Prompt #4: What is your favorite method of overland travel and why?
I didn’t mind bus travelling a lot but after being violently car sick in Peru, I’ve decided that my favorite overland travel is by train.
With train travel you get to:
- skip traffic jam
- go at a slow pace with not as much sudden turns (so you won’t get motion sickness)
- see cute babies
- have more leg room than a plane or bus
- eat train bentou (Japan and Taiwan have these)
- sleep on beds (To be fair, China has long distance buses with beds too. I slept in a bunk next to the toilet before.)
It’s unfortunate that KTM (Malayan Railway Limited) has removed their private 2-bed bunk on their overnight train. I really wanted to try one.
I’m so glad I saw your blog now. I completely forgot about the blogging challenge! Will join in tomorrow, Day 10 :)
Looking forward to your posts.
I’m glad to find to your blog jus when i’m about to sleep… has briefly browse through ur blog on japan.. cuz Japan is so expensive (i’ve been there once) and I want to consider the Japan buss pass to travel this time but am so afraid it’s gonna be difficult.
