Seen in Copenhagen
Ben HallNever mind the empty malls of California. Ben Hall sends these photos from Copenhagen's main shopping drag. He writes:
Even though the Danes are dealing with their own version of the crisis, they have a bank bailout plan, and housing is in decline, it looked like a lot of people were buying. Things are extremely expensive here, too.
He's got a point. Just today, Reuters reports, Denmark became the first European country to declare it's in a recession since the crisis began this fall. You wouldn't know it from the photo after the jump, where you can eye a $120 lampshade that you get to assemble at home.
The lampshade will cost you $120.
