Several Ways To Live In Mexico City

For not actually being on a train, there's a lot of talk a lot about trains

Settling into their post-pandemic reality, Florian and Nick talk all about sport and trains. All the trains. Trains in Germany. Trains in Poland and Serbia. Night trains. Train loops! And shockingly, unlike several previous episodes, this was not actually recorded on a train.

Florian talks to his friend Nico who lives in the neighborhood of La Condesa in the heart of Mexico City. They talk about the current situation in relation to the Corona pandemic in Mexico and how it evolved over the last months.

Usually Nick writes something very witty here. Today not so much. Because Nick wasn't involved in the creation of this episode.
