Postkasse, Denmark

Danish red mailbox

26 Sept 2014 | From Maria of Denmark

OFFICIAL POSTCROSSING

I've received two postcards from two Marias today. One if from Russia, and this one is from Maria of Denmark. She sent me a postcard of a red mailbox typically found in the doors or walls of houses in Denmark. 'Postkasse' is Danish for mailbox. These postkasse are conveniently located in houses and are beautifully painted with a striking red color. Typically they are made of steel to resist wear and damage and decorated with door trim and aged-brass knob.

Maria likened the mailbox to a person in sense that you do not know what's inside of them. It is all a secret. You only get to know what's inside when you open it, and more often than not, you might be surprised with what you'll find inside.

Danish Lunch

Slotskælderen hos Gitte Kik

2 Jun 2014 | From Edna of the Philippines

If you are looking for a classic, Danish smørrebrød with herring, snaps, eggs and shrimp, Slotskælderen is the place to go. Slotskælderen is a popular place to eat lunch. Here they serve cold as well as hot dishes - and of course snaps en masse.

A great restaurant for smørrebrød that could celebrate 100 years of age in 2010 is Slotskælderen hos Gitte Kik, across from the Danish parliament building. Needless to say, this is popular with Danish politicians. The restaurant is originally from 1910 and still has an authentic atmosphere.
