Wed night train ride

Had a brief moment of charging my iPod in the train corridor until a drunk teenage boy almost sheared off my charger with his luggage. Then two other drunk american boys joined my six seat cubby, erroneously, but I don't want to provoke them since they're also overtired and frustrated with their alcohol induced incompetence. I really really hope they don't hurl. For added volatility, a grumpy, large and solid looking businessman just joined our booth. The train hasn't even started moving yet and everyone is completely out cold, except for this blogger. I forgot to mention that, of the two sweaters I brought, I've been wearing the white one. On my first day of this journey I already blobbed tomato sauce on it and didn't notice until way later when it had already cured to the consistency of concrete. Oh my. It's one hour into the trip and the ticket guy is here. He's so patient. He has asked the drunk boys about a dozen times for their tickets, each time again after they would shuffle their papers and fall asleep again! Then, of all people, the well dressed business guy lost his! The checker said he'll return later to give him a chance for a thorough search. Then, after a brief patting of pockets (revealing to me an Oktoberfest arm band) he too fell asleep again. Why are the lights back on? A sleeping mask would have been a wise and easy item to pack. Ugh, these seats don't recline AT ALL. I'm doomed to a lousy sleep again. I wonder where I am? Austria probably? He found it! It's a miracle. And I found the light switch. It's 1 am here and all I see outside are occasional lights that whiz by from small train stations. Digging in my iPod for a map of Budapest, I found some info on the various train stations there. Arg! Now I'll stress about the next confusing leg of this trip: trying to find my relatives in a small village called Vecses, about an hour from Budapest, but probably not accessible from whatever station I'm heading to! I got a $0.99 app called "Hungary" which bragged about it's maps. It seems to have one blurry blob, non-zoomable, as a country map. Regarding the train stations in Budapest, the app says: "The main railway stations (pályaudvar) are Keleti pályaudvar (Eastern Railway Station), Déli pályaudvar (Southern Railway Station) and Nyugati pályaudvar (Western Railway Station). The stations are not named for their geographic location in the city, nor for the direction of the destinations served by each (trains to Vienna, for example, leave from Keleti)." We just stopped in Teisendorf. Ya, it's unfamiliar to me too. Can't see or hear anyone getting on or off, platform looks abandoned. The engineer blew his whistle a couple times and now we're rolling again. It's a pretty smooth ride at least. Sorry for all the lengthy unimportant and unimpressive details. I'm just really bored; but my battery's almost dead again, which is a bummer since music may help... WOW, a very bright white and orange lighted train just flew past in the other direction. Trippy! It looked and felt like the last scene from 2001 a Space Odyssey. Aww, the two drunk boys are snoring and snuggling together like two of my cats do (the farm boys we call them: Squid and Diqi.) But I don't think these two are brothers? Should I take a picture to show them when they sober up? Sure hope I can find wifi later this morn in Budapest so that I can pos this. I also want to buy a phone. Unbelievable. The wacky ticket search routine keeps repeating itself like a bad comedy every time the ticket guy comes. It's a new guy and he said he'd return to check the business guy's ticket. Immediately after he left, the business guy fell asleep and when he returned, he almost kicked him off the train! I think he should consider putting his ticket in one of his eight pockets that he always checks first, instead of his ticket eating wallet. Ok, no power... shutting up now!
