During my stay in Denmark, one thing that trapped my heart isn't garden,
river or mermaid,
but instead CHRISTIANIA. 'Tis not a person, but a
place I label it "fairytales land",
as suggested by this wall painting
guarding the entrant of this magical land.
Btw, pictures in Christiania
are strictly not allowed. |

[Left Pic] is the entrant to Christiania. Entering this FREETOWN is like
going into LALA land, an abrupt change of scene from the rest of the
city! Initially I thought Christiania will just be another European
garden, never would I imagine it is a magical land thru the magic of
Happy Pizza/Cake (ref [right pic]). It is a hippy's heaven: beautiful
graffiti, wall paintings, Jamaica drummers, cafes, Pizza/Cake.
Everything I would least imagine in the central part of beautiful
Copenhagen. A truly unexpected scene!!! As a matter of fact, the place
is so foreign to me and due to security matter, I left in just 5
minutes. But the next day I went back there for hours and I saw things
in a whole new different perspective. |
Christiania is a commune developed by hippies in 1971 based on core
values of Freedom and Creativity. The culture remains so as people
inside there are just relax and simply enjoying their lives. In reality,
why do we need to work that hard, strive for this and that. If you
choose so, life can be actually easy. |
I must say that I am happy to see Christiania becoz there are evidences that
hippies have grown. They make money and build unique houses around the area.
Scenic! Beside the lake. They love the idea of freedom while able to blend into the business
world to take on responsibilities and challenges. |

The famous Little Mermaid of Copenhagen! It's a life size statue which
draws
millions of visitors every year! In 2010, for 100 years history, she will leave
her home,
first ever, to travel Shanghai for the World Expo! |

This more than 300 y.o. Hyhavn Canal is one of the most picturesque

Exhibition about Kisses,
Sweethearts and Love
You can experience love and falling in love in so many ways. It can be
like having butterflies in your tummy and your heart throbbing. Or
floating on a pink cloud and writing love letters. It can also be
heart-break and getting crossed in love.
There are other forms of love, like family, siblings, friends, pets and even
on object.
All this is what this exhibition in the Young People's Museum of
Art is about.
