Train Journey
There’s nothing better than the emotions and feelings that one can
receive from setting out an adventure. Journeys help us to forget about our
everyday issues. During long journeys, people usually feel bored. But there
are also some ways that can make a long journey become more interesting.
Five years ago, I went to Hua Hin with my family. We chose to take the
train and the tickets were booked days ahead of the trip. Our bags were
packed and all the other necessary arrangements were made for the trip. It
was a night journey. We reached the railway station on time, settled
ourselves and the train started within a few minutes.
I sat with my cousin sister and we planned to have a lot of fun on the
way. We started playing cards for two to three hours straight. Since we are
the only passengers in our compartment, there was no fuss about turning
off the lights.
Aſter a few rounds of the game, my mother called us for dinner. The
dinner served on the train was delicious. Aſter having my dinner, I sat by the
window. Since it was night there was nothing much to see outside however,
I enjoyed sitting in the corner hearing the noise of the running train. It was
a different experience for me.
All in all, my first train journey was super exciting and interesting. I
loved every bit of it. The company of my cousin made it all the more fun
since we cracked jokes and laughed all the way.
