Mhhh Ok, my city is located between Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. by driving it's 25 minutes to both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. You can't travel direct to Jerusalem by the train, first you need to take train to Tel Aviv and from there you can find trains to Jerusalem.

In my home town in Poland we have awful trains... just like nearly everywhere in Poland. The only good train lines are Warsaw-Kraków-Katowice and Warsaw-Lodz where they match their western rivals :cool:

The newest trains running in Starogard are probably from the 1930s. It takes like 2 hours to get to Gdansk which is 60km away and only 40 minutes away by car. It's only useful when there's traffic, really.

Don't say that! Travelling by train is such a pleasure even if it's the older ones. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! :mrgreen:

In Bucharest we have an urban train that goes from the East Train Station (Obor) to the Main Train Staion (Noth Train Station). Sometimes in spring, when I have nothing else to do I just go with the urban train :lol: :lol:

Reminds me of a ride I did with some friends here in Berlin. There are two lines which form the circle line (one line drives clockwise, the other one anticlockwise) around the city center and we got on one train, drove clockwise around the city center, changed the train at the station we started and drove anticlockwise then... also a funny way to spend the afternoon :lol:

So cool! When I'm bored, I could use the metro line we have until now (14 stations, I believe) and travel from one end of the city to the other and then get off at the centre. I don't live in some suburbs. :lol: In a couple of years (3-4) there should be a whole new line and some stops added to the current one. :mrgreen:

I live in Visoko, a little city 30 kilometars from Sarajevo. I hope someone has heard of the pyramids can be found here (and maybe someone came to see). Otherwise I was born in Zagreb, but I study in Sarajevo. :) Well, the Vsisoko is a small town, there are no landmarks, except the pyramids. Recently, the visit was fair, then it is a carousel, racing cars ... Luna Park.
