I went to Helsingør yesterday, which is a city located about 50km north of Copenhagen and has a population of around 62,000. The weather was so beautiful i couldn't keep myself locked inside. I haven't been to Helsingborg yet (i wanted to go yesterday but it was too late). I'm gonna get there later on, in a week or so (or whenever we get this good weather again) then im gonna post those pics in this thread, so remember to check up!

Anyway... for now it's Helsingør, so let's get going! :)

First thing you see when you get out of the station are the ferries going towards Helsingborg:

Helsingør is one of the only cities in Denmark that actually has a high/tall landscape (in danish standard) with a nice view over part of the city:

Here's Marienlyst Castle:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y198/DLL10101/helsingor07/45.jpg

Funny thing happened here... The second after i took the following photo, a crazy man came up to me and started talking to me for 20 minutes... First he started talking about my camera, and how he used to go around taking pictures with a smart looking camera like mine, but then he ended up throwing it away because society wouldnt let him take pictures.. people in windows took their pants down and starting mooning him when he did (word by word, this is what he said (in danish of course) and somehow he ended up talking about when he was in the mental institution, how he hated taking medication, and how all the people there were only out to hurt him, and for hours and hours at a time he would lie there all alone in a room with the "jacket" on, and he kept going on and on and on... damn... after about 20 minutes i just told him i was busy and i walked away... he kept talking though... lol...

so beautiful and peaceful....

I wanna live there....

South Korea is very crowded and busy....It's difficult to live in south korea..

In seoul, people over 10milion live in 605㎢.. It's terrible and painful

We are always under stress.

We must fight fiercely daily......

I hate this life..

I want to leave to scandinavia

I hope there is silent and gentle, peaceful..

I want to live to there...

Thanks for the beautiful comments! :) :cheers2:

unoh> Denmark has one of the highest/best qualities of life on the planet, and Danes are (according to a british survey) the happiest people on the planet. So there must be something right, here :) Helsingør (Elsingore in English) is a very beautiful and peaceful city. Sometimes it is crowded, but only by swedes and/or tourists ;) so it's okay.
