Still, there is one thing I do not like about trains. It is this attitude of sharing your intimate thoughts with the people around by using your mobile. Is it because everyone nowadays shares open office space and doesn‘t want to talk private during office hours? Is it because you are constantly lacking time and try to „get few things done" before getting into the office? Or is it because you want to share your symbol of flexibility and trendyness - in the best case your most up-to-date iPhone - with everyone around you?
I tell you what: Sometimes I wish myself back 25 years to the times when I was queueing for 20 minutes to get into the school bus, looking and talking to the others around me. The busses those days were pretty stuck, I was lucky my sister came always early and blocked some space for me. But the most important thing: I could tell those days how many people were in the bus with me.Today, the train might look half empty, but still all these invisible travellers on peoples mobiles are occupying space in our minds. And it‘s hard to stop them from that.
I wish the day to come when we respect back public zones as such and stop declaring them to be our private living room.

Die Hochbegabung Since I live in Switzerland, I‘m taking the train every morning to get to the office. No traffic jams any more, no lack of parking space but lots of fresh air for free; in brief: I love it and appreciate it every single morning!
