We knew things were going to get hectic here (3 cities in 2 days), but yeeesh! First of all, once again we've managed to pick the Orient Express. We just spent 3 days in Vienna and saw maybe 10 asians and all of the sudden there's 200 of them on our platform. Where do they come from? Do they just bounce from station to station taking over every nighttrain out of the city? Someone needs to answer this.
Things started out ok, as we left the platform we actually had a 6-person sleeper to ourselves, so we thought there was a good chance we'd get a few more backpackers to hang out with. WRONG. After 2 stops, in walks 4 asian people, none under the age of 52. Oh boy. So we get a night of peeling and loudly chewing vegetables, dirty looks b/c we dared to ask if we could turn off the light, and crammed sleep b/c for some reason it was decided that no one over 5'10" would use the top bunk.
I guess that puts us 1-1 on nighttrains. And we're ready to crash and burn, We'll never learn...:-)
