I actually thought about writing this a couple of times during the last days. Living for a few months in this flat already, only recently realised that this is a quite good area to be in. I’m saying this because, since I moved here I have been very happy about the fact that this zone gets me in Norreport (city center) and to school in 10 mins max.
Norrebro is the neighbourhood of the immigrants, most of them arabs. It is a ever-alive zone, day and night the Shawrma-Pizza houses exhaust the smell of meat and steam through they’re poorly ventilated windows. Unlike other “quiet” and very well famed neighbourhoods in Copenhagen where, at 9 PM there is no soul insight for 2 kilometres, the wonderful Norrebro will enchant you with sights of Arabs arguing in full street even at 2 – 3 AM. Police, people getting around … just a normal Norrebro sight. That is why this is the Danish Bronx …
Unlike the Bronx, this neighbourhood features some nice apartaments here and there, and nice shops and groceries (ran by Arabs ofcourse). Fights occur everyday but do not evolve into true conflicts … most of the time police taking care of them before they get hot.
I definately like this place. Although, sometimes the sight of islamic women (being covered by all kind of textils all over) is slightly disturbing, I love going out at 1 AM to buy food or whatever and finding lots of sortiments at all corners.
What is really funny is that this neighbourhood is really close to the city center, as I said before… and most other (well-looked at) neighbourhoods are so really far away. Residential areas … pfff
Anyway… that’s all from me … `nite ppl…
