Big city travel in the back yard

Another thing I thought about doing was planning a week or two of big city tourist experience in Copenhagen for the students at AFUK.

Inspiration
As far as I'm concerned, the students around here don't really have that much money for travelling in the summer break, so it would be fantastic to arrange some "back yard travelling" - the school is only five-10 minutes by bus away from the very centre of Copenhagen. I love all of the aspects of travelling myself, and usually don't experience Copenhagen as a tourist, although it's a bundle of fun.

Why?
Pretty much all of the above. Since there aren't too much money to pay for the fare and lodging, and pehaps not the experiences, either, it might be something to do.

What?
To start out with, it seems a bit difficult to collect everybody to do everything at once, so my plan is to make a booklet, and maybe even to have it all printed in the yearbook. I think I'll take pictures for it myself. I made a movie about Copenhagen with another girl last year, and one of the tools we had was asking people about two things we absolutely HAD to experience in Copenhagen. I still have the notes at home. Another thing I was thinking to ask about is what country people would like to go to, and see if it's possible to find a shop, a restaurant, a happening, that could fit that country.

And how does this connect to the circus theme?
It doesn't, really. I just thought it would be a really nice thing to do. And the booklet could be for sale at the Festivitas. It would be automatically if it is in the yearbook. The only circus troups I know the tourplan of are in the area in April, September, and the Roskilde Festival. (but I'll check up on it.)

And the mobility?
Both the yearbook and the booklet can be carried in a bag all over town (or the World, actually, but wouldn't it be more convenient to leave it at home if you're not able to use it?)
