Great evening yesterday night in Christiania! My friend Andrea just joined me here in Copenhagen and we both moved to a nice commune in Vanløse. People share everything here and they do it in a very effective and organized way. For example, there is a dinner list where who wants to eat dinner can sign up, or even crossing the box "save some for me". I borrowed a bike from my previous host, and Andrea found one here. So now although we live pretty far from the centre (8km), we don't have to spend money on transportation. We are basically living for free; I stopped spending money several days ago, and if everything goes on like this, I won't spend any, but for the occasional cup of coffee or beer, until the end of my stay. Now I want to involve the local CouchSurfing community in order to create a page called Free Copenhagen modelled on the one I wrote about Iceland last year, with all things you can do for free and how you can survive without money in Copenhagen. This is tourism for the next millennium.So yesterday we took our bikes and cycled for almost an hour to get to Christiania. People's Kitchen was supposed to start at 7, but at 6:45 everyone was still cutting vegetables. They told us the food was not gonna be ready until 8, so we asked if we could help. I thought it was hard to get in unless you knew someone, like everywhere in Christiania basically. But not here: we started cutting, slicing, mixing, and all that. People were getting really hungry and since we had a lot of bananas, we just made litres of banana smoothie and served it as an appetizer. We also had huge bags full of fresh bread (that had already been thrown out by the bakery, for some reason) and pizzas, that also went into appetizers. The menu was very basic, and it was exactly the same that we would have many times in Reykjavík: a stew, rice, salad and fruit salad. The stew was almost raw and too watery, so at the end people had to pour most of the water out, and eventually all the taste was gone. That was so typical! I guess next Thursday we'll try to take over the stew-making process, if there is nobody who can. Tonight food at the Candy Factory!
