Often cited as one of the world’s most livable countries, Denmark seems uniquely poised to stand as an economic and cultural bastion amid today’s global turmoil. The country is a leader in both sustainability–bicycles are the life-blood of Copenhagen’s streets, and the country has plans to be carbon-neutral by 2050–and reliable economic growth in an otherwise lagging euro zone. Its landmark mid-century cultural exports are recently getting a much needed overhaul by innovative Danish filmmakers, musicians, designers and restaurateurs garnering new international acclaim. Denmark it seems, is finally a destination in which Poor Yorick might fancy himself a trendy, international gentleman of jest.

01 Postcard | Gdańsk

Through the heart of the Polish port city of Gdańsk runs the pedestrian-only ul. Długa (or "Long" Street). Known to Poles for its statue of Neptune and the Town Hall (Ratusz), whose clock tower can be seen here, the street became known to me for its lody (or "Ice Cream").
