Chatting in the dining car, I got two know two young men who were going to watch Eurobasket. Thanks to Wikimania 2010 and 2024, I knew their hometown Gdansk and I could even recommend a good restaurant in #Katowice.

One of them was a national champion in fencing! (I duly took a picture for Wikimedia Commons.)

I never heard of #Eurobasket before, but for the rest of the month I kept seeing news about it (usually I'm just blind to sports news, I guess).

This was a very satisfactory train trip.
