Thread: Recent Train Trip

  1. #1

    Default Recent Train Trip

    My wife and I decided to go on an organized trip to Afghanistan, to see for
    ourselves what the place was like.

    It didn't start well as the train we were traveling on broke down just a few
    miles south of the station. We found ourselves stranded in a scary hell
    hole where no one around us spoke any English!




    The train, and surrounding streets were full of Muslims, angry bearded types
    glared at us, my wife stood out in her brightly colored sun-dress, as all
    the local women were draped in black, head to toe, burkas.




    We were extremely scared and convinced that we were in deep trouble.




    Just then, Dave our group leader ushered us off the train and around the
    corner from Dearborn AMTRAK Station to the Greyhound terminal, where we
    continued our journey safely to Detroit Metro Airport .




    WOW THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL!

    If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

    No shit! Scariest places I've ever been we're New Orleans, Chicago, Oakland, and Yemen. In no particular order.

    It's messed up when (3) US cities are grouped together w/ terrorist capital of the world Yemen as scariest places you've been!

    Really. My little town is 2500 people on a busy day and we live 10 miles out of town. Big cities make me uncomfortable. I've worked all over the Middle East and it's different but Yemen was something else. Management asked me if I would go and I said sure. When the driver picked me up and said scoot down in the back seat I knew I had f'ed up. Concertine wire around the drilling location. Bad move Ed!
