in Krakow

just arrived in Krakow,

last night i took the night train from Wien Suedbhf at 1033 forward to Poland,
It took about 8 hours to get here.
this time i bought the ticket for a "liegenwagen"
before i got on the train, i still wondered what is the diff between liegenwagen and schlafswagen,
cuz it seems to be the same kind,
schlafswagen apparently means those cabin with beds to sleep,
but liegenwagen also means the passengers can lie down somewhere,
(liegen is the word of lie down in german)
so...i don't think the train company will think it's a good idea to ask the passengers to lay down on the floor, so there must be something like bed?
anyway, i got the answer last night,
it just a small normal cabin with six beds in 3 levels,
i got the toppest one.
i am used to sleep in this kind of room, cuz of the 7 years living in the dorm,
but this cabin still made me feel uncomfortable,
i can even hardly to "sit" on my bed,
cuz it is too close to the ceiling and i have to bow my body all the time,
or just lie down!!
it's extremely difficult to set the bed,
i had to try to move my body to set the bed sheet in such a small place and also to be ware of not hitting the ceiling.
anyway, after this,
i just gave up to sit or do anyway normal movement on this bed,
simply lie down!!
now i know why they call this cabin as liegenwagen,
because the thing you can only do is to lie on the bed.....
however, it's still better to have a bed than just seat,
especially for overnight train,
i watched a japanese tv show, around 40,
and then tried to fall asleep,

arrived in Krakow around 6.30 am.
it's good to see the sunrise, i hate to get or leave in the darkness,
the hostel is just right in front of the train station...well
exactly speaking, in front of the shopping center which is in front of the train station,
though the outside is a bit scaring, inside is very cozy,
nice common room with big LCD TV and several free computers with access to internet (of course! or what are the computers here for?)
and also the best kitchen i every saw in hostel.
they even serve spoilt eggs!
breakfest included and also supper(i'm not sure how "luxurious" it is...)
ok, after taking a nice shower and breakfest,
i feel sleepy again,
now i'm still thinking if i take a nap before checking out this town?
let's see.


ps: oh. now it is cloudy, so unhappy!
