Is it a case, that the word, "ghetto" is more polite than the word "slum"?

also, is this a case of the Danes tucking the "slum" into a smaller provincial city as opposed to Copenhagen ? Surely every town, like in Canada has a poorer part ? So ... what sets Odense apart ?

[Chatleen]

Now it begins :) I just saw a clip in the news showing the couple on their way to Dannebrog :)

Well, I would say, that Vollsmose is more a ghetto than slum.

My electronic Oxford dictionary tells me, that a 'Ghetto' is:

'an area of a city where many people of the same race or background live, separately from the rest of the population'

while 'slum' is:

'an area of a city that is very poor and where the houses are dirty and in bad condition'.

Vollsmose is primarily populated by non-ethnic danes, but the buildings aren't really slum. They are from the not so glorious architectural period in which concrete were seen as a usefull building-material, but one of the means in the non-successfull efforts of non-ghettoising (??) the area, has been to improve and modernize the buildings.

Sure every town has their own 'ghettos', but Vollsmose is in Denmark one of the most notorious. If it is fair is hard for me to say...

They are just leaving the palace for the three second car ride, before getting out and taking all of 30 minutes to board the Dannebrog ? :)

Any pictures yet ?

Well, we saw them board the "chalup", which take them to Dannebrog.

I couldn't find any pictures at Polfoto yet.

I think, this site probably will be updated with photos....

[hrhcp]

"chalup" = royal barge ( the boat that took they from shore to the Dannebrog ) ?

[Chatleen]

The same pictures - three times :P

I know, I was the last one, but I'll keep my links though - links directly to Polfoto doesn't always keep on working

[micas]

It semes that we have the same ideia at the same time

[hrhcp]

three avid Fred & Mary fans :flower:

[Chatleen]

I should be doing something completely different from this, but my telly just seems to refuse to be turned off

Just saw the balconyscene at the townhall in Aarhus. The crowd demanded a kiss, and Frederik gave his Mary a wee kiss the 3rd and last time, they went out on the balcony
