Ever since catching the train so many times for the world cup soccer, i have been trying to say what you did in one sentence "a community that dies and ressurects with every station". With no other goals but waiting for our stations we can actually 'meet' one another! We laugh together such as when everyone shushed each other to hear the chocolate guy because he's so funny. One evening two young guys made fantastic music by rapping and beating on the compartment walls with their legs and arms!

great stuff Munya - reminds me of the apartheid trains, those iconic spaces of the anti-apartheid struggle that inspired the township song "Stimela"! good job in demonstrating that trains are indeed important social spaces of interaction & exchange of ideas & materials...
