Steam

I went for a walk this morning and this is the sight that met me outside my door. It looks pretty crazy, but it isn't that bad. A burst water main with 300 degrees hot water lets out the steam.

A dream

"I have a dream to be an environmentalist. An environmentalist tries to save our planet."

That's what it says on this globe at Nørreport Station. Different kinds of them are popping up around the city. I guess it as a preparetion for the UN Climate Summit (COP15) in Copenhagen in December.

I want to be an environmentalist as well and try to save our planet.

Election day

Yesterday we went to the polling stations again. We did it earlier this year when voting for the EU Parliament. This time it was the elction for the regional councils.

The turnout was 65,8 % - the lowest in 35 years. Some argue that it is because of the H1N1 virus. No matter what then it is not impressing.

Elephants

These elephants are part of the decoration of Carlsberg Breweries. They are national heritage. Note the swastika sitting on the side of them. Carlsberg actually used this as one of their trademarks until 1945, when it became too infected Nazi associations.

The Olsen Gang

Nørrebro Bryghus (Nørrebro Brewery) is one of the first Danish micro breweries. It opened six years agao and they brew some nice beers. Their food isn't bad either.

Car share

One of the cool things about car share is that you can always find a parking spot. Free parking at any spot all over the city and special slots allocated to only shared cars. That's great!
