Exploring

CPH
61 degrees, sunny with rain

Today's destination: Christiania

Christiania is the infamous free state in the middle of copenhagen.   Denmark is already a liberal place with socialism and welfare up to its allegorical ears.  But, it gets better and by better I mean more liberal and by more liberal I mean lawless.  Literally lawless.  In Christiania anything and just about everything goes.

Right off the bat you know you are in a place unto itself.  The streets aren't paved b/c no cars are allowed, there are wild dogs running around, the houses aren't as well maintained, and instead of flowers growing in the window boxes of said houses there are marijuana plants.  I would have liked to take pictures of all these things but ironically enough cameras are not allowed.

I went with three other girls from DIS and to say that we stuck out would be a gross understatement.  After more than a few stares and odd looks we decided to head back towards civilization.

On the way out we passed a few guys putting graffiti up on a wall.  I've got to give them credit because this graffiti is way cooler than any I've ever seen in the states.

And that's all I have to say about that.
