為我沒有丹麥克朗,就準備讓我吃免費的冰淇淋,還有很熱心教我丹麥文的超市店員。

     In fact, I ran into some friendly people while shopping in the city center. I was almost given free ice cream because I didn't have any Danish krones with me. Also, a very enthusiastic clerk in the supermarket taught me Danish with such patience. 





        連邱吉爾和安徒生的雕像都很迷人。

     Even the statues of Churchill and Anderson are fascinating. 




斐德列克古堡 / Frederiksborg Castle:




        十七世紀初由丹麥國王克利斯汀四世建造,從1671年至1840年間每一代丹麥國王都在此舉行加冕儀式。1859年的大火毀壞建築物,重修之後改建為博物館。

     It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century. The kings from 1671 to 1841 were inaugurated here. The fire in 1859 destroyed the building, which was later converted into a museum. 





        這趟旅行裡很喜歡在教堂裡稍待片刻,內心可以因此得到平靜。
     
     During this trip, I enjoyed my short stays in churches, where I felt rather tranquil.

克倫波古堡 / Kronborg Castle:


        是「王子復仇記」故事發生地,由丹麥王佛列得利克二世建於1574和1585年間。

     This is where the story Hamlet took place. It was built by King Frederick II from 1574 to 1585. 



        但是說實在,我對走進古堡之前的這個壯似博物館的場域比較有興趣。

     Somehow I was more interested in a museum-like place on the way to the castle. 


        回到台灣之後,某一天在八德路上的一家精品傢俱大樓裡,同一層裡就逛到兩個丹麥品牌,一是Royal Copenhagen的瓷器,一是BoConcept的高級傢俱,和後者的店員聊得很愉快,也在旅行之後對丹麥有進一步的了解!

     After the trip, I accidentally strolled into a building on Ba-der Road one day featuring high-end furniture. On one floor I found two Danish brands: Royal Copenhagen, a ceramic brand and BoConcept, a furniture company. I had a pleasant talk with the clerk working for the latter. It was then that I had a better understanding of the Danish culture.
