After the sunset we took a train back to our hosts’ apartment and the train journey was a new experience too. First of all there are separate carriages for men and women, it’s because the trains are overcrowded and this prevents women from being touched by men. Then there's a lot of pushing that I have never experienced before, due to too many people who want to travel, people push when they want to get off and then new set of people push to get in. Despite this it was still a good experience for us; well… not if we did it every day. People were very friendly, for example a woman gave up a good standing spot for me so I would not be pushed by others all the time, and she was pushed instead.
