Semi-fun fact: I once missed a connecting flight at Heathrow (the only flight I ever missed) because I arrived at security 34 mins before the STD of my flight, and was told everyone without exception needs to enter security at least 35 min before STD (there was no line whatsoever)
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

Snalltaget Malmö–Innbruck couchette booking restrictions are insane:
- Couchettes can only be booked on return journeys, i.e. no one-way bookings
- Inbound leg must be *exactly one week* after the outbound leg
- Interrail passholders can only make one-way bookings, i.e. not use couchettes at all
- Couchettes can only be booked on return journeys, i.e. no one-way bookings
- Inbound leg must be *exactly one week* after the outbound leg
- Interrail passholders can only make one-way bookings, i.e. not use couchettes at all

Crossed a special border earlier today: The Azerbaijan–Georgia land border, completely closed to anyone except for foreigners leaving Azerbaijan (and truck drivers)
The experience on both the AZ and the GE side was unexpectedly smooth, with multiple officers available to pedestrians immediately

I guess it says a lot about this country that despite the fact that the train I'm on right is quite crowded and lots of people are standing on the stairs, none of them dare *sitting* on the stairs, despite the ride taking almost an hour

In love with how plain and clean this pedestrian area is – no signs, no lampposts or any other excessive visual clutter
(Other parts of the pedestrian area including the one right behind me have benches and trees which is, of course, Good)
