smell the flowers

admire people’s vegetables

have a cup of coffee in the geodome

sit on a bench and enjoy the sea view

follow the progress of the Viking ship that a group of young people are building by hand using 12th-century boat-building techniques

Which makes little sense if you don't know the site where the Viking boat is being built and what you see when you turn around.

A Viking longship emoji could also be part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

A replica is being built at Aarhus harbour by a group of young people using the traditional Nordic clinker boat-building techniques that UNESCO recognises as being part of the 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.
