Glad you liked it. You're right about the trolls.

You should come in December. The 2nd and 3rd is December Nights. All the museums are open for free and there's a lot of food and things to see.

 

I've added that and the trolls as well.

 

Done. Glad you like it.

 

Added, plus the 12 who request location.
