Hello Mayuri,

Thanks for the comment. I’m pretty sure there is a similar style of train journey in India, although if you’re feeling flush then check this out:

Palace on Wheels

It’s a luxury train in India.

Bye for now.

Hi David,

I know this must be the Nth comment on your train trip but I cant help writing about it… It does sound very exciting!! The only cross country train journey I did was from Malaysia to Singapore. But I am basically from India… wonder if there are any such journeys one can make to or from India… something I need to find out :)

And yes Run Lola Run is an all time favourite too!! Saw it while I was in design school! Awesome memories!!

Take care
~Mayuri

Rob,

I definitely recommend giving Pan’s Labyrinth a shot, with subtitles. It’s superb.

Pans Labryinth…

A friend of mine Bob, told me all about that film and gave me his copy to watch.I thought it was very well shot and excellently presented, but gave up after 40 minutes…I took it back to him and said, “yeah, good film Bob but I couldn’t really get the plot, my Spanish really isn’t up to much”

How was I meant to know it had a subtitle option :D

You know that film well, Vivien, to be able to recite that song!

Lisa,

I don’t have any sound bites unfortunately. I am on Skype though at: d.airey

My accent is firmly Irish (Northern Irish - which is very different to southern Irish).

Ian,

You’re very welcome.

Vince,

I’ve been on the New York subway, and remember it being incredibly humid in the stations (in the height of summer). Let me know if you write a similar post so I can have a read.

Number 3 is my favorite also. Sounds exciting and relaxing at the same time. The only trains i’ve been on are the subways in LA, chicago and new york. Nothing long distance like yours though. I’m a little tempted to do a post like this.

I agree with the other comments, the train journey sounds great.

Dave - thanks for the link and the mention.

Not for nothing.. but being from Edinburgh — you wouldn’t happen to have any recordings of your voice just laying around waiting to be heard, do you? Being from the midwest of the US - my exposure to really awesome foreign accents is pretty limited ;)

I use skytrain in Vancouver once in awhile. One day I hope to take a train trip from Vancouver to Montreal and visit my friends there.

Yes, I’ve seen Lola 3 or 4 times, and wouldn’t mind to see it again. The soundtrack is brilliant there, especially the song “I Wish”:

I wish I was a hunter
in search of different food
I wish I was the animal
which fits into that mood
I wish I was a person
with unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat
that never comes to rest
…….
