🥰: met a group of 5th-graders on the train today. Spoke with them in their heritage languages ( 🇦🇱, 🇮🇷, 🇮🇹, 🇲🇰, 🇷🇺, 🇷🇸, 🇹🇷). They were so happy because somebody wants to learn their languages. They even invited me to their school 😍 A reason why we should learn more #languages!

@PicardyBreezer Now the #SBB has officially announced they stop controlling any tickets in the trains due to #Covid_19 from now on 🤣🤣 I am sure nobody will seize the moment and use the trains without paying 😬😉

[Olivier Winistörfer @Olivechkin]

Anscheinend scheinen die #SBB den Aufruf des BAG zu Social Distancing nicht wirklich verstanden zu haben.... Massenhaft Zugausfälle und darum überfüllte Züge zwischen ZH und BE 🙈🤷‍♂️ #coronavirus

[Olivier Winistörfer @Olivechkin]

@PicardyBreezer @xfl2020 @XFLDragons @XFLDefenders Yes, really fast game. Not sure about the accuracy rates, but definitely a promising format!

[Olivier Winistörfer @Olivechkin]
