First thing today was to go to DR, the national TV and radio network for a field study with my Lost in Translation class. We went to see how the subtitle department works. It sounds exciting but was actually pretty mundane, especially since our tour guide was a 65 year old who is an 'expert' and 'only still working here because they can't find anyone else better than me.' At least the building was cool.
I've been wanting to go to Chrstiania for a while and it was well worth the wait. It's a freetown, basically a commune of hippies who wanted to live away from the modern materialistic society and set up their own way of life. They are famous for openly selling pot but that stopped in 2004 after the police raided it.
The graffiti there is actually art, not just random letterings or gang symbols.
We went to a famous restaurant that only serves one dish per day, and it's all vegetarian. It turned out to be one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, it was a homecooked tomato curry with some sort of fried tofu/chickpea 'meat.'
Unfortunately, we had to return to the European Union.

You got the photos we were not allowed to take when we visited. I will never forget seeing all those hippies and their way of life.
that curry looks delicious!!! probably not as good as my mom's.
So now you're probably a vegetarian, huh? Just one meal a day? Right before you go to sleep? So all you do is sleep and digest? Brilliant.
