Tour guides usually describe and document the highlights of a city, country or region. All the sights, and what makes them so special are described. That’s all fine. But how often have I not found myself taking pictures of all the banalities when I walk through a new city equipped with the eyes of the tourist?

I have a theory.

If I was to document all the most common banalities of the Copenhagen cityscape and put it on a web site, it would prove to be new, strange and exotic to many people. If I however documented all the sights of the city, I’d only repeat all the tour books in the world describing Copenhagen. As interesting as that might be, it would not reveal anything new.

So, why not create a collective hub that collect everyday banalities from around the world? A celebration of all the little differences that only the tourist, the stranger and the guest will notice.

All the things not worthy of mentioning and what won’t fit into a regular guidebook
I’m pretty sure that something like this already exists in some shape or form… But I don’t know where.
