Excerpt:
This poem is actually a song by Michael Falch. I just love the text so I decided to translate it. There's no dots or commas, I know. It's supposed to be that way. It rhymes in Danish but not in English... It's called "I et land uden høje bjerge" in Danish.

In a country with no high mountains
where it rains and snows
Shall I live my days
and die the day is happens
On a dot on the world map
as nobody reckon on
And so easy can be gone
when we don't have peace anymore

Excerpt:
The 38 year old woman from North Zealand jumped out from the 34,8 meter tall tower - Rundetaarn and landed in the middle of pedestrians.

No one got hit when the woman jumped. Købmagergade as the street is called got barred. About 15 people were witnesses to the incident.

Among other were a class witnesses to the tragedy and the police called for phycological help.

Red cross helped the witnesses and has done a great job according to the police.

The police says that they have handled the incident and that it was a suicide and not an accident....

Excerpt:
Skallingen is an island in the northern part of vadehavet (walkocean is the right translation). It's 7 km long and is a quite new island. It was naturally made in 1634 by a sandstorm. Skallingen is all nature, but that's not the only thing...

Skallingen until today had the last minefelt in Denmark. The Germans putted them there duing world war II, but now it's all clean.

You still should'nt go there, because it's nature area. It would be a good place to swim, but the ocean is pretty rough there. Actually 2 km of the island will be gone by the next 25 years...
