Company: We just got your expense report. Could you explain Nordic cumsluts? Gangbang fever 5? Van Wilder, the Rise of Taj?
Me: The Van Wilder Taj movie isn't porn.
Company: We still need an explanation for watching that piece of crap.
The Netherlands had free porn on tv. Well, 15 years ago, anyway.
Hey! We have both Bear Grylls/OC Choppers and porn after midnight in Copenhagen.
If there is enthusiasm I'm up for a Copenhagen meet. I've got icelandic relatives who recently moved to copenhagen as economic refugees.

Copenhagen is a nice little town. Things I did there: visit the Round Tower, the Arsenal (great collection of firearms from 16th century to modern), Rosenborgs Castle (nice that everything is written in German as that was the court language of Christian IV).

Surely your wife must have come with a bigger dowry than that? After all, what if she wants to go to college once she graduates high school in a few years?
Just remember you don't have to tip. :P If you do tip then don't use the 10 to 15 % rule...that's too much.
Although people won't be offended if you do tip that amount.

I don't tip much at all while outside the US, except in Canada. I've read way too many sanctimonious Euros over the years on the subject of tipping, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I think Denmark's gone more conservative since my youth there, but if it's bright and sunny and summery you could always try to find a beach or park and see if you can spot any topless sunbathers or swimmers. Or is that just not done anymore in Denmark?
The topless sunbathing has fallen off a lot in the past 10-20 years.
Oh... and Extra Bladet (one of the tabloids) has naked chicks on page 3 or 12 or whatever page it is. So flip through that at the hotel for cheap thrills.

Your guess is as good as mine on that. I'd guess a pretty girl whose job is to hand out champagne and be ogled and, depending on context, possibly be topless and/ or provide blow jobs.
But really, I have no idea.
Then I did a quick google search for "champagne pige" (which is the Danish translation) and it appears that it's a high class call girl and (semi-)current slang for the kind of girls who sleep with politicians, at least in tabloid usage. It also appears that the term is used by certain establishments strippers and the like for places that like to position themselves as "classy."
So now my guess is it could be any kind of position (ahem) in the sex industry, with a small helping of pretend-class to make it seem glamorous.
Oh and... Ed... are strippers and lap dances ok, or are those off limits as well? If not, I came across this location, while googling champagne girls, which may be of interest: http://www.clubhollywood.dk/the-girls/

Museums ...
My favourite is this one, it's a bit of this and that and baroque bits and rooms that I find entertaining. How did royalty live who wanted to be the Sun King of France but couldn't do it because they were stuck in a small Nordic backwater? Like this: http://www.frederiksborgmuseet.dk/default.asp?obj=norm&show=1&parent=892&objID=892
There are some decorative arts, some architecture, a nice chapel and that sort of stuff. It's not super central, however, and probably a half day to a day trip, so it might not be practical.
As a wargamer, I'd recommend this museum however, which is basically a big collection of swords, armour, cannons, uniforms and other things related to war: http://www.thm.dk/info/eng.htm - it's pretty central too.
There's also the naval museum, where you are sure to find bits about Denmark getting manhandled in the Battle of Copenhagen, something which should warm your cold cold heart: http://www.orlogsmuseet.dk/info/eng.htm
Ed is a pussy. What's so dangerous about meeting your fellow Languishians? Are you afraid we will find out what a fucking lame ass 400 lb loser you are? We already know you ride a wheelchair FFS.

If you like modern art (and I don't) you might want to treck to Louisiana, which apparently is pretty good for that sort of thing.
You'll probably want to avoid the National Museum as it's primarily about stone age junk and some bits about vikings (though it does have a couple of bog mummies which are kind of cool).
There's the Viking Ship museum in Roskilde which is cool if you want to look at some viking ships. Less cool if viking ships do not interest you.
... as for the locals, they probably won't bother you unless you address them first so it could be safe to venture outside. Denmark's pretty big on people minding their own damn business (on the streets, when it comes to politics and government, much less so but that won't impact you much other than the odd environmental surcharge).

But then at the naval museum he would also get to see the big set piece tableaus of the Battle at Køge Bugt ;)
If historic museums are the thing then I'd take rosenborg over Frederiksborg. Rosenborg was Chr. IV's sumemr castle, originally outside the walls, it is kept more or less as the kngs held it, with rooms from most eras from renesaince to a 150 years ago or so. IITC they have on purpose NOT installed elctricity so come in daylight :) But its been a while since I was there.
Rosenborg also has the crown jewels.
Beyond the naval museum they also havea beached mini sub "Sælen" and a 60-70 Danish Frig as a mueseum ship.
IF you have time yu can go to Rosklide and see the Vikingship museum. They salvaged a number of hulls of the fjord and tried to rebuild several of them, the most famous being the sea stallion, a 60 man warship :)

The national museum has changed quite a bit since you lived here :)
If it isn't modern art, but more classical stuff then "Statens Museum for Kunst" and "Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket" are good, if design is yuor thing then "Kunst og Industrimuseet" or "Danish Design Centre" would be good.

I was there for a party just last week actualy and I spent my Bachelor party in SA (so, you know, nobody would recognize us...)
I am too cheap usually to get a hotel for a place such a short trip from my house. Being able to sleep in my own bead is worth a 1.5 hour trip in the evening.

I don't approve of commutes that are longer than a 20-minute walk.
My commute consists of a 40 minute bus ride. I sleep.

In my typical fashion, I got through the entire painful process (to the point where I had a slot at Quantico) but turned down the job at the last minute because I had gotten a higher-paying job that didn't require me to relocate.
Worst part of the process was having to go through a second polygraph session because they didn't believe my responses to past drug use & having been contacted by another country's intelligence service :D
Some days I wish I had taken the job, other days I'm glad I didn't :mellow:

Ed isn't exactly a young man. Moreover, if he can survive living in Ohio, where armed blacks gangs roam the streets in search of whites to murder, some backwoods camp full of second-rate Scandinavians isn't going to pose much of a problem. And the spoken English in Copenhagen will probably be superior to Ohio, allowing for an ease of communication that should be most refreshing.
One possible danger: MB might be a Mormon (his taking of a child bride suggests this). He might get mixed up with a local child and marry her too, becoming one of those polygamous Mormon guys that the governments loves to shoot at.

Reminds me of my first night in Italy. We stayed in some tiny little town just across the border from Austria. We stayed in a small hotel, maybe a couple dozen rooms, with a small bar that had a bunch of old men playing cards (apparently the town oompa band relaxing after practice) and a few other locals. The hotel manager (who spoke very good english) was surprised to see two Canadians, and invited me to stay for a beer on the house. We got to talking, I told him where I was from, and it turned out he (before taking over the family hotel) had worked on cruise ships, had done the Alaska cruises a number of times, and damn well knew where Yukon was. We wound up having several beer until the (and after) the bar closed.
Good times... :cool:
