THE LITTLE MERMAID
Indeed - the
lady is tiny.
Americans who expect
to see something like the Statue of Liberty often get disappointed.
The waterfront is
nice, though. It demands a stroll along the salt-water harbour.
On a clear day, and if you tip-toe, you might spot a glimpse of south Sweden.
The mermaid is based
on the novel writen by Hans Christian Andersen - probably the most famous
dane globally.
During the 1960'ies
she was the famed Danish icon. Her fame has decreasing now, yealing as
the liberated city-part named Christiania is getting more famous.
Since 1913 the statue has been vandalised nine times.
