Anti-Travel Tips: What Not to Do on a Train
How tired of these smart tips! Following them can sometimes be so boring, especially when there is an exciting journey ahead. Whether it's "anti-advice" - unusual, funny and also, imagine, useful. A good mood after all has not been canceled. Read and smile to your health.
Do not rush to be the first on the platform
To enter the car on time, it is not at all necessary to arrive half an hour or an hour in advance and maneuver with suitcases between passengers in the general turmoil. Having proudly defiled at the station along the already empty platform between the mourners, you will probably have time to jump on the bandwagon of the train, even if it is in the next car. Adrenaline will be no less than during a parachute jump!
Traveling with a child? Do not take toys and pencils
What for? After all, the child will surely be interested in the landscape outside the window and will tenderly watch the poplars and birches for several hours in a row. And you can draw and play with dolls at home, especially since there are much more interesting things to do on the train. For example, to do a hairstyle for an aunt-neighbor, fixing her hair instead of a varnish ... with tomato juice, or pressing buttons in an uncle's laptop.
When else to eat your favorite food, if not on the road?
Do you love ice cream, cakes and casseroles? Surprise your neighbors with originality: instead of the usual cucumber-tomatoes, bananas and sandwiches, put on the table ... ice cream cake, crab sticks, some of the most delicious cottage cheese curds, be sure to garlic sausage and pickled cucumbers. Delight the kids with cakes with custard and milk jelly, and yourself with Olivier, relished with mayonnaise. Collect everything and more - you will surely be able to absorb it all before it spoils.
Make friends with your compartment neighbors: they are probably good people!
Where, if not in the car, you can play preference and other games of chance? Togo and look will be able to win back the price of the ticket or even recoup the cost of the trip. Who is interested in chess, backgammon and puzzles today? Yes, and reading books, magazines and comics is not fashionable now!
Do not take bottled water with you: buy it on the way!
Why pull a few liters of drinking water if you can buy it at any time at the station or in the buffet? A small overpayment (two or three times) is nothing compared to vivid memories of how you, being in a slight shock from the price of water, hurriedly jumped into a moving car. In the same place, at the station, you can, by the way, stock up on food: pies with "meat" or cherries, a hot dog - why not an option for lunch or dinner? Do not hesitate to buy food on the platforms: do not get poisoned! Compassionate grannies and cooks of railway station eateries are very responsible for the quality of food, despite the fact that ... they see you for the first and last time.
Impress everyone with an extravagant appearance!
Why those dull shorts with a T-shirt and house slippers? There are people around, and you should look your best! Leave the flannels, knee-high socks, and rubber slippers at home, and instead put on a train a stylish miniskirt with a bright top or an evening dress with stilettos. A man will be decorated with a discreet business suit. But choose a tie ... wrinkle-resistant, non-staining and comfortable - you still have to go for several hours, or maybe even days.
Stop. Now you know exactly what not to do on the train, and you can independently deduce the rules on how to behave correctly. And finally, we offer one more piece of advice, but now without the prefix "anti-". Take a good mood with you - then neither gloomy fellow travelers, nor expensive water, nor childish pranks will spoil the trip.
