Yes, it actually happened

Okay so I took that direct Paris - Berlin ICE today and I have a few things to say, nothing groundbreaking or anything

The ride is comfy. ICE3 trains they use are really good. Maybe not perfect (the automatically tilting seat was annoying after a bit) but still really good.

The first part of the journey from Paris to Strasbourg is awesome. You zoom really fast, it doesn't get old to travel at 320 km/h.

But it only lasts 2 hours. 2 out of 8 to get to Berlin.

The remaining 6 are just rolling through Germany, being anxious about the terrible things that can happen that will leave you with a huge delay or a cancelled train (would DB dare to, on an SNCF-DB joint operation?)

Views are nice tho. Especially if you're a silly creature like me that doesn't really like to watch or listen to stuff while traveling and instead likes to just enjoy the ride, you'll like it

But on the German side it's really obvious this train is too slow

It was very nice to take it regardless :3

La Victoire Est Possible

I love that the code for "why the hell are we waiting for a green light at a crossing when there are no cars in sigh?" among my friends is now a rhetorical question of:

"Are we in Germany or what?"

@ptrc sweetie why are you talking baguette

why is it happening to you

i did my best to contain the spread

Faith worse than death

Yep, being sick sucks

What an awful timing

I hope it goes away quickly ugh

Oh yeah btw I saw the thing

@timezone Switzerland should annex Germany

@timezone make SBB become the exclusively shareholder of DB

Is Berlin Hbf impressive as fuck? Yes
Is it also overwhelming as fuck? Oh for the love of God yes, yes

the ultimate act of rebellion for a German is to not segregate trash and only check mailbox once a week

TIL the French had a high-speed "freight" train that used to run until 2015

TGV La Poste :neofox_woozy:

@ryanc drifting in circles and setting shit on fire in the process

and they're both extremely confused why on earth would anybody want to go in *that* direction that they're coming from

Some of you I swear to god

Wake up sweetie you forgot your pills

yeah ngl i really like how basically every news on the dude has to make a point of "PLEASE DO NOT SEE HIM AS A HERO PLEAAAASSSSEEEE 😭"

not because he is one, ehh

but because the public response to fraging a CEO is largely positive xD
