My Favorite Way of Travelling

I really love to go travelling with my family or friends, especially by train. There are several reasons for that. First, it is very fast and the cost is affordable. Even cars are not as fast as the train, and since the oil price is quite high, it will cost you a lot of money if you drive a long distance. And also, there is no traffic jam in railroads, so we can arrive at the destination without any delay. For example, it took around 10 hours for me to go to Pusan by a car, but it just took less than 3 hours when I revisited there by KTX train. Another benefit of travelling by train is its convenience. The seats are usually very cozy and comfortable enough for people take a rest, so people can be relaxed and sometimes enjoy the scenery outside the window while they are riding on it. Furthermore, there are even kiosks or small cafeteria inside, and we can use internet, games, and even singing rooms as well. It also has restrooms for each compartment. This is very convenient for travelers, because we don't need to look for places to stop by for having meals or going restrooms. The train cafeteria is not so much big and does not have many things to have, but it is the best place in trains for me, because I can buy some yummy snacks to share with my lovely companies anytime. Most of all, train is a great place to build good relationships with people you are traveling with, because the cozy, comfortable and a little bit upbeat atmosphere inside the compartment encourages us to talk to each other. If we travel by cars or bicycles, it is very hard to make a conversation with others, since we have to focus on driving. But in a compartment where people can gather around and sit in spacious and cozy seats, there are more chances for us to talk or sometimes play some games together. When I was on a trip with my friends by a night train, I really felt we got even closer than before through conversations and fun games we had. There must be many ways to enjoy a travel, but I think taking a train would be the one of the best way to make the trip more meaningful. Not only can it make your trip something unforgettable, but also it will give you more chances to get to know your friends and family members.
