We have spent literal days on trains this last week and they are quite a phenomenon. The train that we were on had 6 beds in one compartment. I think that the hardest thing about travelling on trains is that as foreigners, we are always of great entertainment to everyone around us. At one point, we had literally 5 different men sitting on a berth just staring at us. Sunny was joking that she felt like a monkey in a zoo.Trains are a good form of transportation in India because they are quite inexpensive and there are so many trains going all of the time in so many different directions. It's highly advisable to have tickets or you can find yourself without a seat.
In between ministry times we tried to go to the Taj Mahal and we had to stand up for hours on this train. It was quite hilarious. We had been staying with a Korean family and the mother had prepared us some sushi to take along with us and so I'm sure we were quite a sight, some foreigners standing up eating sushi on the train. The Taj Mahal was well worth it, it was incredible.
