The corner shop

The corner shop or kiosk is one of the quaint aspects of living in Copenhagen. These sell anything from vegetables to essential household items and is, in a sense, protected by law as most big shops are only allowed to be open for business a limited number of Sundays a year , allowing the small shop owners a chance to survive. This aspect of daily life is both surprising and frustrating to expats who live in the city. This shop is on Vesterbrogade. -RS

Home little home


Near yesterdays graffiti door is this piece of "authorized" (I think) drawing inside a gateway. This kind of decoration seems to deter other more "free-spirited" individuals from making their own.

Number 90

I've shown you some nice doors and ways to show which number you've reached on the street. This one I found on Vesterbrogade in an area of the city that until recently wasn't somewhere to bring you're mother-in-law from the countryside. Now much of the area has been renovated, but as can be seen on this photo there's still room for improvement.
