Copenhagen photos on Schmap

Friday, March 6th, 2009

2 of the pictures I took on a business trip to Copenhagen got picked up for Schmap’s online guide.  One of them appears to be one of the only decent photos of the hotel I stayed at under a Creative Commons license on Flickr.  You can see them on the guide at:

Nyhavn Harbour

and

Palace Hotel

It’s kinda cool.

I like Scotch. Scotchy-Scotch-Scotch.

I’m a big fan of single-malt Scotch Whisky.  One of my favorite movie lines is above, and I have been heard quoting it at Scotch tastings.  I may therefore blog about it sometimes.  Currently I have a bottle of Johnny Walker Black at home for mixing and late nights and a bottle of Aberlour 12 as my “good stuff.” When I travel, I have been known to take a small flask, as it saves money, and then I know what I’m getting.

Oddly enough, however, I probably only have a glass of Scotch every 2-3 weeks, unless one of my “Scotch buddies” is in town.  The price is high, and there is such thing as “too much of a good thing” I believe.

Later I’ll explain why, but when I have a new Scotch, I write limericks about it.  They will start to appear here.
