Odense, Denmark

I reach Odense station in the morning. I put all my luggage inside Odense station. And from Odense station, I walk to Hans Christian Andersen museum. It's a 20 minutes walk from station to the museum. You need to pay entrance fees to access the museum.

Odense is the birthplace of fairy tale writer, Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen

His Portrait

Hans Christian Andersen was about 1.85metres tall - 25cm above the national average. The longlimbed tall man, the characteristic head with its deep set eyes and the large nose did not come within the ideal for beauty that prevailed at the time. He was thought to be ugly, odd-yes even repulsive and his outward appearance attracted attention and makde a clumsy , comical impression on most people.

I spend 3 hours in here just to read the story of Hans Christian Andersen. His life is quite interesting but if you are not a museum person and doesn't really like to read, I think you can skip this museum. 

After Hans Christian Andersen, I went to Funen Village.You need to pay entrance fees to visit Funen Village.

Funen Village is an open air museum that present Funen  village as it could appeared in the time of Hans Christian Andersen. The Funen Village includes some thirty buildings dating from the 17th to the 19th century, all of which were moved to the museum from various sites in the Funen region. 

The bedroom

It is so boring in Funen Village and I start to picking up apples!!

Apple picking

There's no apple trees in my country!!

Wild Berries

Apples again!!

Manage to get a plum!!

No-way!!! I will definitely will not come again. It's too far from the city and the museum is extremely boring.

Went back to town to do some shopping, but.......

I thought I went to the wrong street and I ask a passer-by is this the pedestrian street? He told me yes, and I ask why it's empty? He told me it's weekend and I say so? And he answered, it's the weekend so it's family day. Nobody's going to come out because everyone eat inside the house with family.

And with this, I need to end my day and walk back to the station to pick up my luggage and call my host.
