Embassy of Denmark

At the very tip of Whitehaven Street, directly across the street from — no-​wait– I’d better not divulge… Anyway, this embassy is in a VERY nice neighborhood with excellent security. The best.
On Embassy Open House Day, they welcomed us weary travelers with open arms. That is to say they also had good security. Upon entering, and once through security, they gave tickets for timed entry into the embassy. I got my ticket, which was stamped for an hour later, and I headed on to the outdoor entertainment.
First attraction was a Danish-​bicycle-​license-​earning-​test. Yes, this is meant for children. But there were none around, so the adults got in line. Why? you ask. Because it entered you to win a free bicycle, and because as I said, there were no children around. That said, it was a riot watching grown adults riding bikes that were too small for them trying to navigate the tiny obstacle course.
Next up, a strange photography opportunity that was to become part of an advertising campaign for Danish tourism, I guess… You get your photo taken professionally as you stand behind a bicycle holding a sign of your choosing, printed with something about how great bicycle riding is…
I’m starting to get the impression that the Danes really enjoy bicycles.
Participation in the above enters you to win a trip to Denmark, I think…
Then there were bake-​sale type items and books for sale. Having completed the outdoor activities, I looked at the time and realized that I didn’t want to wait around for the interior embassy tour when I had to hit so many other embassies before 4pm… So I returned my ticket at the exit and was on my way.
