  1. Had a 7 hour train ride with no dining car
  2. 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
  3. Used both seats to try and lie down to take a nap
  4. Felt relief that none of them need to sit next to you, but then annoyance because you were woken up for literally no reason
  5. Had people laugh at you when you told them about your schedule
  6. 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
  7. Shared snacks with other people
  8. Forgot to turn the volume down on your alarm waking the other people in your sleeper car who already didn’t like you
  9. 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
  10. Came to the consensus that this is still better than DB
  11. Met people who didn’t get on at the same station, but have at least 3 of the same transfers

  13. Realized you’re still not fine because now you’re going to miss your next connection
  14. 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
