 Spycrowsoft | But you get driven straight from city center to city center fast and you have your hands and attention free to do something else while it happens | 21:06:06 |
 zakadius | Cars have their utility for sure, it's just the fact they are almost, if not, a necessity in most part of NA. I'm lucky to be in a city that tries to improve public transport. | 21:07:40 |

You just need to get that high speed rail done and get over with it If only... | 21:08:20 |
| Dracocide | In reply to@spycrowsoft:matrix.org
Cause proper high speed rail is a fantastic way to get around I'm in full agreement. Delays aside, the TGV was amazing, though going through tunnels felt weird. | 21:09:15 |

| Dracocide | The thing that I didn't understand at first with it was how plane like some of the boarding was. | 21:10:49 |
| Dracocide | Like assigned seats and luggage storage. | 21:11:16 |
| Dracocide | I will say that the slower options were more preferable to me with how simple it was in comparison. You just hop on and ride. Though... preferably without all your luggage. -_- | 21:14:56 |

| Dracocide | It's the shift in pressure that's what I'm referring to. Entering a tube that fast... | 21:16:50 |

| Dracocide | Ah. Fair. | 21:18:03 |
| Spycrowsoft | Any tunnel needs ventilation | 21:18:19 |
| Dracocide | The train to Versailles was nice. | 21:18:40 |
| Spycrowsoft | And those trains are usually sufficiently large to be the driving force of that | 21:18:42 |

The train to Versailles was nice. Only been there by car | 21:18:58 |
| Dracocide | It was a nice short train, and some performers with an accordion hopped on and sang. | 21:19:50 |
| Dracocide | Only on a train could you get random live performances. XD | 21:20:09 |
| Dracocide | And I believe one of the vending machines in that station was how I was introduced to one of the best drinks ever, at least compared to US standards. | 21:21:48 |
| Dracocide | Orangina. | 21:22:01 |
| Dracocide | Who knew that adding juice of the depicted fruit and not just chemicals to make it taste like it would make a drink so much better. | 21:23:29 |

| Dracocide | I can't drink US Fanta the same again. | 21:24:02 |
| Dracocide | A bit off topic, I know, but that was one of the memories I had being in a train station, of all places. | 21:25:05 |

Orangina. It's one of the things I miss here 🤣 Soddies just seem to taste way better there. | 21:28:08 |
| Dracocide | I heard Pepsi was partnering up with Schweppes to import it. Idk much after that. | 21:34:15 |
| Dracocide | If they do, they better not touch the recipe. | 21:34:43 |

It was a nice short train, and some performers with an accordion hopped on and sang. The locals hate those guys | 21:48:05 |
