Vytautas Ratkevicius describes helping a homeless, rough-sleeper in Lithuania
(Apologies from Alan if any of the words have been translated badly. It’s a blow-by-blow account)
Vytautas tells us:
Hi friends.
A couple of days ago passing through our yard, my attention was strangely drawn to the old things, pots and wooden bits and pieces – we call it the ‘rakandas’. We really couldn’t see it very well but…the things were strewn around in a messy way. I was surprised, and even ran away a little bit, because one of the wet old things reminded me of a person’s head. This is somewhat secret, dirty and unpleasant place. And I was surprised because as I approached closer I became sure that in the midst of the rakand, a man’s head is lying!!!
Copenhagen, Denmark
One of the most well-known and controversial micronations is Freetown Christiania. In 1971, a band of hippies occupied this abandoned military base, and theyâve never left. Growing to a robust population of 900, the community lives by its own rules, which included at one time an open cannabis trade in its famed Green Light District.
How To Visit Freetown Christiania
Freetown Christiania is located in Copenhagen, the Danish capital, in what is known as the Christcianshavn area. Cars are not allowed in the district, so plan on taking the train, bus, or bicycle. At the entrance to the community, youâll see a sign with the townâs three rules: âHave funâ, âDonât runâ and âNo photosâ (of people selling or consuming marijuana, specifically).
