Today I would like to share my own experience of the first time going on a modern train. It was the summer of 2024 when my father and I decided to visit the capital of Vietnam. My father was a huge enthusiast of modern transportation such as airplanes or trains. As a result, when actually visiting the Cat Lin Ha Dong train station which was newly built in 2020, he pursued me to go with him for a day just to try the new transportation. Upon arriving, I was amazed by how convenient the station was. Instead of just using traditional cards, they used digital ones to track all the clients. So we got into the train much faster. When actually getting in, I was amazed by how clean and modern the train was. There was two air conditioners in the whole train and we can actually see our next destination by the screen on the train. Moreover, people were very hospitable and helpful when we were curious about anything new. They will help us to define what this means. I think in the future, I will use this kind of transportation to travel between parts of Hanoi. If I had opportunity to live in here.
