tram to russia

hadn't it been for the tram driver shouting at people to clear the doors in most original bavarian, I truly would have believed this tram travelling to some russian city. it seemed highly bizarre that on a half hour's ride each group of people that entered the train started to speak in russian, on the phone, to each other...
it was like in a science fiction movie, where everything at first seems to be as always, until one notices that in fact under the surface everything is substantially different.

you've just been punk'd!

P.S. Ridiculously, but I've found using Russian quite handy for several times here in Vienna - and they are twice as forthcoming when you ask them smthn in their language ;).

well... i dont know if it will help me much to learn it, i'm not travelling this route everyday. but i guess it could serve as an incentive to resume studies (if i just had that bit more time at disposal ;)
