My not so glamourous compartment...
I’m on the overnight train to Hue right now. It’s going to
be a 12 hours train ride, but Vietnamese are more “flexible” when it comes to
time, so it could take longer.
Before I arrived at the train station, I already knew what
to expect because the railroads were built by the French so it’s very old, even
if the cabins have been renovated. When I saw the train, I have to admit that I
kind of miss Japan’s bullet train...but this is going to be a whole new
adventure. Imagine me lying on my bed with my laptop on my stomach, eating pringles with my morning breath and messy hair with some Vietnamese music playing in the background...
