Darmstadt - 105

It's a train thing. I do that on the trains. Either I read or sleep. Sometimes I snack on a little something.

That's kinda how I maximise my time. After I set a "no-photography" on the train rule after I saw a group of tourists bundle up the Inter City and filming everything in sight. There are some things that are not meant to be photographed, but to be experienced there. If everything was recorded or photographed, there would be no need to travel. Just search online for a photograph of the train interior and visualise yourself sitting in that seat. See? Instant vacation.

And there are people who complain that they can't find anything nice after having searched about all related information on the Internet. No wonder they can't find anything. In your mindless searching you have killed the surprises in store.

Take the trains as much as I want now, before going back to the monotony of the MRT.. But looking at the spate of recent breakdowns, and traffic jams on the roads, I am still better off walking on my own...

Any city with its own subway system within the city is too big for me, I prefer a small city or large town unexpanded to that extent.

It's a killjoy to find a huge shopping center next to your favorite part of the city, the reasons why you liked it in the first place would be eventually be replaced by a revenue to earn money...

That's where the book comes in handy. To hide your disappointment and return to the world where you always belonged in, and no one can say anything...
