Putting all of my life for the past six months into boxes and leaving with less than 15kg on my back is strangely relieving. One big bag of clothes was left for the free exchange hut in Christiania. I also left behind one or two passable novels bought for the semester, one disliked movie (sorry Jarmusch) and a lot of anxiety. Less is more.Choosing what I am going to pay to be shipped home and what I could do without led to some interesting choices. Among the things I have decided to keep is a granite cube that weighs about 3-4 pounds. It is one of the pavers commonly used in the thin signature strip of cobblestones down the middle of sidewalks in Copenhagen. I hope that it will always remind me of the amazing care that this city puts into infrastructure.
