I may have missed this, and if so, apologies, but... Is there a recommended mode of transport from the Copenhagen airport to the University and conference site? Do the convention hotels run shuttles? Is there a shuttle company? Or do we just have to take a taxi? -- Mark D.

I've not heard anything, but depending on where your hotel is, the metro comes pretty close to itu. my hotel is the cabinn.city approximately a 20 minute walk away so that's what i'll do. There is a map of the recommended hotels on the website. http://conferences.aoir.org/CphMap-hotels.jpg On Oct 7, 2008, at 12:00 PM, Mark D. Johns wrote:

Hi all, We are just about the update the conference site with this information and to send out a mail to all registrants with various information regarding transport etc in Cph - you will get it tomorrow DK time! - We dont run shuttle busses, it's been a conscious choice in order to keep the conference fee lower (they are quite expensive in Denmark), but all recommended hotels should be close to the Copenhagen Metro, which runs quite close to the IT University (the venue), and it's a fairly short ride from the city to the "DR Byen" metro stop where you should get off. More info to follow very shortly! best Liz Klastrup, conf chair ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark D.

Here is what I imagine is perhaps one of the idiotic conference-related questions ever, but as someone who has never been to Denmark and will be in Copenhagen next week for the conference, here goes: Is there a variety of things to eat besides seafood in Copenhagen. I'm allergic to seafood. Not just shellfish, but anything chemically equipped to live in salt water. Well, I don't know about mammals, but I am certainly allergic to fish like cod. Freshwater fish are fine. Please feel free to mock me behind my back, and to respond to me off list. Holly --- Holly Kruse Assistant Professor of Communication The University of Tulsa 800 S.

Hi Holly and all, This site might be helpful to everyone--lots of descriptions of restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. From what I read there, you should have no trouble, Holly, finding non-seafood options. And I can't mock you because the thought of life without sushi is tragic! --Or can you eat salmon? See you next week! Kim On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 2:28 PM, <holly-kruse@utulsa.edu> wrote:

Which site? Casey

Of course, this isn't going to help you if you're orthodox, but Danish pork is well known to be the best in the world. (And not just because I have some relatives who raise pigs there.) The Russians pay Danish farmers to teach them how to raise pigs. I kid you not. And one of the greatest, and cheapest, ways to enjoy that pork is by ordering pølse (sausage) at one of the many, many pølse stands you'll find throughout Copenhagen, and all of Denmark. They stick the sausage into a bun that has a hole drilled into it, after first filling the hole, if you wish, with ketchup, mustard or sometimes more special sauces. My kids would have gladly lived on nothing but this for the entire summer a year ago, and nearly did. On Oct 7, 2008, at 5:28 PM, holly-kruse@utulsa.edu wrote:

Copenhagen is not too bad, foodwise. It has a fair share of Michelin stars as well as humble shawarma bars (the new pølsevogn, which is the kind of street vendor Christian refers to above). Top of the pops in restaurants right now is Noma, http://www.noma.dk/. Noma is created on the principle of serving the best from Scandinavia (Noma refers to NOrdisk MAd, Nordic food). Noma is situated in posh Christianshavn close to the new Opera (as the birds fly; actually getting to the Opera is another matter). My own favorite is the Italian restaurant La Vecchia Signora, http://www.la-vecchia-signora.dk/content.asp?ID=135&pID=121 (the name means "the old lady" in Italian and refers to the football team Juventus from Turin). It is conveniently located in the City behind Strøget, the pedestrian street. Rumor has it that the best shawarmas are served at one of the oldest shawarma places, Shawarma Grill House at the beginning of Strøget coming from the Town Hall Square (i.e. from the South). Frederiksberggade 36 is the exact address. Visit Denmark is the official tourist information site and carries most of the info you'll need: http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/tourist/eat___drink_and_shop/restaurants. While in Copenhagen, try not to miss Glyptoteket, a kind of Louvre on a human scale. Built by beer magnate Carl Jakobsen, the founder of Carlsberg, and named Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in honor of his successful product, Glyptoteket is a wonder of late nineteenth century cosiness and world-class art - from ancient Egypt to modern Danish. Don't miss Rodin and Dega's sculpture and Gauguin's paintings from his miserable stay in Denmark before Tahiti. Glyptoteket is located next to Tivoli at the street going from the Town Hall Square to the island Amager (http://www.glyptoteket.dk/). See you in Copenhagen, Charlie
As a follow-up to Charlie's (the first!) recommendations ... If you enjoy art and museums, in addition to the Glyptoteket - there are three other museums to consider. The Nationalmuseet has a wonderful exhibit on Danish pre-history (I confess: I never knew the Stone Age could be so interesting), as well as a permanent collection that is more than worthwhile. The Statens Museum for Kunst is exceptional, in part thanks to the recent additions and innovations. It's also a pleasure to get to - if the weather is reasonable, you can get there from the city center by walking through the King's Garden (Kongens Have) and Rosenborg Garden (Rosenborg Have). But the utterly best: Den Hirschsprungske Samling (The Hirschsprung Collection), just north of the Statens Museum for Kunst, has a wonderful collection of Danish Golden Age art and the Skagen painters, including some of the most well-known paintings by P.S. Krøyer, Vilhlem Hammershøi, Anna Ancher, and others. Krøyer's "Sommeraften ved Skagens strand" / Summer evening on the beach at Skagen, in particular, is there - a favorite painting of many Danes (and a few of us non-Danes - smile). Not surprisingly, the opportunity to see the real thing provides experience and insight not available through the reproductions. (English website: <http://hirschsprung.dynamicweb.dk/Default.asp?ID=170>) But don't forget to attend IR 9.0! cheers, - c.
Ok, if we're getting all Copenhagen touristy, I will put in a plug for Rosenborg Slot, the utterly charming castle right downtown with a splendid park. For people who come from countries that don't have castles, this is a great way to spend a few hours. Maybe it was my visits there in childhood, but Rosenborg has a huge place in my heart. Catching the "water taxi" from Nyhavn is also a great cheap way to get out on the water, get a great view of the new opera house, and generally enjoy the views. And I second Charlie's recommendation of shawarma. Finding a diversity of food in Copenhagen is not hard. At all. Those who've served on exec know we spent years hoping to get this conference in Copenhagen. I'm so glad it's finally happening and look forward to seeing many of you there, Nancy
I second the Glyptotek recommendation. Worth visiting even if stripped of all the art. Grand architecture that is, as Charlie says, still somehow warm and intimate. My wife and mother tell me that the cafe is also a fabulous place to have a delicious and wonderfully civilized lunch. (I wouldn't know; I had to leave early for the Experamentarium because the kids' fascination with the Glyptotek, while real, didn't last as long as ours did.) I'd just add the suggestion that if you have the time, and are kidless, you should start on the bottom level and then work your way upward. That way, you can follow the chronology of the collection, which goes from Egyptian and Greek to Etruscan and Roman, and then from 19th through 20th century European. If you can only visit two art museums, I'd recommend Louisiana, particularly if you're into modern and cutting-edge contemporary art from around the world. Once again, the collection and exhibits are located in an absolutely gorgeous setting. The grounds are beautiful, with fascinating modern sculpture sprinkled throughout, and the cafe (with its spacious patio) looks out over the sound. Its outside Copenhagen to the north (nearly to Helsingor and its great castle), but its an easy train trip. And there's an art room for the kids. BTW, if you're doing heavy duty touring in North Zeeland (including Copenhagen, Roskilde, and Helsingor) after the conference you might want to think about getting a CPH card (24 hour and 72 hour varieties)--it gets you into lots of North Zeeland attractions for free (though not the Viking Ship Museum, Elsinore castle or the Experimentarium) and covers all bus, Metro and train travel in Northern Zeeland, which should get you darn near everywhere you're going. See the VisitCopenhagen.com site re: this. --Christian Nelson On Oct 8, 2008, at 8:31 AM, Charlie Breindahl wrote:
