In Munich for a meeting yesterday.
On the way back from Central Munich to the Airport, there is a point in the road where my taxi encounters a traffic jam.
Not being used to traffic jams on German roads outside peak hours, I am curious and ask the driver what the cause might be.
She keeps silent for a moment - and then, as the car swings round a bend, points to a beautiful big board which announces: "Wir bauen für Sie" (more or less, "We're building this for you").
The announcement then provides the total lenght of the motorway that is being (re-)built. And that is a huge distance. All of one kilometre.
Now comes the punchline - Estmimated date of completion?: 2010...!!!
No doubt the bio-mathematically inclined among my readers can calculate and inform me whether this matches, exceeds or is slower than the average pace of a snail.
