line jumping at a Nørrebro park
One aspect of studying at DIS that I haven’t really thought too much about is the class-free Wednesdays. This means that more often than not, you have a majority of your day to go and experience life in the area you live, or any part of Denmark. If you do have class, its a field study often to also experience Copenhagen with your class. Today, I took advantage of schedule freeness and explored Nørrebro with my friend Kristen.

Nørrebro is one of the neighborhoods near the city center, sort of like the Brooklyn of Copenhagen. Which means that it has extreme amounts of culture, personality and is overall a nice place to wander and bike aimlessly!
One thing about Copenhagen is that the parks here are wonderful no matter what age you are. I have found a variety of playgrounds that have made me want to be a mini-human again. They are often colorful, uniquely designed and not full of colored metal bars or constrained by regulations (that I know of or can tell). They are much different from the ones I played on during my childhood in Minnesota. Please enjoy a brief video of trampoline jumping below.
In-ground mini trampolines of various shapes; circles or squares, are a normal feature found on playgrounds or parks.
When I stumble upon them, they add a delightful addition to my day!
