Classic Copenhagen

So this is the mermaid statue that is probably the most famous attraction in the city.  In typical Danish fashion, she is kinda in the middle of nowhere so that when you finally find her, you are really underwhelmed (the statue is maybe 3 or 4 feet tall).  My opinion of the whole thing may be a bit tainted as I snapped this picture just after a Russian tourist felt the spotlight on him and responded by feeling up the statue.  It makes you wonder why some people actually travel.  When I was in Japan, we were waiting for a train when we ran into another group of Americans who were cleary just there to do nothing but lower the worlds' opinion of Americans.  It was nauseating to see and hear them talk rather explicitly about what they wanted to do to the Japanese women who walked by.  Seriously these guys could have gone to Daytona Beach for 20% of the cost and done the exact same thing.  As for the Russian, fate would have it that I at least got to see him bust his ass on the sidewalk five minutes later.
