København / Copenhagen September 2013!

In the end of September the classes at the Art and crafts course at the University of Agder went on a study-trip to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

I travelled together with a beautiful girl named Marte, who I go to uni with. Ever since the first day we met in class we have been inseparable. We stayed at a hostel right in the outskirts of the city centre together, where we spent our nights sitting and talking in the common room, bonding over some good candy and sodas! It was so great to get to know her some more! And I'm looking forward to get to know her even more during the next few years together throughout the bachelor program!

We had some free time the first night we were there and we went in to the part of the city were the law is not that strongly followed so to say.. Christiania is a place where cameras are not allowed and the art of graffiti is widely used to decorate the streets. There are approximately 900 people living there and many more visit the place daily.
The streets in there reminded me of the streets of Ngaoudéré, with stands and shops looking out into the gravelled streets and fires crackling in big barrels to warm the visitors in the small cafés and restaurants.

The trip lasted 5 days and we were all obliged to attend. However the trip was quite fun! And we got to see a lot of cool sculptures, paintings, performance pieces and alternative art there.
We visited several museums and there we got to see sculptures,pictures and paintings done by several well known artists like Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Edvard Munch!
