Hey Quintin - If your Mom would just give herself a chance to get to know the real me - she'd find I'm not so scary. It's what's inside that counts! (All us ugly folk say that - it makes us feel better about ourselves).

Ross, I just showed your train station to a well-traveled salesperson for our company, and he says... "It looks like a lot of train stations." But if he had to guess, he'd say Gare Du Nord, in Paris.

Union Station?

Well Xarans, I'm starting to think that either the drawing doesn't accurately capture the place or that most people visiting such a place don't actually "see" it enough to remember.

Here are some more hints - I'm anxious to send that postcard I offered as an exclusive prize. (I am secretly hoping David King will guess correctly since it would be fun to send a Nova Scotia postcard to another Nova Scotian and he probably lives less than five miles from me!)

Hint one: The station is "central" in the city it is named after.

Hint two: The station is in a country that exports a great beer. Although it is probably that country's major beer, the brand is not as well-known internationally as it deserves.

Hint three: One symbol I at least associate with the station's city is three wavey lines - one atop the other. I have products with that mark in my home and it is indicative that they were made there.

At this time I don't think I can give any more hints. Try again...

I need to get rid of this stupid postcard -strike that! I meant to say "wonderful postcard". In hopes of giving the postcard a proper home, I'll get even easier with the hints. Even if you've never been there you'll have a chance...


Hint: Country is known for it's great modern furniture designs.

Hint: Men there have names like "Bjorn"

Hint: Stereotype is that all the people who live there are beautiful (and most of them are).

Hint: The station is in the capital city.

Hint: You know the pastry known as a danish? Well it was invented in the country.

Hint: Lego blocks! Say no more!
