The hotel they're staying at is literally around the corner from where I work. No wonder there were police everywhere this afternoon.
Zelenskyit majailevat hotellissa kulman takana täältä työhuoneeltani. Ei ihme että poliiseja oli nurkat täynnä.

Can anyone explain or have tips on how the fast trains work in #Europe ?

I'm thinking France, maybe north Italy Germany and Netherlands.

We tried circles around Paris milan zuric Munich then Amsterdam but the routing seems off.

Australia has crap trains so it's very confusing

@titia
Many things said.with regard to.english are aplicable tonother languages as well. And even the way sentences, questions and quotations are marked, differ by language. Almost every language has untranslatable words. With coulors and numbers, different languages have different shemes to name them.

Generally technology tend to be western European centric. It underestimates the complexity and variety within humanity.

There are languages,.where a word can be a full sentence. And so on.

It doesn't end with left running or right running also top down or vice versa and combinations.

Whilst one language by country works most of the time, but there are countries with multiple languages, who are equal to each other.

Yes to all this, except that monolingual countries are the exception, I believe, and the majority of the world's population actually lives in multilingual environments.

Even here in Finland, with just 5 million people, we have three national languages, and several smaller linguistic communities in addition.
