There’s a bunch of jumpy Bois in front of my hotel!

They look kinda like rocks or something, but nah, they’re all jumpies!

The train trip included a fancy dinner and drinks with the train crew. Obviously I can’t drink [:(], so I just had a bottle of Pepsi Max to look the part. I also had to learn how to do fancy eating. Dinner and meal manners aren’t something I’ve ever had to use before, so I never learnt them. But I feel under qualified to eat dinner now to be honest. I’ve never put a napkin thing in my lap, or wiped my face with a black cloth, or had 3 different knives + 3 different forks + 2 spoons + 3 glasses before. I was also the only person at my table under 50 (seriously, that’s not a hyperbole), so that makes it harder to know how to act and what to do.

I mean it was a good experience, and I’m happy that I did it, but there’s so many generational differences that it gets really hard to know what to do or say and how to act. 1 lady was super nice, but the dude next to me shouted at me to not play with my food (there was a flower on my dessert and I was trying to figure out if it was edible or not). It was that sort of formal.
