an extraordinary hobby....:-)

did you ever wonder about other people's hobbies? We all think they're usually pretty much the same stuff but on the other hand there are also those whose interests are much more 'sophisticated' hehe anyway for instance have you heard about a hobby called Train-spotting? II heard it was pretty popular amongst young boys in the UK. To me it's a really weird thing to do. So have any of you know people with strange hobbies? talk about it...

Trainspotting?

Nope, no hobbies. I lack life....unless you call sitting around doing nothing a hobby.

hehehe, I bet you have some kind of hobby too. Everyone's got one. come one. think.... doing what makes you happy? maybe watching tv or listening to music is your little hobby?

I have friends that make Trainspotting, well maybe is a strange hobby, but peculiar without a doubt.

I think that when a activity contains interactivity or provide a knowledge , it becomes hobby, a hobby is learn something without obligation, just for fun.






ps: sorry my english is terrible

In four words:

The equipment of a train spotter consists, generally, of a data book listing all the locomotives or other equipment in question, in which locomotives seen are ticked off; a notebook and pens, to note down sightings to transfer into the book at leisure; a thick anorak, to keep warm and dry in Britain's generally unpredictable weather; and an infinite supply of patience. More advanced trainspotters sometimes use a tape recorder instead of the notebook. Modern times have seen the addition of the cellphone and/or pager as an essential tool of communication with others in the hobby, while various Internet mailing lists and web sites allow for the exchange of information as well.

Some began carrying cameras in order to document more unusual sightings, in order that they be believed, as well as to "collect" the photographs as well as the numbers.

Train spotting is generally the early stage of the British railway enthusiast (railfan). The knowledge of the railways obtained by a trainspotter is generally the start of a larger hobby; many start taking photographs, for instance, merely to document their sightings, and become hooked, and before long are full-fledged railway photographers. Some turn their railway interests into a career. Others write for the specialist press, or become model railway enthusiasts. Others get involved in the railway preservation movement, becoming volunteers at the museums and organisations dedicated to preserving railway history and historic equipment
