Happy Mothers' Day to all the mothers out there. Suppose that everyone is celebrating this special day by eating out or even having a warmy dinner together at home. Its such a great feeling, isn't it? My mum is working today so will be having a belated celebration wid her:) Had a nice sleep today, woke up at 4pm. Slept at 6am ytd so thus explain why I woke up late today but it was uber late and i also dunno why. Im a well-known sleeping pig at home. Even my bf says Im a pig okay. Ok, I shall share something nice wid all of you. This is Copenhagen, a place which I wanted to go ever since I heard it from a friend. I love this place particularly of The Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid is the most famous and popular tourist attraction in Denmark. The statue, situated on Copenhagen's waterfront, is a national landmark and synonymous with the city.

Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is her father. He wrote the fairy tale of The Little Mermaid in 1837. Disney produced the film, and Copenhagen maintains a statue in her honour. The statue of The Little Mermaid continues to be the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark and one of the most photographed statues in the world. There are several copies of her, but the closest thing to the original sits at Langelinie in Copenhagen Harbour.

Creation of The Little Mermaid
In 1909 Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen ordered sculptor Edvard Eriksen to create a statue of The Little Mermaid. It was presented to the City of Copenhagen on 23 August 1913.

Life of The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid has had a very turbulent life with vandalism, violation and even decapitation. But she is a tough old lady and has survived numerous attacks during her long life. The statue at Langelinie is actually a copy of the original statue. The real one is in the safe possesion of sculptor Edvard Eriksen's heirs. In addition there is a copy in the Danish enclave Solvang in California, USA, and a similar statue (Girl in a wetsuit) inspired by The Little Mermaid in Vancouver, Canada.
