The parade you guys talked about, is actually the changing of the guards. They’re marching from their barracks in Gothersgade en route to Amalienborg, where they will relieve the guards being on guard duty the past 24 hours.
1:28 Different fun facts. If you look at the right chimney w/smoke it are from the cleanest emission power plant in the world. Its vapour basically are steam. It are so clean that the roof of the building itself have been turned into a all year round skiing hill just as you can climb the vertical wall with professional climber gear present. Also note some of our many windmills. The newly formed Danish government´s first announcement were that Denmark unilaterally, as only Western democracy in the world, would make Denmark CO2 neutral by 2045, long before the demands in the Paris climate agreement. A few months ago Denmark together with Belgium/Netherlands/Germany agreed and signed the worlds largest transition project away from fossil fuels in the world BY FAR. It will transition 230 million high energy using Europeans in just 12 years. Will be achieved by placing off shore mega windmills in the North Sea.That are half of Europe's population in one single deal. On top, inside same project the worlds largest BY FAR hydrogen production will take place on 3 artificial energy islands where the mill energy will be transported via. A small amount of the hydrogen will be set aside to ensure unbroken emission free energy when the wind does not blow sufficiently to meet demand. Remember that hydrogen are made of electricity and water and when burned it only emits.......wait for it.......water! Today, at the end of 2022, we already on fairly good wind days produce 120% of Denmark´s electricity needs by windmills. Denmark everyday proves you can transition and decouple emissions from production/economic growth. There are NOTHING preventing large coastal nations like US/UK/Canada/Australia from making a copy/paste of our new project in the North Sea and themselves become CO2 neutral fast. WE are the proof you would laugh all the way to the bank while doing it. Please consider why it are not happening in your nations. The atmosphere really need us all to transition.
Mike! That is all so cool, thanks for sharing that, the world really needs this. Copenhill was on our list but we didn't make it this time, perhaps next time we can go back and I would love to learn more about all the sustainable methods Denmark has been working on. Go Denmark!
@@colinandmeg (blushing slightly) Thank you. Since you write that so kindly I will add x-tra x-tra bonus info. I have personally dived around the foundations of one of our older off shore windmill parks (takes a special permission) and the cool thing are that they improve aquatic life greatly and function as protected nurseries for the bottom of the aquatic food chain. First mussels and seaweed are attracted. Mussels eat CO2 and seaweed store it. That again provide protection and food for micro biologic life and small fish. It are estimated that over 20% of the bottom of the aquatic foodchain (that are the precondition for the higher parts have something to eat) are connected to global coral reefs. As our waters become warmer the coral reefs increasingly experience bleaching events eventually killing the corals. A few years after that they disintegrate and become chalkpowder that in itself have negative effect because that powder can kill other corals, a really bad negative cycle. If 20% of a food chain are taken out in a few decades it might get the entire food chain to collapse. If all coastal nations, beside those very close to the equator, utilised their potential to transition via off shore windmills as centralised electricity and green fuel providers, it then also could have a very positive effect on the aquatic life, partly or fully compensate for the loss of coral reefs. In EU alone approx 40% of railroads are not electrified today but have diesel or diesel electric locomotives. Most EU governments today have planned HUGE billion investments in electrifying these rails to bring down their emissions as part of their commitment to the Paris agreement. IF they instead invested in the concept of off shore windmills and hydrogen they simply could use hydrogen locomotives and problem could be solved for a fraction of the cost fast. The lobby of the fossil fuel industry are very strong and I time after time realise that many populations around the world are completely in the dark over the reality we have proven works and saves money on top. As Denmark have shown you with your own eyes, it are not a matter of going back to the stone age when you transition, on the contrary. It just are a matter of seeing holistic on the transition. There are SO many savings and benefits that they superseed the negatives. NOT sending our hard currencies to journalist/politician killing dictators like POOtin, Xi or Bin Salman also means stopping financing their aggression's maybe thus also preventing future wars. Transitioning are an investment and not a cost. The 4 stroke direct injection car engine have been invented and works great. Hydrogen train/truck/ship engine exists so does the hydrogen jet engine. The longer we all collectively do not get our atmospheric carbon content back to 220 PPM where it belongs the longer we will experience an increase in human suffering and economic taxpayer burdening costs from the wilder weather effects we already increasingly are seeing. We are very open about how we do and urge all to simply copy/paste away, from what we have proven works, both practically and economically.
Fun fact: Christian IV, the King that had Rundetårn built, wanted the ramp so he could drive his royal carriage to the top and not be bothered by something as plebian as walking. Royalty had the funniest ideas back in the day
@Colin and Meg unfortunately just a myth 😃. Getting equipment up and down to the observatory and books up and down to the library was made easier by having horse-drawn carts. So, still the ramp was made for an equestrian reason.
@@scar445 I think Denmark is already famous enough for fairytales, with our beloved H. C. Andersen. I do not think we need bring unnecessary lies to the table. Telling the myth is fine when declared as such.
Hey everyone! Thanks for watching this video, be sure to check out part three - TIVOLI! and we will also be uploading our quick stopover in the next country this week. Stay tuned!
Lol I know right, just gotta roll with it. And I think it's his Copenhagen episode that we watched so long ago that inspired this whole trip! Like every trip we do.
Fantastic vid... happy you guy's love our Capital 🙂 and yes you should visit Denmark in the summer..." best weekend you'll ever have " running joke about the weather in Denmark
@@colinandmeg well that's the joke .. you could actually visit anywhere from mid may until end sep . because we really don't have short summers , but we say we do , bc it can rain .. i personally love the late summertime from mid august all the way through september
Recently found your channel while doing travel research. Love it.! We visited Copenhagen earlier this year but still haven’t posted a video yet, probably in a month or so. Keep up the good work.
Ach, Poland can be expensive as well. But the conversion rate is great. So you don't feel it as much. It was nice chatting with you. I'll be checking out your content. Your editing was really good btw, i will definitely apply some of those techniques in my vlogs
Hi Guys . If you are still in Copenhagen,there is a very speciel parade the 17 of December at 5 in the afternoon. Its a little scarry, its all the creatures of the darkness, that meet and have a ball. They are dancing the sun back. Its at Rådhuspladsen and we walk at Strøget. Please come and see for yourself
It is not Christmas, but JUL in the Nordic countries - there is a big difference and most people of the Nordic countries take their heritage from the pre Viking history seriously - The julefrokost is in honor of Odin and the roasted "holy" pork is in honor of the Norse gods of fertility like Frej
@@colinandmeg A little curiosity is why precisely pork is "sacred" and important to the nordics then as now, it is vitamin D - in winter, time people's skin does not produce as much vitamin D due to the lack of sunlight here in the north and the Nordic people found out that they became less ill when they ate pork, especially pork liver in the winter - today we know that this properbly is the reason why pork became "holy", and the Nordic people stick to the tradition of eating a lot of "holy" pork especially during the winter and for sure around winter solstice (Jul)

So glad you noticed the use of fresh food in Denmark 🥦🍞🍅
You guys look like you're having a great time in Copenhagen 🤗
Yes! Next time we need locals to help us eat and enjoy more food!
Charlotte's comment about making clouds. 😂 kids have the best insight! Lol
Also appreciated the Phil Rossenthal shoutout!
Lol I know right, just gotta roll with it. And I think it's his Copenhagen episode that we watched so long ago that inspired this whole trip! Like every trip we do.

Hey Henrik! Why is it only a weekend?? I need to understand this joke 🤓
@@colinandmeg the joke is we have short summers 😉

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Thanks Yasin, have a great week ahead!
@@colinandmeg U too Colin, have a great week ahead. 😁
Recently found your channel while doing travel research. Love it.! We visited Copenhagen earlier this year but still haven’t posted a video yet, probably in a month or so. Keep up the good work.
Factoid: the sloping roof line of the newish power station, is in fact a dry ski slope.
Yes! We wanted to visit but didn’t have enough time, perhaps next time 🇩🇰👍🏽 thanks for watching
Wonderful video👍👍 beautiful happy Christmas morning! So incredible video🌈🌈🌈 Greetings💐💐💐🤝🤝
Woohoo! Thanks for watching, nice to see you again!
I would tune down the music a bit in the intro
Thanks for the suggestion
Wonderful! thanks for sharing 😎
Hi Luis! Thanks for watching.
glad you enjoyed our cozy city
Yes we did, thanks for watching our video, we hope to be back :)
Awesome channel guys. Love the energy! Got yourselves a new subscriber.
Oh my gosh thank you! We really appreciate the love ❤️
@@colinandmeg I usually Travel to Poland, but i need to check out the rest of Europe. How's the conversion rate from USD to Danish currency?
@@haitianotr Nice! never been there before. It's not too bad, but things in Denmark are expensive!
Ach, Poland can be expensive as well. But the conversion rate is great. So you don't feel it as much.
It was nice chatting with you. I'll be checking out your content. Your editing was really good btw, i will definitely apply some of those techniques in my vlogs

Nice cliff hanger 😁

Fried onions are the best. A hotdog is just not the same without them

Wow that is so interesting, is there a name for this parade?? We have left sadly, but can’t wait to be back! Also, thanks for watching our video ❤️
The name is Julebukken vender tilbage - the return of the Christmas Goat. You can find it here on RUclips by its danish titel
@@evamayakornstad2576 Thanks for sharing!
thanks for that info. :)
