im on a train...

(train to berlin, June 6)
so i am trapped yet again in an interesting train situation.. i am not a huge fan of the train cigarette boxes they put us in.. i would just love normal bus type seating.. not the little train cars.. first off.. NO legroom.. the lady sitting across from me doesnt really care, because her feet cant touch the ground.. but god forbid i take up her legroom.. shes like a 5 yr on a swing, kicking gleefully..

leg room aside.. i am still intrigued by the couple sitting across from me..(yes the above mentioned lady is in the older couple).. i have no idea what language they are speaking, i think its polish.. but they have a giant tourism poland folder.. maybe russian.. but they also have a polish life insurance policy booklet.. i know this because ALL the booklets they have are in english.. odd.. i think.. but there is also one for hand surgeries.. the lady is reading it quite intently.. so i find this extremely interesting.. and looking at her hands to figure out why the supreme interest.. (its a 3 hour train, yes im bored)... well her hands look fine.. its the fact that she has 6 toes!!... yep.. there is an extra digit just hanging out on her foot, she even painted its tiny toenail to match the others.. now i have nothing against extra toes.. in fact they would just be added balance.. but humor me while i ponder the fact that she is reading a hand surgeries booklet.. these people are amazingly odd charecters..

there is also a runaway on the train.. well thats what i am calling her.. she has no ticket.. she just buys them on the train.. she has a suitcase with her.. and well she just looks like someone who is running.. she speaks good english.. but i feel like ignoring my fellow caucasions today.. i am too hungover to really engage myself into mindless chatter..
