Copenhagen, part 1

Perhaps none of us that doesn’t know about the fairy tale “The Little Mermaid”. In my childhood reading, I believed that the story has a happy ending but since I grow up, the Little Mermaid has become a sad love story for me. The Mermaid has given up her life and her identity in order to gain the prince’s love and a human soul.

But when the prince marries the princess, her hearts breaks, she has only one chance to become the mermaid again by killing the prince, to let his blood drip on her feet. She chooses to scarify herself instead of killing him. She dies and her body dissolves into sea foam, turns into spirit and be with the air…

I wished I could one time visit the homeland of the author, Hans Christian Andersen. And I got a chance to visit it this summer. Copenhagen, a very modern city but it still brings me the feeling of a fairy land with the beautiful castles, buildings, king and queen…









The sight when I was in Canal tours in Copenhagen

Nyhavn is a perfect place in summer to enjoy the food, coffee and ice cream. You can watch people and the boats go by.  It is also the area where there are many prominent artists living. Hans Christian Andersen was living in one of these.

The water is this emeral green, so pretty!





Some flowers on the way to see the Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid statue is one of the most important tourist attractions in the city. She is made of bronze, 125 cm tall, 175 kg weight and also a victim of vandalism for several times. She is very small, someone told us not to be disappointed to see her because it is too small compare to our imagination. But I knew it already. Though it was a little bit windy but the weather favoured to us, sunshines for the whole journey!
