"cah" is bostonian for "car". the accent sounds funny.. i would compare it to the accent real amsterdam people have in dutch... :)
the free metro newspaper here doesnt bring a lot of news. it did already bring 2 days as front page news some wild taxi ride 2 passengers had last weekend. they came out of some club, didnt know where to go, refused to pay the fare and while the man jumped out of the cab, the woman somehow remained in there and the taxi driver drove on wildly and is now being accused of kidnapping a woman. his photo and name are in the newspaper (they even do that here if a college-kid steals some souvenir from a firetruck, or when you pee against a building and try to run off when the police sees you; crazy). during the weekend people often dont pay their fare, and then cab drivers usually drive them straight to a police station. what exactly happened this time is still unclear, so i expect another front page explaining it all next week. i guess kidnapping will not be punished lightly...
another ride from hell on a ghost train (funny what newspapers all make of it) happened in the netherlands. some train was dysfunctional and thus everyone was ordered to get out. the train then went with high speed straight from one city to another without stopping at any station. however, in one part of the train the speakers did not work, so all those people were still inside, wondering what was going on...
ah well.. i hope some nicer pictures than above for this weekend.... maybe i can take some around the lab tomorrow... :)
