This one takes us to Copenhagen where we learn that it is the largest city in Northern Europe and that most of the descendants were Vikings. Next we learn about the fishing and flower industries as well as the "open air lifestyle" the government asks for, which is encouraging that citizens get out of doors to enjoy the fresh air. From here we see the legendary mermaid statue based around Hans Christian Anderson. Finally, the big selling point of this short video is seeing all the bicycles and how they are the main transportation throughout the city. We learn that there is one bike for every three people and that the bikes have full control of the streets. In fact, the cars really seem out of place and at times it's hilarious watching the people on bicycles cut off the cars without any hesitation. This is certainly one of the better entries in the series. Written by Michael_Elliott See less
