the great dunblane warrior is getting ready for Madrid.

Yes, he's finally back on play the week after in Madrid. Will be interesting to find out what kind of form he'll be.

And rumour has it Larry Stefanki might just be his new coach. I guess we'll find out in time.

Barcelona looks beautiful. I have to go there one time. Not to see the tournament but just to browse around.

Oh Dimitrov wins BRD Nastase today. His 2nd title of the year and 3 in total.

Germans have a reputation they certainly don't live up to anymore. Especially when it comes to the German railway company. They still hold the monopoly on public railway transportation in Germany so they have been charging a whole lot of money for mediocre passenger service for years. Until a couple of years ago, it was prohibited for bus companies to offer service from one major city in Germany to another in order to protect the railway company from unwanted competition. This law was just approved and kept intact for such a long time because the former CEO of the company had huuuuuuuge political influence. Anyway, since a couple of years there have been more and more bus services popping up, offering really cheap transport across the country for really cheap prices. The buses offer free internet connection and cheap food and drinks. That's something you can only dream about on German trains which charge you more than double to get - for example - from Frankfurt to Berlin (about 350 miles). Due to the traffic conditions you obviously take longer to arrive but the amenities they have on offer really make up for that.

International bus services have been existing for years and whenever I can't get a cheap flight, I travel by bus anyway. So having the possibility to travel by bus in Germany is really good for me.  In my dear Balkans the bus is the only way to get around anyway... but their buses are still a whole lot more convenient than the German ones... but nothing beats the Argentinian ones in my opinion. I have no clue about bus services in the US. When I was over there, I frequently saw Greyhound buses and so on but I never got the chance to travel with them. I didn't have to anyway because I always had a car at my disposal and nothing beats having the chance to stop wherever you want to take a break, enjoy the scenery, etc.

Japanese trains are amazing. They are the best way to get around anyway because on the highways they drive so damn slow.

Speaking of train travel, one of my dreams is still a trip on the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Beijing (via Mongolia). I bought the travel guide many years ago but I still haven't had the opportunity to do it. I doubt I have enough money to enjoy it the best way possible. 

Totally agree on the first bold part.

As to the second one, that's very interesting. How slow do they drive? What is their average speed limit on highways? Here in Canada, we have 100km on average but of course we all go 20km over but I've seen people going as high as 140 but there's a huge fine for it if you get caught. And Canadians pay high insurance regardless so everyone tries to be as careful as possible so that they don't get involved in accidents or gets fined for speeding.

Nishi is serving for the match. Ho hum. What a sensational performance from him throughout this tournament. Who would have thunk it.

Andy's oldest fan. And his inspiration. How do you suppose he broke that 77 year old drought? Did you know, all the kids and old people are Andy's biggest fans and all the nutcases are Fedal fans? hahaha

Here's the real one.
