Night train II

This is a continuation of yesterday's post, sorta. It will chronicle my experience on the said train.

When the train finally came, I was stuck in the worse position imaginable: an equal distance between one door to the next door nearest to me. being tired and not wanting to go with the mob, I sought out the train carriage at the end, which had less people "queuing" up to enter. I ended up just inside the doors when it closed, and it was really crowded.

When you spend time having to work to stand up properly, it doesn't give you much time to think of doing anything else. I had my DS in my pocket, but there was no way I could manage to sneak some gaming time on the train. People around me were doing their own stuff, and I noticed that a lot of them had earphones connected to their mobile phones.I wished I had brought my earphones too.

On the topic of listening to music on your phones, why do some people turn up the volume way too high. There was this one guy who had his music so loud that I could hear it clearly, even though I was a good few meters away from him. Don't these people fear being deaf? His music was even louder than the sound of the train running along its tracks.

All in all, the journey on the train wasn't really comfortable, and I was relieved when I finally reached my destination. Note to self: avoid night trains, unless I get on at a less crowded station.
