The Weekly Wrap – Sunday, Sept 22

A second look at some of the week’s best stories from online and print

If you're anything like us, your week may sometimes feel like a blur. 

That's why The Copenhagen Post is trying something different on Sundays. We will take a deep breath, a step back and a second look at some of the stories that made up the past seven days both in our printed weekly newspaper and online. 

As a reminder, you can also hear more from us – if you so wish – via Facebook and Twitter, and via our new daily newsletter, The Evening Post. And if you have a hard time getting your hands on a physical copy of the Post, why not sign up to have it delivered to your inbox? If you haven't read them yet, you can download this week's Copenhagen Post and InOut guide today. 

And, if if you enjoy The Weekly Wrap, why not sign up to receive it as an email each week?

Here are just some of the stories from the week that was:

– This week's cover story looked at the predicament of organisations who would like to help the foreign homeless but can't

– The story of Danish-Iranian artist Firoozeh Bazrafkan's conviction for her comments on Muslim men set off quite the debate. We also had a full interview with Bazrafkan, in which she said that Denmark's anti-racism legislation is stifling free speech

– With later marriages and more divorces, immigrants are becoming more 'Danish'

– Faster trains may be on the cards for commuters, but will the government's plan end up costing dearly in terms of lost oil investments?

– Everyone seems to want international primary schools … except for Dansk Folkeparti

– The Metro construction situation has become quite a mess – we attempted to catch up on the latest

– Forget what the Chinese calendar says, 2013 is the year of the rat in Copenhagen

– InOut was once again chock-full of things to do and see in and around Copenhagen. Let managing editor Ben Hamilton walk you through this week's offers

– In sport, FCK played to a surprise draw against Juventus, and the national men's volleyball team is playing host to the European championships

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. We'll be back at it tomorrow.
