Taking a series of trains, buses and fun facts about them
-
I recently found a spreadsheet of my train rides around India in 2005
With prices and dates. I used to go on 40-60 day trips! (Stopping several days in each place..)
Will be fun to take screenshots and share that part of my train life
@skinnylatte I regret not taking notes when I travelled around. You think you'll always remember...and then, a lot of details get overwritten by new ones. It IS fun to look back at adventures.

@skinnylatte have you ever considered writing a travel memoir?

@skinnylatte I can smell this picture, and it smells beautiful

I’ve got my Aeropress, but frankly on a train I don’t always want to deal with the whole process.
I have emergency drip coffee bags of good coffee. They seem much more popular in Asia (most Asian specialty coffee places in Taiwan, Singapore, Seoul will carry a variety of these. And in fact I got these from a Korean coffee shop in LA)

@skinnylatte I'm going to need more information about this portable kettle

@skinnylatte I mean I'm not entirely surprised to see The Barn being sold over there, but still a little bit maybe.
Enjoy it! (the coffee and the trip)

@skinnylatte hello from AZ time! I am told the current weather is warmer than usual. Stay cool!

@middleclasstool heh, there are tons of generic ones that all work the same. They’re all Chinese, in the shape of a water bottle. You just plug it in and it boils water very rapidly. They even have all kinds of portable tea sets (like water bottles with a bottom that’s for tea leaves, ones with detachable tea cups..) Chinese people take our travel hot water and tea super seriously

@skinnylatte drip coffee bags are so good! I really should get some for emergencies. Aeropress is terrific but a bit cumbersome in process and not always practical.

I’ll know that I’ve reached a new phase in life when I start traveling with one of these in addition to my travel kettle
It would be so nice to have my good tea leaves with me and one of these

@skinnylatte We discovered these recently, but also found (a) teabag-style bags of coffee (no tearing, no handles, just immerse), (b) empty pourover bags with handles into which one can spoon coffee powder. Lots of variety, and more ways to make a mess!
I'm away from home for the next week or so, I'm seeing if I can do without any coffee at all this time.

@skinnylatte More of these, definitely! The Barn makes great coffee (but underpays its employees), and I think there’s a specialty roaster in the UK that makes these, but that’s about it for Europe.

@skinnylatte My wife and I once made a cup of tea with our travel kettle while we were waiting around at Schipol Airport.

@skinnylatte (I should probably blog post about this.) after spending a month traveling with a Tuareg family in Mali in 2005, I became obsessed with the 3 cups of tea ritual and have been searching for and refining a travel tea kit ever since. Transporting the glass cups safely is tricky, and a sorting a good, liquid fueled stove setup have been the hardest parts. Right now I’m using the small trangia stove because it’s so reliable and easy to use in any weather. I still want something smaller.

Passengers in the sleeper cars get all meals included, coach passengers can opt in for meals.
I’m a fan of their breakfasts, I think it’s a nice way to start the day and it’s pretty good (diner quality omelets)
(I generally like breakfast and dinner on the train. I don’t love the sandwich / melts / burgers for lunch. They have other dishes at breakfast and dinner)
