Trains

Sydney trains. I hate them. They are filthy and slow and smell like urine. The people on them seem just generally unfriendly and sometimes even threatening.

I'm nearing the end of my 4 hour train trip, the worst end if it. I just got off a comfy little long-distance train, seated across from two lovely old ladies who lent me their crossword puzzle. And I traded that in for this dingy, smelly dump.

But you know what? I am happy. I could sit here for hours and describe the mess that is the Sydney train network. Or I could just be grateful that this hunk of smelly metal is getting me to my destination. To my family.

Also: thanks to the nice man who just smiled at me after I took my random photo of the train floor (and him) :)
