A how-to guide for a (slightly illegal) Danish adventure

1) Make it clear that you are dressed for warmth, not style.  Suggested attire includes snow boots, rubber ducky mittens, and a goofy hat.

2) Board the Schleswig-Holstein Express to Flensburg, Germany's northernmost city.

3) Enjoy the scenery.

4) Be resourceful/unethical by grabbing a massive wad of toilet paper from the train bathroom, in light of having forgotten to bring tissues.

5) Arrive in Flensburg and pay homage to mysterious giant head.

6) Fluster some Danes by posing a question in German.

7) Be overly excited about the cuteness of the city.

8) Pay obligatory visit to really old German church.

9) Confirm that the church is, in fact, really old.

10) Ponder the story behind this:

11) Wish you could live in a magenta house.

12) Take a bus but get off too early and, as a result, take a very long and cold, but very beautiful, walk.

13) Sneak up on a bird to take its picture.

14) Discover the foot-bridge to Denmark!

15) Celebrate your first ever visit to Scandanavia.

16) Worry that a border guard is in the little house, waiting to apprehend you.

17) Spend 5 minutes searching for a stick.

18) Spend 5 minutes using said stick to scrape the ice and snow off of this sign, as proof of where you are.

19) Stand in awe.

20) Lose feeling in your hands by taking too many pictures of icy water.

21) Decide that you are Scandinavian at heart.

22) Have entirely too much fun jumping on the ice.

24) Return to the bridge and wonder what country you're in.

25) Ponder the nationality of these birds.

26) Sigh with relief that you made it back into Germany without being discovered.

Phew!
