On my way to Bremen for a PhD defense. One of the nice things about working in Paris are the many train connections. Today: Paris - Cologne - Bremen. One stop, no airport, no baggage to check, no drinks to throw out, no cramped seating, no waiting at a gate or security check or baggage claim, arrival and departure directly from the city center, good conscience. The price to pay? Longer travel time (7h vs. 1.5h on board). But, I can read, look at the beautiful countryside, and listen to podcasts.
