shocks

Before going to germany, I used to get amazed by hearing that on western highway from pune to bombay, 100 km/h speed is normal and I used to think..wow.
But when I travelled 100-120 kms from frankfurt to mannheim, I was stunned when I looked at meter, it was showing 180 km/h and we were in third lane, means slowest lane. And in the cab we were not at all feeling that we were going at that speed. 180 km/h and still the driving is so smooth.
and some BMWs were crossing more that 200 km/h speed through first and second lane...it was insult for highways, if we drive at 120 or 140.

I was shocked second time, when I went to munich, i came out from train station. As we see in india, cabs or taxis just outside train stations. I found around 50 mercedez as a taxi. This was really shocking to see...

Trains are like heaven there. I was in first compartment, first row with my friends, means just back seat of driver. There was a glass door b/w driver and us. This train was not electicity train because it is for small villages and hills stations, so it was moving very slowly...and there is an instruction written, whenever u want to get off, just press a button above ur seat...nice

About people there, as far as i felt in mannheim, 12 days in trams, ppl out there are very responsible, means even if there is no checking in trams for tickets , but no body catches tram without ticket...it was gud to see.
