And it so happens my younger brother received a research position there and I took the opportunity to travel to Copenhagen to visit him over the weekend. I travelled by rail and the journey was exciting (and slightly exhausting) as I was bringing a folding bike with me as a gift to my brother. Partly due to the fact that the bike has been parking in the basement for some time, and Linda and I thought that it would be of better use with my brother in Copenhagen.
And the local saying goes: Life starts with the saddle of a bicycle in Copenhagen.
My brother is currently putting up with a research colleague/personal friend in Copenhagen. I met him a couple years ago in Malmö when we were in the Bersih rally in 2013, and unfortunately we have not been in touch ever since. The interesting turn-of-event was he eventually became my brother's academic mentor a few years back which rekindled our contact :)
I spent the night at their wonderful place, admired their nice modern home decoration, enjoyed some very delicious carrot cake by his wife, and above all, I am grateful for the family's hospitality.
The visit to DTU exceeded my expectation. The area was calm, peaceful and I could immediately feel the conducive atmosphere for academic research. And it was a delight to see my brother beaming from ear to ear introducing me to his faculty and office :)
Let me share some pictures of the trip :)
