Some more day 6 - Copenhagen

Last night while we were walking around during cultural evening, we found a couple of neat things that I thought should be written about. On one street we were invited to watch a theatre show. We walked into this tent and sat down at the back. I was a little reluctant to watch, but Z insisted we stay. We were quite curious to find out what the show was about and whether we'd understand it. They had a poster up displaying how pollution has a negative effect on the environment, so we thought it would have something to do about that. The show started and the narrator welcomed everyone in English and we thought cool, it's going to be in English. Well the welcome was all that was in English and it quickly changed to Danish. Though we did understand sometimes when the narrator would literally say "blah, blah. blah" as part of his script. It was rather comical. We figured the story line out as a Danish version of Little Red Riding Hood. Even though we didn't understand a word they said, the performance was good and the actors did a great job.

The other neat thing we saw was happening outside the hotel in front of city hall. There was a contest going on for people to stack what looked like milk cartons on top of each other as high as they could go before it toppled over. The catch here though was that the person would be sitting on top of this tower they were building. The one person we watched had at least 20 stacked before they toppled. It was quite high and as a precaution the people were attached with a cable to a crane so they wouldn't fall and hurt themselves. We found out later that tickets could be purchased to take part in this cultural night that that a lot of the museums and some government offices, like city hall, were open late with free admission. Apparently public transport was free too. People were still out and about well after midnight taking in a fun filled evening in Copenhagen.
