As mentioned a while ago, I went to Europe this winter (summer in the northern hemisphere). Took a number of pictures. Decided against flooding the What You've Done today thread Didn't take a lot of pictures from the 3 hour stopover in Changi Airport, suffice to say, it's worth a visit if you've never been there (I've been there about a dozen times by now). A bit of amusing trivia about Denmark... it's flat, it's wet, it has 7000 of coastline with beaches (not including the overseas territories). Usually green with a grey sky. I got lucky, 2 weeks of mostly sunshine and 20-22c temperatures. Same as the winter in Brisbane, in Denmark they just call it "summer". Most places you go, even in the middle of nowhere, you'll find bicycle paths! Yes, the lane I'm standing on while taking this picture is a bicycle path and I have it coming if someone crashes into me here. Pedestrians have no more business being here than on the road I spent the majority of the two weeks in my old hometown on the west coast of Jutland, a town called "Esbjerg", old fishing and ferry town (used to have regular ferry routes to England before the channel tunnel), now mostly a port for shipping and offshore oil rig maintenance as well as a connection point for the offshore windmills and natural gas pipes from the North Sea. The maritime museum (next to the 4 white statues) have a number of saltwater aquariums showing North Sea wild life Went here several times, my favourite ice cream place the last 50 years! -
SO, dawn of Germany is near, and people are surprised when someone want to get out of Union of European socialistic republics http://www.dw.com/en/court-rules-against-böhmermanns-erdogan-poem/a-37490204 as would Gromnir state HA! Good fun!

Surprised that the media has finally to address the problem after many years of sweeping the Muslim rapepidemic under the rug. I have been reading about the rape gangs in Sweden and the UK, but it seems like their governments and media are either unwilling to or incapable of dealing with the problem. Now the media has finally turned around. Why? Why now? What is so different about Cologne that set it apart from Sweden or the UK (Birmingham and Rotterham)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgz9dT6cZBk
