Aarzemnieki walked the Eurovision Fan Mile

Yesterday was a busy day for Team Cake To Bake. They had arranged two visits to two of the most famous bakeries in Copenhagen, and afterwards they went for a stroll on the fan mile on Copenhagen's famous shopping street.

Even though that it was in the middle of the rush hour Aarzemnieki got the opportunity to meet the Danes first hand. For every stop they made they made sure to take their time to meet each and everyone properly, to share thoughts and of course to take pictures.

If I was a cake, which cake would I be and why?
At the moment it's cake cake cake, all the time! So it's hard to answer. Right now I will say... a space cake!

When I'm not standing on a Eurovision stage, I'm….?
Just a man like everyone in the street. When I'm wearing my hat people recognises me in the street, but when I take it off I'm just ordinary.

A special/funny/weird/awkward musical moment I've had:
Once in school my teacher wanted me to take part in a music contest, but I didn't want to, but then I was told I couldn't finish the class if I didn't. I didn't practise a lot for that, so, when I was playing I suddenly forgot what I should play, and just started improvising for 7 minutes or something. Afterwards my teacher left without saying anything to me! But then the next day they told me I got 3rd place! That was funny and weird, but not sure I deserved the prize.

A person I would like to meet:
I don't have a special or famous person I'd like to meet. I like ordinary people who don't pretend to be something they aren't.

Something I would never do:
I would never say "never".

My favourite Eurovision song:
I don't know. There are many songs, but I can't choose one.
(Bonus info: Jöran told us Guntis really likes to play the saxophone part in "Der står et billede af dig på mit bord").
