I planned the longer
weekend of 11th November long time ago. I thought it would be a nice
idea to go home for longer than just two days, especially that it's
not so cheap (I live in Cottbus in Germany). My sister wanted to go
with me because she studies German philology and she was interested
in the film festival that was taking place there.
Two days before we
went, we got to know about strikes in Germany from Wednesday to
Monaday. So, of course, there were no direct trains between Frankfurt
(Oder) and Cottbus and we had to go through Berlin. The trains were
going only once an hour. So when the train was approaching Frankfurt,
I was standing by the door to be ready to run and buy the tickets
that we didn't have. The next train was leaving in 7 minutes. I
bought the tickets without any problems and all happy run to my
sister who was going to the platform with our luggage. We met there a
girl and she didn't have the ticket so I proposed her to go with us
(we had a group one – for max. 5 persons). We started talking and
were waiting for the train. Then we heard a noise behind our backs.
We turned around and we saw our train leaving... Could you ever
believe that!? The train was so short, was standing on the other
sector of the platform and we didn't notice it. We all coded that the
train should be annouced first and arrive.
So we waited for one
hour.
And we spent some
more hours in the train talking like best friends so it was a very
positive experience. Every cloud has a silver lining.
