Wow Grace...apparently a lot happened to you guys after you left our house. Sure wish we could've come along with you sounds like you had a lot more fun then we did. Thanks again for visiting. See you next decade (wink wink)
WOW! What an adventure... sounds like you hand a grand times with your friends from Germany... how was the language barrier? What did you think of Darren's album?
It was great fun, albeit a little exhausting... no real language barrier... the germans speak and understand english very well and I am learning german like it's coming into style :D
SWEET! That would be so fun to see old friends... especially if they were from another continent...
So why is it illegal to drive on the C-train tracks? I guess because they are raised and not actually on the road. So I can see why it was a stupid thing.
In Melbourne we have lots and lots of trams, which run on the regular roads, and the tracks are not raised, therefore cars can and are supposed to drive on the tracks. We have "light rail" which is essentially trams going on train lines and then heavy rail.
The C-train is really just trams on train tracks. It's a pith there are not more trains in Canada.
