so here i am in copenhagen. not the best weather in the world but a really cool city nonetheless. lots of bicycles, nice buildings, tons of cool little shops etc... what' not pictured is christiana, which is this crazy little community in the city where in the 70's a bunch of hippies started living in these old military buildings. now it's the "free town of christiana." it claims to be completely autonomus from the eu and they've even got their own stamps (though you can only use them in christiana). lots of painted signs and graffiti (several telling you it's not cool to take pictures there) and workshops/ studios. strange place for sure. apparently there's a movement among the conservatives to "normalize" the area.... one cafe i stopped in advertised that they have had over 6000 armed police inspections, claiming to be the "safest cafe in the world."

Very cool, Ty. Have you gone to pay homage to Hans Christian Anderson yet, by visiting the Little Mermaid and rubbing off some of her verdigris?
And, I say, take the darned pictures, anyway!
