ok so the biggest complaint seems to be that denmark doesn't clickbait. The little mermaid is.........little and in regards to the round tower the problem seemed to be the lack of a bar, but he was in fact only promised a round tower, not a round tower with a bar on top. I think Denmark should get an A for naming in this case.

I think the misconception of the little mermaid is that as a dane, you have grown up with that fairytale so it has another meaning for us. It represents HC Andersen and the fairytale world he stod for. It’s part of our childhood, it has been a window to the world, with all the translations of his fairytales. It is or it can be a topic, you can discuss with anyone around the world and for that I think it is amazing🥰

The Little mermaid, it's often very crowded and you can't get close to it but it is a pretty statue. You can see it's twin much closer up if you visit the Carlsberg Brewery. We took the guided tour, did the samplings and had a very delicious lunch. The round tower, it was cloudy so the telescope, up the stairs, didn't show much but due to suffering from vertigo, I couldn't have looked longer than 10 sec anyway. I though the tower itself and the walk up and down was very nice. I think the reviewer thought it was suppose to be spherical not cylindrical

According to the danish painter Asger Jorn, people gets disappointed by the little mermaid, only because they visit her under the wrong circumstances; according to Asger Jorn, you are supposed to visit the little mermaid during rainy and stormy weather. Ever since I heard that I have wanted to go there during a real storm .... but when there actually is a storm, I always prefer to stay in. 😁 But I once went to see the little mermaid one very early morning around 6 o'clock and it was pretty magical during the sunrise. 😀 I was very surprised to meet quite a few tourists from all over the world at that time of day.

Hi guys. Is hooking up different between DK and USA?
@RobeTrotting
2 жыл бұрын
Let's find out haha. Kidding... but seriously I think it's looser and there is less of a societal judgement for casual hook ups and stuff in DK vs USA. We have three videos on sex and sexuality in both countries where we sat with two sexologists from KU and it was fascinating to hear their thoughts and data from different studies.

The Little Mermaid! Yeah ,the size of it, is kinda in the name, If it were Eiffel tower sized it wouldn't be "The Little Mermaid" would it? Then it would be the "big as a whale and scary as F... mermaid"?

To be fair I have never understood why the statue of the little mermaid is anything special, much less something we would bring bus loads of American and Japanese tourists to see. If you've seen a photo of it, you've seen all there is to see. There's nothing more to it than that. As a nation we should be able to come of with better HC Andersen related tourist attractions than a boring little bronze sculpture. As a Dane I'm not sure I would rate it more than 1 star as a tourist attraction.
