Apathy

When my train was at Amsterdam Zuid this morning, a passenger collapsed. Because nobody else really did anything useful (they all stared at him), I had to find the conductor and tell him what was going on, so he could keep the train in the station while we waited for the ambulance.

Apparently, people think you should just let unconscious people lie on the floor...

A Few Days in Berlin

Last Saturday I went to Berlin for a few days, and it was really great. I had to wake up quite early to catch the 7:54 train from Amersfoort, and arrived at my destination at around 13:15. Then I found out that there are 2 near-identical public transport maps: one for the bus/tram network, and another for the S-Bahn/U-Bahn network (and you always end up finding the wrong one first, of course).

After I figured out how the U-bahn worked, I had some beer with dholbach, doko and danielk, and in the next few days did a lot of "tourist" things.

Too bad my PDA/phone broke, and that some people don't understand the train reservation system (the numbers on your ticket match the numbers on the seats for a reason), but still it was great.

Going to Berlin

I'll be taking the train to Berlin tomorrow morning at 6:53 for a few days of vacation. If anyone has good ideas about what I should see/do, please leave a comment ("having beer with \sh and dholbach" is already planned ;))

Train vandalism or guerilla art?

A few months ago, I was sitting in the train to Leiden, and I noticed something weird on the doors:
a "guerilla" sign: walk like an egyptian, and a "normal" sign: "warning: do not lean against these doors" on the inside of train doors

Today I was standing in the train back from Amsterdam, and saw this on the door:
a modified "do not lean" warning sign which now looks like it reads "warning: do not abseil from this door"

People do weird things...
