And the award for most incompetent country, for the 2010th year in a row...

And the award for most incompetent country, for the 2010th year in a row...

....goes to Spain! En serio!!! I arrived at the Renfe station with 45 minutes to spare (after incompetent directions from multiple train authorities). One would think this is plenty of time to buy a ticket and get on a train? Nope! All of the electronic ticket dispensers were out of service, which left two ticket windows to sell all of the tickets. They also had no labeling system to inform people of where to stand in line (shockingly, the Spaniards were pleasantly standing in line!). I helped an American couple trying to get to Segovia to find their line and then my own. I got my ticket three minutes before the train was scheduled to depart, ran down the escalator (sorry tibia!!!) and the guy running in front of me pushed open the doors as they were closing.

Jjjjjjoooooodddddeeeerrrrr (or however you spell it!)
