they always advertise with "only 5% of all trains are late!" and shit but then don't conveniently mention that 15 minutes is the threshold they used

majority of connections are 5 minutes apart or so

so often you enter the station a minute or two late and have to run across multiple platforms so you can watch your train leave

I really liked taking public transport when I was visiting Stockholm

always on time and relatively cheap

hell i would have connections for cheaper trans-sib train too these days.. i just realised

i need to reach out for that shit tho

16 days of train travel tho

just the transsib and then the moscow > france (or berlin or or or ) added 7 days +-

i'd like to go amsterdam>moscow>beijing>shanghai sometime

ooh yeah true you could add shanghai to that too

just switch trains there

yeah plus it's a direct high-speed connection between beijing and shanghai

and obviously when nkorea becomes freekorea

iirc it's a 4 hour ride or so

you can take that route there and skip chinkland pretty much

poor germans

i mean i cant care less about seeing "distractions" but the train journey itself would be probly nice

DB rolling in their graves and btfoing the whole country

Would it?youre in a very small cabin fir 16 days

i mean private lockable cabin (like it trust its lock anyway....)

this is the amount of comfyness I expect on my next train trip

@johnfrum and shit ton of people with life stories, a lot of scenery you have never seen, (hopefully by then elon_musk_internet_services.wifi) and ofc the feeling of journey

Suppose, I like to get to destinations, the travel can be in a dark shell fired from a giant cannon for all I care

sure but if you aim for that its just easier to take the day and fly to beijing/moscow

but trans-siberia is all about the journey not the destination really

http://www.trans-siberian-travel.com/your-private-train/bolshoi-platinum i mean it costs fuckton

still can't believe it costs so much money to go from Antwerp to Amsterdam

how come that costs 52 euros and brussels to paris 20

Die Antwerp

@Tervy how many fucking visas do you have to apply for on that route

many

...

and im banned probly at least on one of them....

<:pepewot:589100642820161551> what'd you do

its a joke but i would not be suprised if theyd ever get a hold my work field or anything else related

this is why opsec matters :P

fuck my shit up

yeah I'll just fly scandinavian airlines again next year for 500 bucks
