    A few years ago in Paris I was waiting for my train to Marseille and the announcer was rambling about our destination like he were paid to advertise it. “Marseille ! its cicadas ! its legendary sunny weather ! the smiles on people’s faces !” after a while he seemed to run out of things to list so he went on with random stuff “its horses ! the ladies’ perfume !” I had a good laugh

      Was this in French or multiple languages? I ask because the trolley system in San Diego has automated announcements in English/Spanish, and most of the drivers are bilingual so they can yell at most of the people in a language they understand.
