Damn!
Denmark is on fire. I can’t believe the shit that’s been going on. Copenhagen is such a calm place. I lived there for almost a year, as an employee of IO Interactive. While working there, friends teased me (that’s okay, it was funny) how all this laid-back lifestyle must be foreign for me.
BUT
1. On the day of the interview, a Muslim extremist tried to blow up the train station.
2. On my first weekend in Denmark, the whole Muhammad cartoon shenanigan started. I finished my glass of Coke and left the cafe, straight into the mob. Talk about luck 
3. At the beginning of 2nd Lebanon War, plenty of refugees came to Copenhagen. On the first week there have been power struggles right outside my window, probably between new people and the old gang. Streets lights were then shut off to get people off my street 
4. On my last month in Copenhagen, there were riots about the exact same house that they are talking about in the news. Luckily I was in England/Ireland on vacation that week, and came back after things cooled off.
Now I see all this shit on tv and I recognize everything. I see the 7-Eleven I bought all my chocolate at, I see the Netto minimarket where I got my food. Heck, I even see my building, and it’s always a bad things when you see your own apartment in the news.
Two friends from IO have been teargassed; It’s not that they were protesting again or anything, heck, haven’t heard one person who’s in favor of the mess that’s going on.
I hope this shit ends quickly and Copenhagen goes back to its normal life style. Summer is just incredible in the city, I wouldn’t want to see it ruined.
All the best.
