On The Pissoiur

It's that time of year, over the course of 4 nights, a street party of extreme proportions takes place in four districts around Copenhagen. Tonight it's our turn. Around 250,000 people are in my street and some of the surrounding streets. Luckily we live at the very end of the 2½km boulevard but it ain't quiet. This is a bit of the crowd at one of the twenty or so stages that I saw .....there were more. If you're under 25 it's paradise, attracting party tourists from around the world and a certain type of herb lover.

It is not fun for locals, most of whom holiday or at least vacate their homes this week. The aftermath is what Woodstock would have looked like if held in a city. And I'll have to cycle through it, holding my breath, to get to work tomorrow. The extra was taken at 8pm, this goes on until around 2am.
