VANDALIZING THE LITTLE MERMAID

by DAO

This seems to be a preoccupation for strange people in Copenhagen. I think the problem is that the statue is so close you can get to her and that alcohol is freely available. Add in the fact that she is a national icon and you have the recipe for disaster. Why do you think the Statue of Liberty in America is on a remote island? The other problem is that is has been done so many times it seems to urge other would be vandals to do it again.So what’s happened to her? Quite a lot actually.• Unveiled 23 August 1913• 1961 hair painted red and a bra painted on as well• Decapitated 25 April 1964! The head was never recovered• 21 July 1984 right arm sawed off, but given back next day• 2 October 1985 painted blue• 1990 cuts on her neck left after a decapitation attempt• January 6th 1998 decapitated again!• September 11th 2003 knocked completely off her rock and into the water• December 18, 2004...

Gimmick at work at Stroget, Copenhagen

by hopang

Pedestrian Streets are always the favourite hunting grounds for gimmicks and other entertainers in many large cities in Europe where there are many foreign tourists especially during the warm summer months! Pedestrian street of Stroget in Copenhagen is no exception. The gimmick as depicted in our photograph on the right is making a living in the streets of Copenhagen. No reaction if you took a photo of him like we did. It was awesome! If you throw a token into the bowl below him, he will nod his head. But he will jump down in no time if you take something out of his bowl!
