On track in Bangladesh.

Early start on Khulna station 05;45 departure for a 5hr 30min journey to Rajshahi, packed breakfast prepared by the hotel found its way into the first rubbish bin I could find. Couple of cuos of sweet strong coffee and a mars bar from the kiosk. That'll do.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the station was a total contrast to other sub-continent stations I have travelled through over the years. No one flat out sleeping, possessions everywhere, neither street urchins nor beggars doing their best to separate you from your money.

In the distance a strong lamp pierces the gloomy mist, the arrival of our steel horse is imminent.

Well beggars can't be choosers.

The chairs were comfy, easy to fall asleep in, 5 hrs soon flew by

With all that sleep, not much people snapping, but here is Mr Grumpy.
