Catching up on the last few days. I've got the television on as I type this - the kid's afternoon cartoon block. And once again, it's showing Shin Chan. Man, I had no idea Shin Chan was so huge in Europe. This and Biker Mice from Mars. And David Hasselhoff. And Fanta.

Last week, headed into Copenhagen for part of the day. Visited the Tivoli Gardens - a famous amusement park & gardens in the heart of Copenhagen. The Danes are really big on Tivoli - whenever you meet a Dane, the first or second question they ask is what you thought of Tivoli. Didn't do any of the rides or anything - just enjoyed the scenery. An interesting mix of the traditional Danish stuff - and kitschy pop like the Hard Rock Cafe.



But there's something wrong about a Build a Bear Workshop being housed in an old, ornately decorated building like this.

On the way back, took the train north of Copenhagen. Saw this graffiti and chuckled.



Copenhagen is the city of doom? These taggers have obviously never lived in Van Nuys.
