Now I'm sitting on the train on my way back to Pécs. The weekend is over.
When I got on the train, I didn't feel like travelling back. Just because of the inconvenience of the journey. I can't get used to this. I can't get used to the conditions of the trains, the intolerable journey time. I live 120 km far from Pécs. I think, it's not a big distance. I mean, trains take it about 30 minutes abroad. But, unfortunately, I don't live out of the country. This is Hungary. It takes almost 3 hours to take this ridiculous interval. It was shorter even 50 years ago. Our trains have seen better days and our fantastic railway system retrograte rapidly.
So, I didn't hope anything good concerning my trip. I was in right. Sometimes you're frozen to death on the train and sometimes there isn't lighting.
Yes, it's true. Now, I spend my time in total darkness. These sentences are only in my mind because I can't write them down. The conductor is running up and down holding a small torch and he tries to repair the system. After an hour darkness, he announces he can't solve this problem that is to say, we have to continue our voyage in perfect blackness.
It's unbelievable that such a problem can happen nowadays, but it's true. This is the 21st century Hungarian Railways!
See for yourself!

I'm sorry but I cannot really read this text because it's full of nice figures instead of letters. Could you send it again? Thx.
Is it a clue? Good fun to translate it!
This is the reason why I don't like travelling with trains. :D Fortunately I don't live that far... Many buses come this way.
