radi6404 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Do you enjoy long trips with the bus or with the train? I do enjoy such trips, the longer, the better. I can travel with a train or with a bus for 24 hours and don`t regret it. For me travelling is one of the best experiences, because it relaxes my mind in such a way, that not a lot of other things do. Travelling is like meditation to me. It is like all the problems are outside of the vehicle and you are only a passive observer, who doesn´t have to care about anything, unless you are the driver ofcourse. But as a passenger you can relax so deeply, sit on a very confortable and soft seat, feel great due to the optimized temperature in the bus or train, and just free up your mind and think about important stuff in life. The monotonious sound of the engine, especially the bus engine really relaxes me deeply and cleans my mind. You get lost in the monotonious and quiet sound of the engine and relax even better. If the road is of good quality, you can enjoy the journey even more. For me travelling is really an ultimate experience and one of the best things I can do.

Rotwang Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yes, provided the bus/train isn't too crowded and has a WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpongled247 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I would rather fly, but still bus and train have their charms. Trains i prefer over bus as they are far comfier to me. The longer bus trips i have gone on i have always ended up with a sore a$$ and cramped legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 So I am in Germany again, travelled from Bulgaria to Germany with a very confortable bus. The trip was extremly joyful and a true experience to me again. It was really something to free up my mind. The seats were very confortable, the heating was set at high temperature and I felt very confortable. The engine of the bussounded really strong and great. Each time the bus accelerated, it was a mind freeing jounrey. The sound of the bus engine was like real music, it even was like taking some drug that puts you into a different dimension. We travelled through many mountains, the mountains at Bulgarian - Serbian border, the Alps. When the bus accelerated and we were coming close to the mountains, it was a really great feeling. For me travelling long journeys with a confortable bus is definatly one of the best experiences I can have and I do think others should try it sometimes aswell. For me that experience is comparable to the best experiences humans can have, some label xex as such experience, others label a psy party as such an experience.

abasio Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I travel by train a lot and it is my preferred way of travelling anywhere. As long as I can get a seat I enjoy it. I particularly like riding in the first class cabin with serving girls and beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 But why don`t you like travelling by bus? I find travelling by bus impressive because it feels lighter than travelling by train. A train is dependant on it´s rails, while the bus in on a road and can go where he wants. You see more from the bus window and can stop where you want. Also, the bus feels more confortable than the train, the seats are softer and the bus looks more like a plain from the inside. But the main point I love travelling by bus is because of the hypnotizing sound of the engine and because of the landscape you pass. For me travelling by bus is one of the most beautiful experiences I can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think we might have different trains here. Shinkansen Also only the bus driver can stop where he likes, our buses go on a scheduled route in the cities, the intercity buses take quite long and I only use them when I'm on a budget.

Tatsu Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I like travelling by train a lot. You can either look outside and enjoy the landscapes, street art of seeing different villages/cities or you can read whitout getting sick (at least I can). Travelling by bus is ok but it's not as much fun as taking the train. Mainly because depending on the bus I get sick if I read, the seats are also less comfortable and it also takes more time. I especially enjoy using the underground. I haven't been to Paris in ages but in London the cool thing is you are actually not only under the ground but also outside. Like that you get a lot to see of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for the responses by you people. What do you think about the sound of the train or the bus, od you like it? Isnt the monotone sound of the bus calming to you, or the sound of the train? The right acustics give me a lot of pleasure when I travel.

Tatsu Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 When I used to go to psyparties nearly every weekend we mostly used the train to get there and also to go home. After one or two days full of psy music the sounds of the rolling train sounded a lot like music. I have to add that we have different trains now, they are way more quiet so I doubt it would work nowaeays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 enjoy travelling by bus a lot, train also but bus is cool, more relaxing but one time in Australia i travelled 25 hours by bus and damn that was too long (Broome to Darwin), and i am a tall guy too i managed to sleep 1 and a half hour Planes: took it many times but the only cool thing is you can watch movies (on long flights) and the food that's nice. Otherwise no point really as you see nothing, but hey sometimes you have no choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abasio Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Flying over Siberia on a clear day is fantastic. Just looking at thousands of miles or nothing but snow and frozen rivers, then bam! a random fire burning alone in the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Have you ever seen a lightning storm from above? yes. but the fact that the plane took off the the middle of this huge tropical thunderstorm took all enjoyment from the experience and made me hate planes ever since. i'd surely appreciate a train or bus that can get me to southeast asia in 12 hours.
