(tom scott voice) i am in copenhagen central station
now this is travel
smh i cross the border into germany and immediately my phone loses 4G and i start hearing the GSM speaker interference for the first time in years
(it's okay it came back after a few minutes)
also hi! i'm germany now!
hey my third train, the one that's entirely within germany, is delayed. you guys heard of this thing called deutsche bahn? it's fucked up imo
and it didn't show up at the new time either lmao
> shows up ten minutes after the revised departure time
> displays say „Bitte nicht einsteigen!“
> everyone einsteigen
i love deutsche bahn
just arrived in berlin, hauptstadt der ddr. excited to learn about sozialismus (slowpoke voice)
hey what the hell they have landlords here. i was told socialism would be the end of landlords. what gives
(hi i live here now, for better or worse)
man… this kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanisn would be illegal to build in most american cities…
i came for the hyperstimulating atmosphere of dense and big, and it's delivering
if we're mutuals or maybe even if you just already follow me and you're in berlin and would be interested in meeting up then please lmk!!
@hikari I'll be in Berlin next week, but only for one night and everything's already planned out. 😅 Maybe another time!
@hikari Well, my friends had to cancel on me so I do have some time after all. If you wanna meet for coffee or something this afternoon, let me know!
(When I arrive in Berlin depends on Deutsche Bahn. My train is cancelled but there's another one at the exact same time? I'll just go with the flow. 😂)
@stefandesu ahh sorry, i forgot about your reply but also i am super tired out from another engagement anyway
@hikari No worries, I just went for a nice long walk and then picked up my friend from work when she was done. This won't be the last time I'm in Berlin for sure. 😁
@stefandesu sounds like you still had a good time :)
@hikari Yesss! I'm sad I couldn't see my friends who are visiting from Japan (they both got sick and couldn't come to Berlin), but at least I got to see my other friends who live in Berlin. :) Already on the way back now, very short visit
@hikari Don't live in Berlin but if I'm there some day it would be cool to meet up I guess!
@saagar sure, let's meet last sunday?
@saagar i bet this conversation will seem really strange to all the people who don't know about NSTimeTravel
@hikari welcome
@hikari Oh! I was expecting a Deutschland arc from you at some point but didn't think it'd be this soon
Viel Glück! (especially with being a hikari of multiple nations, dual-wielding locations, the stars twinkling between worlds...)
@hokaze “i gotta at least try moving to germany” was my one conclusion from last year that stuck, and uhh, while i had to drag myself kicking and screaming, things worked out
@hikari good luck!
@hikari we're happy to have you! ☀️
@erincandescent they have to do that so you don't end up in „Bielefeld“ and discover it doesn't exist
