Des trains pas comme les autres

I enjoyed the journeys of Philippe Gougler, because I like travel by train and Philippe has shown us very famous and mythical trains.

But Philippe travels also on ordinary trains and meets there a lot of interesting people.

The encounters are the main point in these doducmentaries: very interesting encounters in very differents countries: the young Japanese at the Hanami festival in Japan,the miner of Potosi, the buddhist nun in Vietnam, the marathon runner in Namibia, the female healer in South Africa, the priest and builder in Romania or the Lolita girls in Taiwan.

Philippe has tasted strange foods in Norway, Sweden, Ecuador, South Korea and Cambodia, has shared the lives of of hunters in Sri Lanka and has danced square dance in Vienna.

Besides he has spoken with train passengers about their countries ( hope in South Africa, the smile in Thailand and Vietnam, the social restaint in Japon ).
