City Buzz in Pictures

Brandon | July 26, 2009

Walking through the city centre the other day, there was a LOT of energy and buzz. Seemed like every third person was a walking U2 advert. Tourist season is also in full swing, though there seemed to be fewer American tourists than usual. And, of course, Ikea is opening tomorrow, so they’re hoping you’ll “Be sick.”

The free “eco cab” service is also back for the summer, with a bit more of a cyber-push.

And these young people were joining scores of others in Europe’s big cities for a “free hug” campaign. Funny enough, as I chatted with them, they didn’t seem to have any idea of the movement that they were a part of. I guess that’s often characteristic of a “viral” movement.
