How to spend time on the train during a long journey?

When I am in a bad mood, I like to travel. However, I don’t like flying. Instead, I like taking the train. Because I can see the scenery along the way, and seeing the scenery makes me feel much better. But taking the train has a disadvantage, it is relatively slow. Normally, it takes several hours to take a train to go to a scenic spot. If the distance is far, it will take about ten hours by train. Taking a train for a long time is very boring. How to spend the time on the train happily?

First, chat with friends while eating snacks. If I travel with friends, I will buy a big bag of snacks near the train station, such as spicy sticks, French fries, bread, etc., and chat with my friends while eating snacks. What topic are we talking about? From my personal experience, when talking about travel strategies, it feels like time flies by very quickly. For example, what specialties should I buy when going to tourist attractions? What kind of food do you want to eat? Which attractions should you visit? Should you take photos and post them on Moments, or take short videos and post them on video platforms? Talking about travel strategies will not make you feel bored at all, but will make you more and more excited as you talk.

Second, eat snacks while watching TV series or playing games. I want to travel, but my friend is busy with work and can't spare time to go with me. Therefore, I travel alone quite a lot. Taking a train alone can be a bit boring. Under normal circumstances, considering that the Internet speed on the train is not good, I will download some TV series and games on my mobile phone in advance. When I’m bored, it’s quite fun to eat snacks and watch TV series. However, in the past year, I don’t like watching TV series anymore. I will bring one or two books with me and read them on the train. If you read the book carefully, you will feel that time flies by so fast and you will be at the site in no time. You will not be bored at all.

Third, put on headphones and an eye mask to sleep. If the train ride is short, I will read a book. If the train ride takes a long time, I will choose to sleep. I like to listen to light music, put on headphones and eye masks, and I can fall asleep in more than ten minutes. Set your alarm in advance and get up and leave when you get to the site.

Everyone has different interests and hobbies, and the way I spend my time may not be suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is good to refer to the above methods appropriately.
