#in the certified db announcement cadence

Taking the train is so fucking great! I've barely been on it for 30min and I've already seen a bunch of geese and deer and a heron!

#Love that it's called heron in English it sounds so noble. the German word is 'Reiher' #and the verb 'reihern' means 'to throw up' #also this is the connection that goes through the Oberpfalz and Vogtland and I love that connection #just gorgeous views from the train #also I'm not taking the Oberpfalzbahn but if I was that would also mean the occasional announcement in czech which is also fun #still fascinated that regional trains can do that and even throw in English for good measure but for some reason for the db #this is fully beyond their abilities in a eurocity #like the Oberpfalzbahn doesn't even cross the border at any point the EC starts to get operated by db in Děčín #and then you get one more professional pre-recorded čd message and then it jumps straight into #'Sehrgeehrtedamenundherren Ichheißesieherzlichwillkommenimec174richtungberlinviadresden #Dasteamderdeutschenbahnwünschtihneneineangenehmefahrt' with pauses only to breathe and enough background noise to make it #completely incomprehensible #in the certified db announcement cadence #you know the one
