Today was excursion day, we went to Copenhagen for some sights on a private double decker posh bus. Of course, we started with the famous Little Mermaid statue, but as usual it's pretty overrated, like the Manneken Pis in Brussels, but it's a lot bigger than the latter. After some readings, I realized that the Disney Little Mermaid came from this Hans Christian Andersen Folk tale.

Afterthat, we went over to the National museum for a guided tour, we took a bus to the National Museum, where we were led by a very nice but BORING guide. My rationale is that, since we're in Denmark, we're probably interested in Danish pre-history, but no, they sent us an Egyptologist. As if i've not seen enough over all the museums i've been to. I don't hate Egypt's history but I guess I'm here for Denmark's history and he didn't cover it as much as he ranted about Egypt. Well, some interesting stuff i learnt was that most of the artefacts were gifts from the Egypt government, and I saw REAL MUMMIES. No, I'm not uploading those pics here.
