So, I’m on my train to St Gervais. There will be a total of five different trains today. I’m hoping for epic scenery, but I don’t know if I will be able to take good pictures through the train’s glass.
I’m noticing something about accents. Many years ago, I was stuck on a bus in Jamaica where there was a Texan with a thick, hick accent. And he loved to talk about anything and everything. It was very grating after awhile. I could probably link to the old post complaining about it if I was inclined.
Here in Europe, that hasn’t been a problem so far. The accent are more exotic, and even then, I can’t understand what people are saying so it has less chance to be annoying.
Until you meet the British. A couple has boarded my same train and they will not stop talking. And now the accent has started to get grating. Why is that? The English accent is usually quite nice. Queen’s English and all that.
I should probably mention that a lot of of my posts today may be very inane. There isn’t much to do in a train except record random thoughts.
