Trains and Transport in Germany



View of suburban Germany from the train

The six hour train ride from Paris to Munich was an experience in itself. Not only was the view of German countryside incredible but I was fascinated by the most ordinary things on the train, like the pink toilet paper. Also, shortly after we boarded we were surprised with a complimentary meal of yogurt, cheese, grapes, scones and coffee completed with miniature utensils, mugs, and goblets.

Munich's indoor train station was alive with tourists, commuters, food stands and arriving trains. To keep you entertained while waiting for your ride there were plenty of shops and interesting food vendors, not to mention a condom dispenser in the restrooms that also offered vibrators and edible thongs... in case you had an especially long ride ahead of you.



Metro in Munich

In any country, public transportation is not only an economical way to explore without the stress of driving, but also a great way to observe the locals. What I found most notable about the locals in Germany were their ornately tailored shoes and leather bags - everything looked as though it'd been made by elves!
