Hard ... seat at night !



On Vietnamese train today, you could choose a place between many different ... classes, ranging from a room of 4 persons with air-conditionel ( the best ) to hard ... seat !
Hard ... seat is the cheapest way of travel by train. There are just ... seating places in huge compartiments, you cannot change your way of seating and some electric fans always about your head.
At first sight, it is truly a very scarable place with a very complex community of travellers. But closer insight, you could discover it is a very enjoyable community ranging from children to very old age ... grand fathers, simply because it is very cheap way of travelling, and Vietnamese workers could never get a place in a room with air comditionel ...
At night, everyone try their own way to ... sleep !

Splendid shot, Durius, thick with the atmosphere of a long train journey - it also has the quality of a 19th century romatic period painting. I like the way the bodies are spread out all over the frame. Beautiful work.
First class!

Nice glimpse of train travel here. The train seems a bit cramped, so I think you have a good composition in some tight circumstances.

Great Job.
