Denmark _ home of LEGO

The introduction

I'm sure, that you all know what Lego is, especially nowadays, when those Lego things are very poppular among children. People buy those Lego toys for their children,who are very keen on having Lego toys. My cousin is just 7 years old and he has so many Lego toys, that his parents don't know, where to store a those toys and he wants to have even more Lego toys and there are so many of them in the supermarkets, that you can not really understand which one to buy them.

To be honest, I didn't really get, why children loved those Lego things so much. They were so small and there were so many pieces of the puzzle to handle, that I didn't want to build those things with them, let those be houses or figures or anything else. Then I remembered, that i used to have such Lego blocks when I was a child and I used to build houses ith them with my brother and sister and we used to love that process of building.

Anyways, soon I realised, that I used to love such Lego toys in my childhood, however, they were not as small as they are now and I really prefer those larger pieces of those Lego toys, than the small ones.

A little bit about the Lego toys

So, I can tell you, that I didn't really know much about the Lego and what's more, I didn't even know, that they were called Lego toys whe I used to have them back in my childhood.  However, some time ago, when I was looking some things in Internet about Denmark and its culture and everything, I found out, that Lego was from Denmark and the homeland of Lego was Denmark,in particular. I found out, that there was the official Lego store in Copenhagen and  this huge Lego center in Denmark on this small island, where you can go and have all the Lego fun there.

Lego room for Lego lovers in the Maritime Museum, Denmark

Those Lego things are so popular, that there was even this children room full of Lego things in the Maritime Museum nearby Copenhagen, which I visited during my being in Denmark and that room was full of very small pieces of Lego and children were there with their parents or whoever and they built Lego and they were so happy, that you couldn't get them out of there. Even I was in shock seeing all that Lego stuff there. I guess, there were some professional lego builders there, too , and they had built huge ships with all those small lego pieces there. It was really amazing. And, i must say , that, at first , when I read the sign, saying that there was a Lego room  for children in the museum, I thought, that it was not that interesting at all to visit it during my visit to the Maritime museum, because I didn't have much time to see everything there and I really wanted to see many things in Helsigor _ the place, where the museum was among other things, such as the Kronborg's Castle, which was my main destination to visit there. So, after some thinking, I decided, that since I was already there, I could see that children's Lego room , so that I went in and I was really amazed by all the Lego toys there. I bet, it took some pretty much time to build those large ships and castles from those tiny pieces of Lego. So that, if you are ever in Denmark visiting the Maritime museum, you should definitely check the Lego room out there, especially if you have children with you, who are not interested in sailing and ships and exhibitions there.

Lego store in Copenhagen

There was this TV show "Orel i Reshka" (heads or tails)  from Ukrainians in Russian language, where they had some information about cities and places all over the world and they went to those places and spent a weekend there and told us about the things to see and do there and a little bit of history, too, of course, so that one of the cities was Copenhagen and I watched that show because of that on Youtube channel, so that I would know more about Copenhagen and have a little more information about the city that I was going to visit. The show was pretty good and the information pretty much helped me in orienting the city and gathering a little information about it.  so this woman went to the  Lego store in Copenhagen and though she only had maximum of  100 $ with her, she still managed to buy something there. To be honest, you can buy something good for 100$ there, but, i think, that you will agree with me, that it's just really expensive to buy something for 100$ and something that is not very valuable, though children love it and everyone wants to have some lego toys at home. So, when this woman went to the Lego store, she saw all those great things, which children love and not only children, so that she wanted to buy many things there, however, she couldn't afford much and she bought just one fiugre from those Lego blocks, which are kind of on shelves into the walls.

After watching this show about the Lego store in Copenhagen , of course, I had planned to visit that Lego store, which I thought, that would be huge and there would be so many things and much space, however, it was kind of dissapointing, because it was not very large, not to mention huge, and it was just one room full of Lego toys and people, and there was not enough room for everything and everyone, if you want to know the truth.
