TRAIN RIDE FROM HELL

Ha, ha, ha, I'm staying in the Pest side of the city in a Hostel called Mellow Mood. well, mellow is not. I've met a lot of people and have not slept, guess what I drink.....beer! here is even cheaper than in Praha.

The train ride was horrible because it was overnight, nothing wrong with that, but I could not sleep because they were coming to check passport and tickets every 5 minutes almost. At the beginning of the trip 3 czeck policement came into my compartment and told me to be careful with my things because things get stolen. Then some idiots were smoking and the whole cart stunk. It was a very old, dirty train decorated with pictures of TARANTULAS - I'm not kidding- and bed bugs blown up 100 million times, nice eh? I close the door and went to sleep with all my things by my side, my bag around my arm, and all the precautions. At some point I woke up to see 3 guys about 2 meters tall and 300 pounds sitting infront of me watching, the police came and got into a fight with them and kicked them out of my compartment and the section of the train. At aroun 4 am another ticket check point the guy woke me up and surpirse.....my bag was gone!!! I fricked out....the attendant went to talk to a couple of women in thenext compartment and they had it... they said that they found it there with everything out of the floor. the camera was there and some postcards and copies of all my ID, and nothing was missing, not one penny, but that was really freaky...for god sakes, I had the bag handle wrapped around my arm!! and I didn't feeel when they took it, and on top of that, I had bought a bag of chips in case I got hungry, had eaten about 1/3 and they ate it!! can you believe it. So of course I did not fall asleep again. Arrived to Budapest, found a hostel and went to sleep at around 10:30 am!!
