the little mermaid

Posted by Naomi on Apr 4, 2009 in doing stuff in Copenhagen

We finally went to see her - a bit sad that it’s taken over three months even though it’s only a ten minute ride away.

Edit - I’ve come back to say, yes - she’s not quite as exciting as you’d expect but compared to the Mona Lisa (queuing for hours, looking at this postage stamp sized painting enclosed in a huge glass box for 0.3 second before being shuffled on) it wasn’t to bad. The weather was lovely, there were other things to look at, it was close to home and no queues! (Although a busload of tourists arrived as we did … they all stood looking at it, vaguely puzzled like perhaps they were expecting something more? bigger? different?).

Easter

Posted by Naomi on Apr 4, 2009 in Hugo, we're not in Australia anymore Toto

I am learning about Danish traditions through Hugo’s børnehave activities. The preschool is on Easter break now, so yesterday (the last day of the term) they had a ‘formal’ lunch together, which is how many Danes celebrate at Easter. Each student brought food to share, and they dressed up in their nice clothing. They also had a short Easter service at the church next to the preschool (I think it’s a Lutheran church) and each child put a daffodil onto a wooden cross.

Daffodils (according to wikipedia) are traditional table decorations at Easter lunch.
