We all got metro tickets, so we jumped on the metro, which made it a lot quicker. But they pack in there like sardines. Uh the first one when we got in there, the doors closed on Tom, my father-in-law, so he almost got got squished in the doors. Had to pull him through. And then when it started moving and then it started making some abrupt stopped jerky moves and Kim's mom almost fell. She fell into a couple people sitting down.

[00:03:49]I grabbed her wrist and caught her before she hit the floor. So, it's been exciting. I'll uh post some more here in a little bit.
