Copenhagen - Andersen's City

• Secondhand market

The next morning I got up pretty late and continued to explore the city of writer Andersen.

I just opened the door to meet another secondhand market, unlike the second market souvenirs yesterday , glass cup and stamp collections , today is all clothes only.

Of course, just like in Vietnam, most of the customers  are women, and the old clothes market is more bustling than the old market.

The lockers, you only need to go in the back of the lift is 100% safe, it reminds me of the maple cloth in the traditional markets in Vietnam, not safe at all. end.

A quiet day in Copenhagen, the kids are playing the public water fountain

• Visiting the old city 
• Then I went back to the old town area, in general, because yesterday I had a hard day and visited most of the famous places in Copenhagen so today I just walked around and enjoy city gentle

A shopping center

• Lords of the Rings Chess - Shopping Mall

They have sold a set of chess - Lords of the Rings, which are full of characters like Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, even Lady Galadriel and Elrond, but I found out a lovely truth that is. This chess set lacked the main character - Mr. Frodo, the Ring's bearer. : v: v

• Nature love education in Copenhagen

Next, I walked towards the Palace of Christiansborg . On the way I met a group of families that were sailing on the canal.

I see small canals running across Copenhagen's old town, they are directing the children to pick up trash left by tourists unintentionally.

I say loudly :

Thank you, you are doing a great thing.

 They are also very happy, happy to wave their hands toward me. I really appreciate the education of nature love here. By teaching children to pick up travel waste on the water, these parents are teaching them a natural love nature.

We still use the word "mother nature" because nature is the source of life and all that human beings have. However, one way or another, we have not stopped harming nature. As a consequence, the area of forest is decreasing, the water is increasingly scarce, the air is increasingly polluted, natural disasters occur more and more.

•  Early Education of loving nature is very important

Although I see the world has taken many measures to overcome the consequences of the damage of nature.

But practical and lasting meaning is to educate the love of nature for children.

Today, adults may dreamily remember the "butterfly chase by the pond", but young children have little chance to interact with nature. After school, students have to go to the classroom for additional study.

So I believe it is the parents who are responsible for educating children who should love nature from the beginning. When we tell your child to "put the garbage in the trash", explain to them why they have to. When we plant a tree, we should let the children contribute to caring and understanding how useful trees are for people. When we know how to save water, children will know how clean water is.

It is important for kids to pick up trash on the canal in Copenhagen that they should not be thrown out because it will harm the environment. Every time it happens, children must be aware that this is a consequence of the fact that we do not know how to protect nature. These things happen every day, with patience, we can show children the meaning of environmental protection.

• I and National Museum of Denmark

Next I went to visit the Christiansborg Palace. This is the royal royal summer palace of Denmark located on a small island attached to the old quarter of Copenhagen.

I first turned into the National Museum of Denmark located opposite the Christiansborg Palace.

I learned about reindeer hunters who lived in the icy cold during the ice age, where I looked at clothes from the Middle Ages and heard stories of Danish brutal sea warriors, the Viking, at this fascinating Danish National Museum. There are free exhibitions suitable for both adults and children, and there is plenty of fun activities for the whole family.

As the largest cultural and historical center in the country, the National Museum of Denmark reveals tales from the earliest traces of Danish civilization. The National Museum of Denmark has artifacts, photographs and paintings dating back to thousands years ago.

I began my visit on the ground floor with a display of time about the ancient history of Denmark. Discover one of the earliest days in the area. Learning how to pass on their heritage through the ages, such as hunting and fishing has long been associated with the survival of the Danes.

Once I had a full look, I walked over to the Viking exhibit, a highlight of the museum. Denmark's relationship with the sea was always strong, and the Vikings once dominated the waters between Denmark, England and the European mainland.

You should go if you want to find out about the fierce battles they fought and the ships they considered to be homes during the months of maritime adventures.

After a 1h30 minute staying  at the museum, I continued to visit

• Christiansborg Palace 

The Christiansborg Palace from the front, this is the regular residence of the royal court of Denmark

Then I entered the palace's souvenir area

The Steadfast Tin Soldier

Andersen and the ugly duckling

Andersen, along with two of his most famous characters: The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the ugly duckling.

Then I left to climb to the top of the palace,

View down the whole of Christiansborg Palace from the top of the tower, in the middle is the Equestrian Statue of Christain Ix, Danish King Christian IX

The old town of Copenhagen, far from the tower of the Kunsthallen Nikolaj Art Museum, is furthered by the Rundetaarn tower (round tower) which is one of the first Danish astronomical stadia.

Do you see the blue tile roof in the middle of the picture, which is Copenhagen's Børsbygningen Stock Exchange building, built from 17th right next to the pier for currency exchange and trade.

Then I went down and met the gods of Atlas, thanks to the trip to Greece, which I understood more about the gods, Atlas is the man to carry on the back of the whole sky, so the god Atlas made the pillars. The work is a pedestal.

• Gods of Atlas

Because of the fact that the Atlas was beautiful here, each statue was thoughtful, reflecting its own color.

I waited for five minutes to get to the passing guest, and then someone stopped curious to see the statues as I did. It is a lovely Turkish friend who will accompany me on my trip to Copenhagen.

Then we went down, I was happy to see the pens - actually the rain shelters for the king's guards. They were so lovely.

•  Pretty Rain Shelters of King Guards

It looks like a pencil! I wondered if it was because Andersen had seen these pencils and imagined writing the story "The Steadfast Tin Soldier"

Even though I find it lovely to see the Royal Emblem of Denmark.

The heart is something of the Royal Danish, even printed on Danish coins.

Photographs in front of the Christiansborg Palace, thanks to a friendly Turk friend I have a nice photo here.

Farewell to the Christianborg Palace, we (me and Ahmet Serdar) continue the journey together.

• Ahmet - My new friend

Ahmet is a medical student awarded the Youngest Scientist of the Year 2017, so he was invited to attend a conference in Copenhagen, he is also the president of the BVU Students Association of Istanbul.

As a talented person he has been to many places from Japan, China to Poland, now Copenhagen. He was born in 1993, this is the year he started to study for a master's degree and had a world-class research project. Dress up

Ahmet was very virtual, so he actively proposed to accompany me to visit the city, he will take pictures for me and I will take pictures for him. v: v: v

Fortunately, thanks to Ahmet, I got some beautiful photos.

Then we visited Copenhagen City Hall 

• Copenhagen City Hall.

 Copenhagen City Hall is one of the tallest buildings in Copenhagen. There are about 300 steps from the sidewalk and up to the tower, which gives you a view of Tivoli Gardens and the inner city. Unfortunately, we could not visit the City Hall at time because it was Sunday, so here I provide you information about visiting this place.

Special tours

If you are a group f 5 or more it's possible to design your own guided tours, lasting from 1-2 hours including the tower, the special City Hall pancake and a glass of sparkling wine.

At Copenhagen City Hall is Radhuspladsen Square, we stopped here for 30 minutes just to take pictures, I first took a photo shoot as a model

Gold statue of someone holding a sword and a stick.

The flowers bloom in front of the city hall

On the right side of the square there is a great statue of Hans Christian Andersen Andersen, the world-famous writer with fairy tales, I like and remember the most like brave lead soldier, duckling ugly, the emperor's new clothes, the comet, snow princess ...

Unfortunately, it is sad that Ahmet, who helped me take this souvenir picture, did not know about that fairy tale, but so far I still think that every child in the world has read and know the story of Andersen.

Probably Muslim children (not to mention Ahmet, the Turkish Turks, Ahmet is the shortened version of Mohammed, the Prophet who founded Islam, turned out to be many Muslims making this name. Maybe the Muslims will have their own children's series, or maybe they also have other fairy tales which I do not know.

I wish it was true because a child who read Andersen's fairy tales I was immersed in exciting, fairy-tale worlds. But the short and humorous Hans Christian Andersen story reminds me even now that I'm old. 3

Then two of us went to the nearby BurgerKing for lunch, Ahmet - a virtual live person, or more virtual than the sisters at home, prepared a macbook to copy my photos, make sure he He must update his / her immediate family status at home.

Ahmet also asked me for food bill because he was paid by the sponsor, in return he invited me big cocacola. 3

Then we said goodbye, and I returned to the Andersen statue to take a picture of "the little match girl" - I have been doing this drama many times so I would like to play once here on Mr Andersen's footsteps. .

The little asian match girl in Copenhagen. v picked up a lot of big rods I hurried to break the match. 

By the time I left, I saw the matches on fire in Europe, as big as those pencils, but I would bring them with me.

•  The meaningfull story of the little match girl

Andersen is a famous Danish writer with stories for children. His works have become familiar and familiar to not only international children, but I acknowledge that most Vietnamese children know his stories.

Andersen is a famous Danish writer with stories for children. His works have become familiar and familiar to not only international children, but I acknowledge that most Vietnamese children know his stories.

The little match girl is a compulsory work that all vietnamese students have to learn at primary school. So I enjoyed and understood this work, which gave us deep compassion for the miserable unhappiness.

On New Year's Eve, it is the night that everyone eagerly awaits, the night God blesses everywhere: "In the street filled with rotten goose smell," the house shines with light, beautiful scenery. how! But anybody else outside the snow white snow, a baby is going to step foot, barefoot, stomach hungry cold. Each word contains the tears of the writer.

My heart is not broken, pity and pity. The tender offer as pleading, begging to buy her matchmaker does not make people pass the compassion. The accident of human life is more cruel than cold. The cold hunger is abusing the poor baby but it is only physical pain and the mental pain that you suffer is much worse.

At the most natural age, imagine you had to say goodbye to your beloved mother. Even my grandmother - my only spiritual supporter is no longer in this world. Hungry thirst, poverty is clinging to you, the father cursed all day, beat him. That is why I have to overcome, struggling with the wind of life. Alas! The high society to the rich has plowed human lives, small lives into the deep pit. A society that everyone knows only is different from "hell on earth". Not a long paragraph, but two opposing pictures that make the words like accusations.

 The flickering bright lights shimmering dispel the cold, coolness that reigns in the soul of the baby, bringing you to the world of fairies. The first match is just random unconscious. "I lifted my hands on the matchsticks like shining charcoals," she said before her eyes on the warmth of the fireplace. But until the match is over, strange things return to reality. But then she suddenly realized that she was dreaming.

I really felt something in this part, it was unintended decision of using the match, but it has shown something inside her, it was kind of dream, the dream of the better life.

Only when the match burns out, these illusions also vanished back to me with the reality. But the strange thing is that these dreams awakened the desire in her; longing to live with her, to live in love, to get away from the hardship, then she swung all the remaining matches in the bag to keep her image to stay, her hand held soaring high , high on God's adoration.

With a humorous pen and a loving heart, I admire Anderse's talent, and he describes the death of a beautiful, happy bride. Dead lips still smiling happily.  By all that I have seen through the match firing moment in the last moment. The story of the "the little match girl" shows me the miserable situation, the hunger, the pitiful situation of a quasi-girl. .

I can see the sympathy, humanity of the author for the little girl and the children who are still suffering from poverty. Through this, I believe Andersen wants to send each of us a message: Love your children, give them a peaceful and happy life; Make the dreams behind the flare of the matchmaker come true.

Ahmed farewell, farewell town hall and Radhuspladsen square

The front of Radhuspladsen is Copenhagen's new metropolitan are

I decided to go to Nyhavn for the last time.

At that time I met many interesting things, enough to make me realize that 2 long days are not enough to explore all Copenhagen.
