Germany Journey - St malo

Straßenverkehr(1)

Hi again! Last week me and my friends was talking about our experience about transportation and I think it might be fun if we share. :)

I heard lots of IAESTE student said that they had experience about missing the train. That's funny, because I also have that experience (several time). That wasn't fun at all at that time, but when we shared it's always fun.

The biggest experience for me was when I have to catch the bahn (train) to St.Malo to see my friends. Yeah from Germany to France alone, I'm crazy!

Firstly, I had to take the ICE train from Erlangen to Ausberg. Then I heard some German announcement, honestly, I didn't even know what happen. So I still waiting at the platform! It's cancellation announcement of my train! Oh my Gosh! Fortunately, the German man told me and help me finding the next train to Ausberg. It's in next hour. He told me "German train wasn't come when you need". That's Ok! I hope I can catch the next train in Ausberg. After that, I had to catch the next train to u but my train wasn't stop at Augsburg, Ohhh Myyy Goshhh number two! It's stop at Munchen (Munich). Screaming!! It's about one hour before my next train from Augsburg to France! What should I do! Then I was quickly find any train which the word "Ausgburg", then I found one and for make sure, I asked the staff there like "Das train go to Ausgburg, right?" Then she was doing like knot the head but she try to said yes in English but she couldn't. She said "Ja, ganau, arrrrr, exactly!" Thanks god, finally i got the train to Ausgburg! (finish for the first chapter)

Next, I catched the night train from Ausgburg to Paris, France. And, Ohhhhh Myyyy Goshhhh number 3! Euro night train, wooooohhh, didn't expect that. How could you say night train! Night train suppose to have bed or comfortable chair. But what I had see is the room with 6 seats, 3 seat in a row and face each other! Big screaming! Anyway, I'm to tired for screaming thing, so I slept all the way to France (some where in Paris). I woke up once when the officer asked me for the ticket and passport. I had to stamp another day ticket for night train! Oh gosh! I woke up again when the train stop, then I had to take the train to Paris but the officer told me that this train will go to Paris, If you have time you can wait. Ok, I'll wait. Finally, the train arrived Paris! Then I had to catch another train to St.Malo. Then, I couldn't find any terminal to St.Malo! What should I do!!?!?!?!! (Finish for second chapter)

Then I asked the officer how to go there, he told me that I have to catch the train from another station!!! What! Another station! Ohhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy Goshhhhhh Number 4! Bigger screamimg! Then I quickly went to Metro and find the ticket to catch the metro. Oh! dear, I hadn't any euro coin for vending machine. Then I have to buy at the counter! T^T Oh God the line is very long and very slow. Then I notice that I already missed the train to St. Malo. I was really really mad! Then I ask my friends how to go there, he told me that I have to buy another ticket. Ok! it was about 11am, the next train to St. Malo was 3pm!!! Ok, it was only way to go there. I had to buy a new ticket. After that, another problem was the ticket for Metro! I told you that I hadn't got any coin, so there was a man ofter me a ticket. It's 1.6 Euro, the same price as the machine. So I bought the ticket from him but he had no change for me, he offer me 5 Euro for 3 tickets. (Crying) Ok! I had no choice again, I bought 3 tickets for 5 Euro. Finally, I got the train to St. Malo no matter I had to wait another 3 hours. Yeah! Finally I arrived St.Malo!!! Hell! Yeah!

Ask me for how long for the trip? It's about 24 HOURS! 1 DAY! from Erlangen to St.Malo. Wanna see how far, check it out from google map! Thank you EURail. I don't need to pay any extra money for the ticket, just extra money for reservation.
