What you need to know before your trail
This should be written in the present tense. But it isn’t.
Dorte should be at uni in Copenhagen. But she’s not.
She should probably put some curtains up in her new place.
And maybe stop sleeping with her neighbour’s boyfriend.
Perhaps things don’t always work out the way they should.

Copenhagen
The melancholy story of a young woman drifting through life. She visits plenty of places in and around the station – places of note include Larsbjørns street which is a nice shopping area and the university itself which is regal and ornate!
Dorte Hansen is a university student, and has recently moved to Copenhagen to attend university but she doesn’t go to any classes. She lives next to the railway station and spends most of her time sitting in the station, riding the trains and having various encounters with other commuters.
Her flat is unfurnished and uncared for – a bit like her really. She spends her time thinking and thinking bout the past in particular. She does however write a diary of her daily life in the city:
“I didn’t know what to do with myself, or how to go on.”
