COPENHAGEN is wet

The internet blows here, the city is continuously changing its mind on whether it wants to be sunny or atleast dry or rainy and shitty. Eric and I have been caught in its mood swings twice in one day...

Other then weather concerns, the city aint to bad. People seem pretty nice, and the hostel we are staying at is huge.. prolly the biggest hostel I have ever seen. Its 18 stories and close to 6 beds per room, 13 to 14 rooms per floor. Has a large cafeteria and bar. seems like a new renovation or something.

out in the city, prolly the most interesting part of the city is christiania. kinda hard to explain, but say the US miltary closed the marines barracks in DC, but before they tore down the buildings, about 500 hippies moved in, declared it a free state, painted everything in pschodelic colors adn designs and mayde drugs legal. got it? now imagine the gov't just shrugs it's shoulders and looks the other way. well that's what happened in 1971 in copenhagen. nowadays though, the place looks like the scene in bratislava when they first arrive...a dog is gnawing on a human hand, an old lady is throwing human feces out teh window..basically a little unsettling.

outside of that, there are a lot of spiraling towers, fountains and monuments of old kings. BORING... then of course, there is teh carlsberg brewery, which, according to their own slogan, is "probably the best lager in the world" just probably. i know. weak. good beer though. will check in soon when we get dry and move our personal party bus to germany..
