the Christiana Escapade

I went out with Matthias and Luca for a little Copenhagen exploration in the afternoon cos I was a little bored. We wanted to check out Christiana, a free town notorious for its rampant drug abusers and yup all the vices I guess. Below are more pictures of the very picturesque and modern Copenhagen...



We were not allowed to take pictures inside, or at least that's what Matthias warned me so I just took one at the entrance. Basically as you can see from the pictures below, Christiana is a ghetto area, very unlike Copenhagen although they are just like a km away from each other. There are graffitis all over the place, rundown places, and dogs running around like you would see in Melaka. There were people crowded around bonfires, papers were flying around with the aid of the wind, and people wearing hoods staring at me the Chinese foreigner wearing nice shoes and an expensive jacket. Of course I freaked out haha.

And then there were drugs like in the shape of blue and green plasticines, displayed all over the table like the flea market. It was pretty scary. My Italian friend Luca didn't like the place either. But I guess you have to see it once in your life. Not stepping in there again.


And I took a quick snap illegally. Wait there's no law in Christiana. Paradox.
