I celebrated New Years on Vesterbro, the part of Copenhagen I still consider my hood, even though I moved in 1993. Vesterbro has changed immensely since I moved. It’s now very trendy with lots of cafés and interesting little shops. To draw a parallel…What used to be a pharmacy, where you could overhear the drug-addicts order their syringes for safe shooting-up, now is home to a popular café, and the most “greasy” diner of the neigbourhood, has been replaced by a deli specialised in bio-dynamic bread.
2005 most certainly was a roller-coaster ride, I’ve renewed friendships, found new and most certainly discovered who my true friends are. I’m really privileged to have such good friends, and I’d like to thank all of you for being so supportive. Pad yourself on your shoulder, you know who you are.
Now I’m looking forward to 2006 with optimism, and I think that it will be a great year where I after a long period of reflection, will be able to act out my potential.
