Answer

Hi, it's Nick again. We started the day with a surprise - but not a good one. Anton and I went to the dining car for breakfast and there wasn't any food. That wasn't a big problem because I had some biscuits and we drank some tea, but then we went back for lunch and it was the same situation. The waiter told us that there's a station where they usually get food, but the food truck wasn't there. Nobody on the train was worried about this because almost everybody brought their own food. A guy called Egor gave us half of his roast chicken and a Chinese couple gave us some bread. People were so kind. Anton and I talked about how to thank them, so I taught them some English songs and it was really just a big party. My best day on the train!
