Copenhagen is more like LA than I ever thought possible. First of all, it's the only city here that I've seen so far that has 7-11s. Gross, right? And ugly modern buildings, and no attitude at all... so I'm cutting out early.

I was going to go to a small Swedish town with some people I met in the hostel, but we got separated. So I'm heading to Arhus with a sleeping bag I just picked up, and if I can't find a hostel there's a campground there. We'll see how it goes.

I had the amazing luck last night to find out about a Dance for Peace event at Christiania last night. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania It wasn't really as mind-blowing as I expected, but I'm still amazed that I found out about it and was able to attend. I was going to go look around there today anyway, but the fact that I actually got to participate in something there instead of being a tourist made it much, much better. The place is fantastic -- covered in graffiti murals from top to bottom, beautiful houses... as soon as I stepped through the gates it felt like I was home. (And yes John, I know this is giving you a conniption fit. Sorry.) But after that the rest of Copenhagen feels pretty dull, so I'm off to see what else there is to be seen. Wish me luck!
