Comments: no english

Nice photo.

Your observation of the absence of English is indeed interesting.

Yep, sometimes its strange to find English as the 5th language :)

Nice shot! I like how people on the station are all looking to another direction.

I like this shot. It is perfectly balanced. I like how just the right amount of space is given to the seat and the things outside and I like just the right DOF to ensure that the things outside the window are clear enough but not overpowering to take the attention away from the seat. Perfectly balanced.

I love this shot... the half and half split is great, each half has a different kind of quality to it

My memories of this station are not good. I faintly remember frantically running around trying to talk to a police officer and rapidly trying to communicate that my entire SLR kit had been stolen while coming to terms with finishing the final weeks of my trip without any camera. Yikes. Glad you didn't share this experience.

It is indeed a nice shot.

About the languages: I find it even more interesting that neither did Hungarian make it to the first four... it's because it is not a Hungarian train, but probably Serbian.

Serbian, French, German, Italian.
I actually do not like English so I am glad. English is a very simplified, lazy/clichéd language.

Sad that Hungarian isn't there, because their Finno-Ugric roots mean that their negation doesn't begin with an "N"

By the way, it means "Not Reserved"

in Hungarian: "Nem foglalt"
"Nem" is the negotiation... :)
