You know it is festival time in Arhus when…

1. [A big kitsch advertisement announce it from afar][1]
2. There are big tents throughout town.
3. The city is decorated with [underwear][2].
(The main theme of the festival this year seems to be women (see [here][3]), but maybe Womania in Danish means women underwear, who knows.)

4. [A line of women waiting to enter a department store][4] - only women are allowed in (well, they have to buy new clothing, now that the decrations are complete).
5. [These huge unsafe gas cylinders][5] are in fact completely safe beer kegs.
6. [Royal yacht is in town][6].

In my next blog entry: "Is it just disgusting, or is it beer?"
