So basically, today the plan was basically to ride the train for seven hours from Prague to Budapest. We got to the train station and there was a picture of Hilary Clinton on the TV monitors. We were all wondering if she had lost or won, but the story was in Czech so we had no idea. None of the important words remotely resembled anything in English. When Corinne and I got in line for tickets I said kind of loudly, “We should fine some Czech person who speaks English to translate the story for us.” The woman behind us overheard, and informed us that she was no longer in the election. Afterwards we waited on the train platform for our train. While we were waiting, another tourist came up to us and asked us what time it was, after getting off the train in Budapest and walking about half way to our hostel, the same guy was walking right behind us. It was so weird. Most of the people on the train got off way before Budapest, in fact we were three of about seven people in our train car upon arrival.
The train ride was long, but we managed to entertain ourselves. First of all, we had a ton of food because we had “cashed out” of Czech currency the day before. We had Hannah to listen to, and we were constantly trying to figure out how to get our own compartment, which we succeeded in for probably about two 
or three hours of the trip. Towards the end of the trip we were getting kind of restless so we went out of our compartment to walk around the car a little and realized that there was no one there. Sarah made up a game to play in the hallway where we each stood still without moving our feet and without touching the walls to see who could stay up the longest. Corinne lost almost right away, but then we started again. After about fifteen minutes of standing, switching directions occasionally to make it harder, we decided to switch to one foot. Once again, Corinne lost almost right away, followed by Sarah in a few more minutes.
We got off the train, ran into train station kid, and went basically directly to our hostel without stopping for food. Once we got here we decided not to leave for food again and to just eat what we had left over. We updated the blog and basically went to bed. Oh, for those of you who don’t know, the EuroCup is going on right now. There was a big screen set up about 100 meters from our window and we could here shouting and yelling until pretty late. It must have been an exciting game.
