I hope it was more often romantic than boring.<br /><br />I wanted to point to the different mindset that goes with the slow travel such as the one mentioned by Julochka.Ruslanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731615536008880123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-50745070607526382742009-05-04T14:22:00.000+02:002009-05-04T14:22:00.000+02:00i actually think that slow travel is the way to go...i actually think that slow travel is the way to go...we took the train from copenhagen to skopje the summer before last and i loved the mindset that seeing the landscape transition outside the window at a slow pace gave me. i was in a job where i might find myself in singapore on a monday and constanza on a wednesday (and let me tell you, there are no direct routes between singapore and constanza) and i needed the slow pace that the train journey (especially once we left ljubljana and headed for skopje) afforded. it was good for my soul.<br /><br />but i do look forward to the star-trek-style transporter, tho' i have my doubts as to whether it will come in my lifetime. :-)julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-14357094113877003032009-05-03T23:19:00.000+02:002009-05-03T23:19:00.000+02:00Sounds very romantic, bumpy roads and all.Sounds very romantic, bumpy roads and all.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-37949575137210017032009-05-03T22:25:00.000+02:002009-05-03T22:25:00.000+02:00Polly, it could hardly be worse than Serbia.

Last year I read that it takes longer to get from Belgrade to Nis (a town in southern Serbia) by train now than it did when the line was first opened. The same article said that the average train speed in Serbia is about 30 km/h so it's a far cry from Ruslan's TGV.Jelicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903146833019745969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962046968691436146.post-33638117138498427272009-05-03T21:04:00.000+02:002009-05-03T21:04:00.000+02:00I wish I could talk about the case of contracting ...I wish I could talk about the case of contracting spaces in Poland.
