Several years ago, I was walking around the central station of
Copenhagen city, looking for nothing particular, but just enjoying pieces of winter
scenery of this northern harbor-city, after checking-in a business hotel near
there. It was in the middle of the Christmas holidays, so, I hardly found shops,
stores, even restaurants opened around the station, and as
a consequence, people waiting for a train, coming from the station for passing
the time, soon went back to platforms with empty hands.
On the other, the historic amusement park, Tivoli Gardens, located literally next to the
station, was opened and endlessly attracted families with little kids,
even after dark and flakes of snow falling. While walking around the historical old town, its harbor, the main shopping streets and the solemn palace, I finally came to feel chilly and hungry, so, naturally looking for any cafes or restaurants, hopefully for having Danish local specialities.
An hour later, I was in the restaurant, the Hard Rock Cafe, which was all I found in this city under cover of this snowy night, and I was warmly welcomed there by the cheerful Danish staffs. While waiting for my tender steak, I sipped beer from a glass, then, remembered that one of my colleagues at the time collected Hard Rock Cafe's T shirts printed local logos, when traveling around the US or foreign countries.
Here was in the winter Denmark, still I saw snow flakes kept falling.
