  1. Got woken up by the troop leader of whatever Croatian cub scouts are called because they might need your other seat for the 20-30 10 year olds that are now in your train car
  2. Had a train for 7 hours with neither outlets nor WIFI
  3. Noticed that you and your new friends will miss a connection because of a delay and asking the attendant if they can hold the next train
  4. Ate kebab for dinner because that’s all that’s open when you arrive
  5. Used both seats to try and lie down to take a nap
  6. Somehow, despite being 20 minutes delayed at the start and almost an hour delayed to every other station, you’re only 10 minutes delayed to your destination, yes, you think to yourself, so much better than DB
  7. Had 5 transfers in one trip
  8. Had people laugh at you when you told them about your schedule
  9. Got off at a station where less than 3 people were on the other platforms
  10. Felt relief that none of them need to sit next to you, but then annoyance because you were woken up for literally no reason
  11. Realized you’re still not fine because now you’re going to miss your next connection
  12. Forgot to turn the volume down on your alarm waking the other people in your sleeper car who already didn’t like you
  13. Had a 7 hour train ride with no dining car
  14. Felt stupid for thinking you would be able to buy lunch between transfers and that you’ve been spoiled by stations in major cities because you’re lucky if one of these has a kiosk that sells cigarettes and chocolate bars
  15. Shared snacks with other people
  16. Saw you were almost an hour delayed to one station and resigning yourself to the fact that you might not make it to your hostel before check-in closes
  17. Were worried that you missed the only connection for hours even though the attendant said they would hold the train, only to learn the connection was also delayed, so you’re fine
  18. Came to the consensus that this is still better than DB
  19. Bought a reservation less than 12 hours before departure
  20. Needed to ask other people for help at a station only to realize none of them know your native language
  21. Met people who didn’t get on at the same station, but have at least 3 of the same transfers
  22. Got to the next station and realized the ask was unnecessary because the train you were supposed to get on broke down (?) and now everyone’s waiting for a new train
  23. Talked with other people about their train stories
  24. Checked bus tickets “just in case”
