In March, 2013, I had the chance to join the Copenhagen Speech Event in Denmark. This was actually a pair of conferences, SJUSK 2013 and ExAPP 2013 in succession. I was a great trip, though extremely cold: When visiting the little mermaid statue, I took off my gloves for one minute to take a photo, but couldn't feel them again for nearly half an hour.
