Okay, today I'm going to talk about my journey using public transport. It is a journey to Dailab City by train. If I'm not mistaken, it happened about two years ago. At that time, I had my holiday vacation during the summer, so I invited my older sister to join this train journey to my dream city with me. After one day, we decided to go to Dailab City, but unlike previous journeys, we opted for the train, which is public transport, and did not drive our car like we usually do. We wanted to try a new experience, and my sister was lazy to drive. The train journey started at 5 a.m., which was quite early, but after about five hours, at 10 a.m., we reached Dailab City. It was a fast-paced journey, and during the trip, we could relax and unwind without driving. We observed the breathtaking and scenic mountainous area of Dailab City. We also saw the local way of life in the streets, such as street vendors selling their products and families heading out for picnics. It was a great way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it created memorable memories for me and fun times with my sister.
