Name 2 good movies past and present: Past- Seven. Present- The Recruit.
Favorite things about Copenhagen?: I like that it's so green and so clean and that you're able to ride your bicycle everywhere in Copenhagen. The buildings are not that tall so you don't feel that surrounded all the time- it's a very open city.
