Well, I would like to tell one of my, in fact, my only train journey and it was when I was going with my friends for a project I have like in engineering we have to do a family project. So, to display our project we have to go to another city and our university provided us with the Amino transport which is fined and four of our friends. Like the four of us we went through train together. So, it was an amazing journey because it was my only time in my life and I had a travel with my friends solely. And of course we were excited because there’s a very important point in our career life we were going to display our project. And it was our project is the only project selected in our university to display at a very special or very important event. So, as far as that journey is concerned when I went there, me personally I don’t like sleeping at public transport or like no matter what time it is because the journey was very important. I don’t like sleeping for about two days but I really sleep and I sit beside the window seat and I saw all the amazing scenery and amazing people, people of different culture. And like I think a train or a bus window can show things which very rarely a person can see. Like even if you go to a place that doesn’t define something as amazingly as a train or a bus. Secondly you see different birds, you see different animals, you see two things you can’t see usually in a countryside. So this is the most amazing thing about that journey but I think I don’t like about that journey. Obviously it was a bit frustrating to go to just another city and for this we have to travel two days plus we have to be super conscious about the safety of our project which was so important.

Well, I would like to tell you about one of my, in fact, my only train journey. It was when I was going with my friends for a project. In engineering, we had to do a family project. To display our project, we had to go to another city, and our university provided us with the train transport, which was fine. Four of us went by train together. It was an amazing journey because it was the only time in my life that I traveled solely with my friends. Of course, we were excited because it was a very important point in our career; we were going to display our project. Our project was the only one selected at our university to be displayed at a very special and important event. As far as that journey is concerned, personally, I don't like sleeping on public transport, no matter what time it is, because the journey was very important. I don't like sleeping for about two days, but I really did sleep. I sat beside the window seat and saw all the amazing scenery and amazing people from different cultures. I think a train or a bus window can show things that a person rarely sees. Even if you go to a place, it doesn't define something as amazingly as a train or a bus. Secondly, you see different birds, you see different animals, and you see things you can't usually see in the countryside. This is the most amazing thing about that journey. However, I think what I didn't like about that journey was that it was a bit frustrating to go to another city, and for this, we had to travel for two days. Plus, we had to be super conscious about the safety of our project, which was so important.
