I'm Italian , married to a Filipina but even if i like an Italian croissant and cappuccino breakfast sometimes I prefer dried fish, white rice and a fried egg much more. All dipped in vinegar, garlic, fresh chillies and a black coffee. I know this does not make me a typical Italian and i would guess 99.99% of other Italians don't agree with my tastes. I had this a hour ago. So good. Greetings from the semi jungle in the Philippines, literally in the middle of nowhere

The train was really dirty, especially the toilet area (see some pics), but also the rest. This is 1st AC that is supposed to be the best class of Indian trains. Duronto Express, boarded in Kolkata(Sealdah). Food onboard was good I have to say. Ticket was not cheap considering India is not usually an expensive country. I'm a foreigner who took trains all his life around the world including the Transiberian and all over Asia. But this is the dirtiest first class I have ever seen.Regarding this trip bed was ok this time. I took first class from Delhi Sarai Rohilla recently and there the bed was a stone and slanted. At least in this case bed was ok. Not here to bash or anything like it but just to present reality as it is. I ve taken second class in Morocco, Africa 30 yrs ago (and 3 rd class in China 33 yrs ago yes it was dirty too) and even if not clean it was cleaner than this.
