“Here’s a piece I wrote for Vice about Copenhagen, Denmark. I love Danes!”
Copenhagen, Denmark
I’m moving to Copenhagen!
I just visited a friend there. She lives on Istedgrade, halfway between the junkie church and Kebabistan. Really. The kebab place is called Kebabistan. You can’t miss either of those landmarks. And that’s where you’ll find me: tiptoeing around used needles and broken bottles.
Because Copenhagen has it all. Firstly, everyone speaks English. It’s like a game for them, they love that shit. Just throw out some slang and some curse words—i.e. “That’s the biggest pile of bullshit I’ve ever heard.”—and you’ll be the life of the party.

They take it like champs and give it even harder. For fuck’s sake, they open beer bottles with their teeth with an ease that silently mocks you.
But even if you can’t get laid—and if you can’t get laid in Copenhagen you might as well be a eunuch—there’s hardcore porno on TV every night. Basic cable. And I don’t mean Cinemax dry-humping, I’m talking about raw, dirty double penetration. Every night. In your living room…

NON-GONOCOCCAL URETHRITIS: DON’T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!
