The Journey of Little Mermaid to China
When I was in Copenhagen, I was so naive thinking that the Little Mermaid was there. So I scoured around and found nothing, except a giant mermaid statue that doesn’t look quite like what I am familiar with. I went ahead and asked a local there, apparently an old man:
“She went to China, for the World Expo.”
“Thank you, Sir, I could’ve known about that!”, I replied.
This soothing video documents the journey beautifully.
