Introducing the most photographed lady in Denmark...the Little Mermaid (personally, I think it's a rather sad fairy tale, again, Wikipedia can tell better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid)
See the red circle mark on the top picture? That's the Little Mermaid from far (well, not that far actually). As pretty as she might looks up-close, she's tinier than one's perception. I was a little disappointed when I realize that's THE famous little mermaid; still the slight disappointment doesn't stop me from taking lots of her pictures :)
The Royal Palace (Amalienborg palace) is the residence of Queen Margrethe, consist of 4 different palaces surrounding the knight statue of King Frederik V. A friend told me that if a knight statue has both legs on the ground, it means the knight die of natural diseases; one leg in the air indicates he die from wound during battle; both legs in the air means he die in a battle. Not sure how true this is, just to share. :)Missed the guard changing at the court yard which will take place by noon but saw them marching on the pedestrian street, kind of cool.
Time for the embarrassing story: while I was walking in front of the palace square, a tourist's map flew away towards my direction. Seeing him clumsily chasing after the map, I decided to be nice & bend down to pick up the map for him. Can you believe he couldn't stop in time & 'bang' into me? I fell on my back & there were so many people laughing, I felt so embarrassed. I think back what happen, it is kind of funny...'accident' of the day, too bad he's not young & handsome, lol
