| Train Station |
This is the train station in Odense. Doesn't look like much, but it is pretty huge inside. In fact, it's not just a train station, it also houses a McDonalds, a Sunset Boulevard (same as Subway, but danish), a net cafe, a cinema (also very huge), a bakery, a two clothes shops, two convenience stores (one each on the top and bottom levels), a library (again, not a small one), a coffee shop, a souviner shop... oh and of course the office where you buy tickets, not to mention 6 train tracks filled with trains going in all different directions over Denmark - and in some cases, Germany.
Around the train station are a lot of businesses, like newspapers, and TV2 Danmark, which is a major channel here. That makes it easy for commuters, although more often commuters use this train station to go to COPENHAGEN, not come to Odense. That's just because there are larger businesses in Copenhagen and, of course, it's bigger there on the whole.
Since the statues around Odense seem to be popular with people who read this blog, I'm going to find as many as I can throughout Odense. Trust me, there's A LOT. Danish people love commemorating with statues! |

It looks very modern. You captured the station in a fine way. I suppose it would be nice to stop here if on a train.
Nice work. Good commentary.
I hope you get to see the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak that came to Brookville, Ohio yesterday. It is the first one I have seen since we moved here 44 years ago.

Wow, what a clever thing to have a cinema and a library in the same building as the train station. If you have to wait for a while, that's really great.
The train station of Oslo also has a lot of shops, places to eat, internet cafe etc, but not a cinema. :)

Yeah I never thought of it being clever, but I suppose it is. There is also a hostel right next to it, plus about 3 hotels all within a 5 minute walk down the road from the station... so it is pretty awesome for people if you're stuck there overnight or whatever.
Abraham: I did see! First time in 44 years?? I'm amazed...
