I just come back from Hampi for travel. I decided just before the 30mins of the train department. And you can't image that buying a ticket is a tough work in India. I took the train for12 hours and just sat in the general class. You can't image that! Even the local India don't sit the general class except the poor. The price is chearper than the bus. So you know what the environment! We had to fight for the sit. Some of the passengers slept on the stand of luggage. People lay on the floor. If you want to go to toilet, it's a big task. I had to find someone to take care of your seat. Everytime when I just stood up, somebody will rob your seat immediately. Then, through the crowd without treaded on people's fingers, hairs, feet, especially the kids. I don't know why the parents put their children on the floor instead of themselves. When I arrived teh door of toilet, I can see the poorest and dirtiest people jsut sleeping in front of the door. Believe me! It's true! It's because when we went back to Hyderabad, we got on the wrong box of train. (different box to different station. it's a little hard to explain.) We just can stand in front of the toilet for 30 mins. During the way to Hampi, some bad smell was full of the car. Sometimes it mixed with the smell of food. In the morning, people brush their teeth. The vendors will sell many things on the train, even baggers will start their work . Anyway, it's the real side of India. I really enjoy my trip. I am really afraid, for my English. I can't understand what my boss spoke! So I try to keep in diary in English and reading newspaper everyday. I think I should start to listen TOEFL once in a while. I hope you can finish it. --
