Springtime in Copenhagen

Springtime in Copenhagen

1. Copenhagen had changed a lot since it has gotten warm, there are a lot more people out and a lot more tourists but I still see more Danes in the major places than tourists (this isn’t the case in other cities).
2. The Danes seem a lot more outgoing now that it is warm out and there are tons of people hanging out in squares and parks.
3. Fashion – tights with loose, blousy shirts, gladiator shoes and diaper capris (capris that are tight at the knee and whose crotch has been lowered about a foot, so it basically looks like you are wearing an oversized diaper or like you just have a saggy crotch).
4. Lots of ice creams everywhere! But very expensive and every place has the same flavor selection.
5. I have realized that I don’t like walking around the residential areas of Copenhagen because most of the buildings are brick and I do not really like brick buildings 0 I think they give a city a dirtier, more industrial look.
6. A lot more going on in Vesterbro than either Norrebro or Osterbro (where I like). I like the feel of Vesterbro (a working class area that is becoming more upscale).
7. City is very different with the sun out and everything is much prettier. I feel as if I have to retake all of my pictures with a blue sky instead of the grey winter skies.
