På Toget

I took the train from Göthenburg to Oslo today. While we wewe stopped in Halden the Norsk Tolkontroll came aboard to talk to each passenger to see if they had any goods to declare. They're just looking for the usual stuff, asking the usual questions. "Where are you coming from, where are you going, do you have any alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs?" They've got all the makings of Latter-day Saint missionaries.

They're in the second compartment right now (15:11) and it smells like they found something. :-)

I think missionaries would approve of the dress code as well. T-shirt, blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a gorgeous black cocker spaniel. Who really likes getting his ears scratched.

We're just pulling into Sarpsborg. Here's the latest in a series of odd-looking rail cars. A 29.2 cubic meter, 12 thousand kilogram container with a square opening running through the center of it. I wonder what it's for?

While eating out a few times in Sweden I discovered some more words that don't have the same meaning. In Sweden, pepperoni are pepperoncini, and salami is pepperoni. Today, I had a slice of salami (pepperoni) pizza with jalapeño peppers.
