Den Socks
Description: The San Francisco Golden Gate Gales were a soccer team based in San Francisco, California, USA, that played in the United Soccer Association. The league was made up of teams imported from foreign leagues. The San Francisco club was actually the ADO Den Haag from The Hague in the Netherlands, coached by Ernst Happel. Their home ground was Candlestick Park.
Description: On a rock by the waterside at the Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, stands the bronze statue of The Little Mermaid by Edvard Eriksen. The statue depicts a mermaid becoming human, based on the 1837 fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. Some say she is small and unimposing, underwhelming even. Nevertheless she is a major tourist attraction in the same way as New York's Statue of Liberty or London's Nelson's Column. My advice is go and see her for yourself, and make up your own mind! 17th May 2026.
