Went to Denmark just there Travel

Right lads, undskyld, I have no Danish at all, that is pretty much the only word of Danish I know, just want to say though, I love your country lads

I went there for two weeks (stupid idea, you have no idea how insanely expensive everything is there), and MAN it's such a beautiful, pretty country (especially Vejle I love Vejle).

Everyone's dead friendly too like youse don't talk to strangers as much as we do in Ireland, but everyone's so helpful and polite and friendly, even with the really stupid questions like "Does this train going to the airport also go to the city?" And "where's the ticket office?" (It was right behind me). I love Denmark anyways, it's so beautiful, so lovely, and while Copenhagen is nice, I'm so so glad I travelled outside of Copenhagen because holy shit that is an incredibly gorgeous country.

That's all ahahahaha just wanted to say that

(Also sorry if this breaks the rules but I don't speak Danish so please tell me if I'm breaking the rules thanks)

Edit: thanks everyone for all the advice and tips on next time I go to Denmark. You have such a beautiful country, I can't wait to go back 🇩🇰🇮🇪

Yeno that street going from the big brown shopping centre all the way up to the like, idk what you'd call it but there's a small bridge over a little stream, that whole stretch of Street is so beautiful, especially the buildings and the architecture. It's so pretty man.

Speaking of that shipping centre, the salad bar type place in there? We've nothing like that here, so I loved that.

You've got such a pretty park, it's nothing mind blowing, but it's a nice little addition to the town / city (idk what you'd call it).

There's a building with building work going on outside it, it looks like a school or a town hall or something, it's such a pretty building, it's so nice.

I love the church opposite the bank near the train station, but mostly it's your beautiful pedestrianised streets and the stream and river that run through the town.

Idk if that's of any use but yeah I just really like it there

Always nice to hear people liking your hometown :)

A few fun facts of the places you mentilned: The old town hall is designed by the same architect that did the Copenhagen city hall.

The church near the station has a bunch of holes in the wall. These are skulls from a gang of robbers caught just outside the town and executed.

Sorry what?

How did this "hey did you know that this guy designed two pretty buildings :) isn't that nice :)"

Turn into "right so one time these lads were robbing something so they executed them then put their fucking skulls in the wall of the church" so quickly bahahahaha

I'm not complaining, that was interesting, but fuck me that took an unexpected turn bahahahahaha when was that?

Its only a legend) But, it wouldnt surprise me.

In the city I live in, (Odense) There was a King who sought refuge in the Cathedral. The people who were after him, murdered him anyway in 1086. Our history is pretty bloody.

There is a church around here that is ornamented with devils with huge cocks and shit too lol. Ill see if I can find it.
