I'm still excited about flying on a plane even though I've done it dozens of times.

  The planes are okay... But the airports... omg they suck so hard. Trains and train stations on the other hand, even though I use them so regularly, are still super nice. I wouldn't say "exciting" but very nice. That's why I'm so angry that the French government and railway company keep making trains and stations more and more like airports and airplanes.

    I love airports. The people watching there is just phenomenal. I always get to my flight like 4 hours ahead of time just to sit in the busy concourse and watch the people. They're fascinating.

    It's interesting to compare a European perspective with an American one. In the US, the train stations I've seen range from unremarkable to downright filthy. The one station I found interesting was New York Penn Station, which I would favorably rate as on par with an average airport.

      European airports have gone massively downhill in the last decade. Try getting a sit down meal with table service anywhere. Nope, you’re queuing for a shit, dry/soggy brötchen. The lounges aren’t even worth it anymore either.
