I'm a simple emigrant, and I like that, while being in Frankfurt, you can go on weekend trips all over Europe

It happened that my beloved Yugra Headquarters invited me to work as a correspondent in Berlin for the weekend. As many people know, I agree to such offers in about two minutes. And then I start thinking about what I need for it and, for example, looking at tickets. It turned out that on a regular train (not the ones that are super-fast) you can get there without transfers in a little over 4 hours and for only 40€ round trip. The departure wasn't from the main station, which I found out about an hour before. I followed the GPS, got there, and it was just a regular metro station, no huge building with a bunch of boards, information desks, special stations, annoying loudspeaker announcements, or even inspectors. Luckily, navigation in Frankfurt is excellent, and I easily found my platform. The train arrived three minutes before the indicated time; everyone just boards, no one checks a passport or ticket (it will be scanned later by a QR code from the phone). My cheap ticket implied “no fixed seat,” that is, you can sit anywhere, but if needed you’ll have to transfer, and if everything is full you’ll have to stand in the vestibule. I had to transfer once, not scary. Inside, the temperature is comfortable and there are cool leather seats, each with its own outlet and a little table. There was Internet, unfortunately not, but almost all the way mobile reception was excellent. About every couple of hours a nice guy would pass by with drinks, chocolates, and snacks, but I'm a simple emigrant — water and mandarins are my dry rations. That’s how I got to the capital, and the journey was brightened by music, work, and a book. #German_trips #work
