I will have a month. Not looking to spend the world, but equally I need a good time too.
I'd also like to know about any common courtesies, practices, tipping in bars, where to buy some warm clothes (I'm in tokyo ya see), and where best to get a club with some decent progressive house music and get my thang on!
Thanks in advance people...

I'm here now...
Wow, it is not much cheaper than Tokyo, and much colder too.
The buildings posses much more character than Japan, and the amount of people who speak English is just wonderful!
Been out shopping for clothes, wow, not cheap again, but no choice (can you imagine short-sleeve shirts here), and no coat at all, friends brother donated one, sim card free (100k, but get 100k of calling credit), parking is a pain, they drive on the wrong side of the road, Christahavn is crazy, the place reminds one of Holland to some extent.....
But the women are beautiful....!
I wonder how many I can have! He he...

Welcome to Denmark!
There's lots to see in Copenhagen, depending on what your preferences are, I'd recommend that you go see some of the many museums and castles in the city.
Try this site for inspiration:

In Denmark you are not required to tip in restaurants, bars etc., but it is common to leave a tip if you thought you've been treated well.
In the main shopping streets ("Strøget" and "Købmagergade") you'll find lots of clothes-shops; these are often quite expensive, though, so you might want to try shops a little further from the city center. There are two big shopping-malls, where you should be able to find both cheap and expensive clothes; these malls are called "Field's" and "Fisketorvet".
I hope you'll have a great time in Copenhagen.

Hi, I think Idoh about covered it but I just want to add that the National Museum here is really excellent. I like it better then the one in London and it is free. If you just want reasonably priced clothes then H&M is a good store. There are several outlets. Oh and as a foreigner myself (Canadian) I was shocked how much people drink here. I mean they really mix there alcohol. Tivoli is pretty fun and it is open over Christmas. It's an amusement park if you don't know.
One thing I hate to say because Copenhagen is a nice city and Denmark is a nice country but people don't seem that fond of foreigners here in general. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people are really nice but I have never found quite so much general dislike, or maybe just distrust of foreigners. It isn't a big deal but it isn't something I have noticed in any other country I have lived in.
Have a good time though.

The noble prize isn't specifically giving out for what somebody have finished.Do you study on that first . i think of president Obama transforming into the 1st ever black guy to win the presidency is in it self an astounding accomplishment ,this replaced into very inspirational for thousands and thousands worldwide to work out him win . President Obama have experience substitute the political climate with our allies and enemies worldwide , yet we understand why the individuals Taliban/GOP would desire to down play those accomplishments , this whilst they have been cheering the misplaced of this u . s . bid to host the 2016 Olympics as a manner of the international rejecting president Obama . yet in certainty the international have only rejected the Bush /GOP for his or her years of cowboy international kin ,

Toasts in Denmark can be quite formal. Never toast your host or anyone senior to you in rank or age until he or she has toasted you first. Never taste your drink until the host has said the traditional toasting word, Skoal.
A traditional Danish drink, aquavit (literally, "water of life"), is quite potent. Be forewarned, as Danes often like to share this alcoholic beverage with their guests.

you dont need to típ in bars - but its always nice.
say "TAK" sound like "Tark" - it means "thanks" or say "Mange tak" thank you very much. "god dag" = good day. "farvel" = goodbye. but we all speak english here so its no problem :-)
warm clothes can be bought on the main street "strøget" sounds like "stroyeht" - there are many shops here. also go into "Illum" or "magasin" which are shopping malls
One great famous club is "Nasa", "Pan Bar" (gay and straight bar), "Ekstra" is on the main street and also fun!
happy to have you here in denmark :-) enjoy
