trying to buy a train ticket in austria. went to the counter and asked for a ticket for myself and one for my "fahrrad."
older lady at the counter writes up two tickets. the one for my bike cost more than mine, i complained.
she dinna understand what was wrong, so i pointed at me, and i pointed to my bike next to me.
ach du lieber! crazy austrian accent! she wrote the second ticket for my "vater" (father), instead of my "rad'l"
so, in short, no, not really an interesting experience.
