European Tribune - Comments - Monday Train blogging

Monday Train blogging | 38 comments (38 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

from a Far East train fanatic. My dream at the age of 14 was to ride le Mistral from Paris to Nice with a mistress (who must look like Mylene Demongeot) in a first class compartment. I was distressed when they introduced TGV and abolished Trans Europe Express, so the dream hasn't come true, yet.

I will become a patissier, God willing.

I don't know about Mylene, guess you might have to adjust that part of your dream - she was already famous when I was a teenager, hence she might not fit the image of a mistress anymore. :-)

I hope you and Zwackus will post some Japanese stuff in further posts, especially other than Shinkansen!
