Did I mention . . .

Did I mention that I fell on the escalator the other day? I've been so proud of myself for not being freaked out by the sea of escalators in public transportation stations. However, the other day my fears were re-awaken on my way to meet up with my team.

I was walking down the escalator, the only person doing down while three or four were going up because rush hour was over, when my it suddenly stopped! And, because was was already moving forward at a pretty high rate I jumped at step then tripped a couple more. This would have entertained the other riders enough, but I also squealed a bit making sure to draw attention to myself.

Why do Viennese run down escalators when things like this can happen???
