zing_ochI'm supposed to pick up a friend from the train station soonish - she arrived from Mumbai this morning and the wonder that is the German train system makes it easier and faster and cheaper for her to travel north to me and for us to drive (a bit) south again to my sister's.
It's funny: She's the most-traveled person I know (though I suspect this isn't a word), and she has the WORST luck I've ever seen when it comes to travel. Terrorist bombings, suspected terrorist attacks, technical difficulties - everything. She's never been in danger, as far as I know, just always inconvenienced by it.
Now I'm watching it in effect. It's awe-inspiring: In Frankfurt airport there's a strike on, her train was already late when it arrived there, apparently there was a fire alarm or something in the station, and now there's technical difficulties with the train. O_O
At least she's on the train and just has to wait until it all works out, and I can see on the internet when I actually have to be at the station.
I'm looking forward to seeing her so much - it's been some years. \o/
