Whose afraid of the big bad train conductors

Ok battery life is low and it's more important that I conserve this for important emails but let me give you what I can.

We took a night train from Paris to Rome because it was the last train for days, ok we kinds just got on without reservations but whatever. This douachebag conductor who had tons of empty rooms kept on saying no room finally we found a conductor who would take us, he interestingly had a pink luggage bag we assumed was left and he stole since he pocketed the money we paid to stay in a sleeper, and we will never ever ride a sleeper again! This huge black lady with a kchild of course had all her belongings brought with her on re train (she seriously had at least five bags and took up all the room. Anyway her child cried all night while she talked on the phone and would randomly yell at the child I the middle of the night. Not to mention it was at least 90 degrees in the room, as we say pofusely sweating we found out later that the black lady had put her bag on re air conditioner blocking all the cool air, I slammed open the window because no one was doing anything and everyone was awake and sweating their glands out. Anway in the morning me and Daniel heard the lday yelling/ hitting her child then woke up later and found the child like not moving with it's face in the bed, mother gone. We were like oh god I hope it isn't dead. (we may have joked about eating it because we hadn't eaten in 24 hours, give us a break.) anyway the mother finally came back and we had to find a csh machine in Rome to pay the corrupt train conductor. He was holding our passports hostage which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Oh well I'm going to give trenitalia an earful when I get to Prague.

Anyway finally in Rome we stayed in an awesome hostel outside the city for $7 a night. So boss! We met this weird French guy and fat American and later while eating magnum bars a bunch of german girls who we asked where they were from ad they stood around us awkwardly until we asked quetions. Some of their English was really good. We were set to meet them the next night or a disco party at the hostel. Later we met two weird American girls who were linda spoiled and talked to them til 4 in the morning, they gave us the rest of thee internet time since they were leaving so it was worthwhile :) ok running out of battery many adventures coming soon...
