'In the eighties and nineties it was a good place to go if you liked topless girls'

Is this from personal experience?

'fierce and fat king'

Love the description, though he doesnt look particularly obese to me :)

The buildings are so colourful, we have gray drab ones mostly.

Yes, very much personal experience. Back then topless was the norm on the beaches and also common in parks. I prefer that to now, where all the teenagers are sad about their looks and dislike to show their bodies to others.

Christian IV was a sportsman, so I guess that he was quite muscular. At the sea battle where he lost his eye he was an old man.

I do like grey buildings too, especially when they match the weather like they do here up North. There is a subtle beauty in it.

That's the difference between the UK and Denmark. Topless beaches are rare here, even years ago. I cant say I agree about the grey buildings though, you would probably like Aberdeen in Scotland if that's the case.

It's strange, but when I wrote it I actually thought of Aberdeen where I have been once. I did like the sturdy, two storey stone houses. There is something melancholic about it, but also beauty :)

I have not been to Aberdeen but have been close. I noticed in my travels to Scotland years ago that some areas like Cumbernauld (between Glasgow and Edinburgh) are very bleak and grey looking. They seem to like the kind of stone which causes depression. Its been a long time since I visited but this picture is the epitomy of my memory.

I know what you mean, you can see such things in part of Denmark too, not to speak of concrete projects from the sixties. You can find those all over the globe.
