NBGNGS: the wall

Alright as said we were going to build a wall in park, and we did. After some setbacks, we finally managed the trick. With a rope and a ladder we blocked a bridge over the water in one of the parks of Malmö.

When building our “wall” I didn’t expect to much of it, I thought people would just walk over it and they did. But when we were still building it people immediately asked us what the heck we were doing and that this wasn’t a good idea at all. Bikers came and they just crossed it also, young misses with prams had troubles to. But in a way our wall was mostly either not that big an obstacle. However when two people were at the spot on the same time there was some sort of communication although it was only with eye contact saying: “yeah what fool did this”.

What I expected to happen also happened, a lot of Swedes turn their back to it. But when a park watcher came, we expected that he was called to check out the situation. The strange thing was that the guy did jack shit about the obstacle, although his own park was blocked. On the same time an old chap cam from the other side with a bike. He didn’t know what to do: could he enter the park, is this obstacle here due to the park watcher, may I cross it, why isn’t the park watcher saying anything to me,…
