    Amtrak isn't even amazing (although maybe better than what youd expect from America), and I still get super excited to take a long distance train. Its so relaxing. The last time I was on one was when I took a train from PA to Mass. to knock doors for Bernie, and it was two 7 hour rides but I loved it. You can read, you can listen to music, you can sleep; you can actually see scenery, unlike planes. Theyre so fun!

      Europe trains are the best. Seats, sometimes tables, power points, wi fi. At least a food kiosk and sometimes a dining car. And reasonably cheap if you get a yearly ticket or a student pass. There's a big movement there to not fly as well because of it. They sometimes go a little too fast, though. Once you hit 300kph you really feel the speed.

      I've taken one once and it was fun, but the price was comparable to just flying. Granted this was ages ago and flying prices have gone up a lot.
