Trains

The Deutsche Bahn has got a few good things going for it. Taking a 4.5 hour train from Hannover to Munich isn't as ideal as flying, but for the cost & flexibility its really not too bad. What makes it a little better is having a 220 outlet at the seat with which I can plug in the laptop and watch a video CD of "The Incredibles". Probably a couple people behind me enjoyed the show as well, although they missed out on the rumbling of the explosions in the bose headseat. I need to see the film in a theatre now to get some of the nuiances of it, I'm sure. I can see why some of my friends on the west coast just went nuts over the film - was probably one of the funniest things I'd seen in a long time.
