one more thing about malmö!



so, the swedes have taken two things that are often viewed as unpleasant in american cities and made them nice.

1. one is this skatepark, Stappelbädsparken, where there are tons of pools, and bowls and other types of terrain to skate. then there is a huge concrete area with moveable ramps, bumps and all kinds of other skate-able things(shown here). all set next to an old warehouse with tons of old-world, old-skool character. that ramp in the distance seems like it used to have huge ships being constructed on it or something. it's killin me! it's rad. i wish i knew how to skateboard because i would really tear it up at Stappelädsparken.

2. and then the dumpster. darling. suddenly, a trash receptacle you want to hug.
