I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned（皮肤晒黑）．It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday．My body couldn’t take any more punishment．My mind couldn’t deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages．
“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground．I said exactly the same thing the following year．And the next, all I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe．Ordinary beds are never the same once you’ve learnt to sleep in the passage of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep．
Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack（背包）makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social （不合群的），and getting rid of books when finished．On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks．All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand．
Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty social．On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France．But the idea of non-stop travel proved too attractive, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go．And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing．
We were not completely uninterested in culture．But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most viable sights．This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different．I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station．We were just there to get by, and to have good time doing so．In this we were not different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared passage floors, food and water, money and music．
The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name．It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulsing at the station and you are able to see __it__ with your own tried eyes for the first time．

As soon as I got on the train, I was taken along and introduced to he rest of the party. They were three Irish girls, a Scottish girl and Tony, our tour leader. After the bustle（忙乱） of 1 the train, I went along to the 2 .There were three or four people 3 about the door, and a girl told me to 4 my compartment（车厢） and said she would let me know when it was my 5 .
When I went into the washroom, goodness--how 6 it was! It had a tiny sink（水槽）, and the 7 was cold. When I wanted to wash my 8 , it was almost impossible to keep my 9 on one foot while I lifted the other from the water. It was quite a 10 , because the floor was very wet, and the soap and all my bits and 11 kept falling off the sink because the train was 12 so much.
My first night on the train was 13 , as I could not sleep, and when we arrived at Munich the next morning, I felt rather 14 . I decided I could not spend another 15 night on the train. I asked an attendant if I could 16 to a compartment with a couchette（卧铺）. He took me along to a 17 Austrian guard who put two other girls and me together in the same compartment. The 18 cost of the couchette all the way to Istanbul was only 2.50. The rest of that day's 19 was very pleasant, and our compartment soon became a little home! And that night I had a 20 sleep.
