Metal Monday

@AmonAmarthBand #JOMSVIKING #geflemetalfestival #geflemetal @AmonTed @AmonSoderberg

Two months until the 2018 Gefle Metal Festival. I won’t be going this year as it conflicts with the 2018 Metal Magic Festival which I will be going to (in its entirety for the first time–I’ve been twice but only for one day before this year).

Vesterbro Vinstue

Vesterbro Vinstue

I don’t eat out often in Copenhagen. The food just isn’t usually that good, and it’s always expensive. However, if you are in Copenhagen, and want a first-class meal, Vesterbro Vinstue is the place to go. You can order individual items for 95 DKK each or get a five-course dinner for 350 DKK (a bit over $50 but tax is included and tipping isn’t done in Denmark). Compare that to Noma which is 2,250 DKK (and is all vegetarian or vegan).

I have no idea what the above item is. All I know is I’ve been to Vesterbro Vinstue twice, have had 10 different things, all were awesome, and I didn’t know what any of them were.

I would love to do this adventure again, maybe in the spring or autumn.

I took today’s photo after watching a Swallows game in Tokyo at Meiji Jingu Stadium (明治神宮野球場). I think I was in the Gaienmae Station. Is anyone familiar with that station? Am I correct in that guess?

Today’s photo comes from Hawaii. If you are ever near the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, drive to the end of Naupaka Street (AKA Lāʻie Point State Wayside). You can park out on the natural pier and wander around for some great views. This was my view looking down as crabs scattered at my presence.
