Train!

So, we are told we are going on an overnight train and there will be beds. Immediately most people start thinking about the Hogwarts Express and are really pumped. We were totally and cmpletely wrong! Aside from the not learning magic thing, the train was the opposite of anything resembling the scarlet train rom the books. We were first assigned rooms. There were six people in each room so we figured that they'd be pretty big. No. Each room was about the size of a small closet. We attempted to put the luggage away in order to make room for us and when that proved impossible, we threw bags on one of the beds (that were basically planks coveredin carpet sticking out of the wall) and decided to deal with it later. When we finallu figured out how to make the bottom two beds into benches, we got a litle more room to breathe. Some of us went into the hall for fresh air but with a width of about a foot, it was quite difficult to manuver around people. Moral of the story: overnight trains are rediculous.
