    Since 2016, I've been travelling to a different country every year to discover

    other cultures and landscapes. This year I chose to go to India, more precisely
    to New Delhi. After spending a week in the city, I wanted to go to Calcutta to
    visit the Victoria Memorial, which I'd heard so much about. I wanted to book a
    normal train ticket, but as the journey was very long (7 hours), I tried the
    overnight trains so as not to waste too much time in transportation. I was a bit
    nervous about taking a night train in another country because there can always
    be problems. At first, I was very happy to see that I could still book only 2 days
    before departure. But when I arrived at the station, it wasn't the same at all....
    We were already having trouble getting into the station because of the many
    souvenir vendors and baggage handlers waiting for passengers.
    After 20 minutes I finally found my train in this general mess. In the other
    carriages, I could see people squeezing to get in, and some staying on the
    footboard. Luckily, I had booked my seat, which was in a quieter car. I arrived
    at my place and was very surprised by what I saw. I thought I had a bed to sleep
    on, but in reality, we had extremely hard wooden benches that weren't
    comfortable at all. I was already missing the soft mattress in my hotel... What's
    more, there were about fifty of us in one carriage, and the windows were too
    small to let in the fresh air. After this little problem, I settled down to start
    sleeping.
    I was awaken in the middle of the night by the snoring of the passengers. I was
    really pissed off and wanted to get off this horror train as quickly as possible.
    Seeing a light in the carriage, I approached the girl reading a travel guide. Her
    name was Camille, she was English and, like me, she was visiting India alone for
    1 month. We soon started chatting and didn't stop for the whole 4 hours.
    We compared notes on the night train journeys in India, which are very long
    and horrible in terms of comfort. When we finally got off the train in Calcutta, I
    suggested we continue our trip together, and she agreed. So that was the story
    of how I met my current best friend, and we now have a common dream:
    touring India together, but without the night train if possible... Finally, a word
    of advice: take the night trains in India because they are the basis for the best
    encounters!
