I took a night train to Lisbon, and I freaking love night trains. This one cost 30 Euros (in addition to my railpass), but considering hostels cost 20… 10 to get to another country is pretty reasonable. On both trains I’ve gotten a decent amount of sleep. But I give all the credit to my earplugs. Without them, well, I wouldn’t be writing “I freaking love night trains.”
The people I was with didn’t speak any English, but I said hi and had an excuse to go to sleep. Super paranoid about my bags, I piled them by my feet and slept awkwardly.
When you’re on a night train, you have two options. The first is “couchettes” or “sleepers”. That’s what I choose. The supplement is a little steep, but it’s worth it in my eyes. Some people, however, choose to sit in a chair all night. Jesus, Mary, and Josehph! Wow! I’ve talked to about 10 people who’ve done it… and none of them slept one bit. Suckers. Hold on, I don’t want to get any bad Karma from this. Hmmmm.
Back to Lisbon. So far, 9 people have come up to me on the street and offered me drugs. One guy offered me poppers and did some pelvic thrust. He screamed “It will make you goood!!” as he trusted his… private regions… towards me. Seriously. Does my beard really make me look like a hobo? Probably. Ok random stranger, hook me up! Ha ha ha. I guess there must be people out there who say yes, or else the guys would have given up ages ago. I think one of the guys staying with me in the hostel actually said yes. Brave guy. He told me the pot was good… but that’s one thing I’ll veto if you choose it in my adventures. Ha ha.
I was randomly walking around town and came across this giant castle. Student entry was 2.5, so “Student Jeremy” checked it out. It was neat. Or as I like to say “interesting”. I’ve never been in a castle before. I wouldn’t do it again. But once was once and I can deal with that.
I’m downloading Transformers the movie for the train. Actually no. That would be illegal, and foolish to admit to on a blog. I would never pirate movies, and am adamantly opposed to it. Stop pirating! Haven’t you seen those commercials? It’s stealing.
I got to ride around all day on those little tram things. They are super cool! It’s like Disneyland. I also went to this bakery place and had a bakery thing. I quite liked it.
And yeah. That’s about it. I’m so glad I am leaving tonight, because I have run out of things to do. Lisbon is great… for a short time if you have a short attention span.
