If you have a long train journey, then the question will inevitably arise: what to do at this time? After all, it happens that a trip lasts several days, and you need to somehow while away them, being in a confined space without your usual entertainment.
The train is not such a hopeless place in terms of entertainment. Some people manage to have fun there, make friends and learn new board games. Of course, the best option is to travel with friends. Then you definitely won't be bored. Surely in your company there are certain entertainments, familiar games, for example, a crocodile. You can just talk, because close people will always have topics for long conversations.
Bring a book or magazine with you so that you can have enough for the entire trip if needed. This must be taken care of in advance. You can also buy fresh newspapers with crosswords, scanwords and other puzzles right at the station. Carried away, you yourself will not notice how time flies by solving an interesting problem.
You can always try to start a conversation with the neighbors in the compartment. Perhaps they will not wait for you to do this, and will speak to you first - after all, they are also bored with driving. If you're lucky, your neighbor may be a very interesting person from whom you can learn a lot. Even if you just have conversations about your life on the train, it can be very interesting and psychologically useful. It's amazing how much people are ready to reveal about themselves to the first comer, fellow traveler, whom they will never meet again. In conversations, sometimes they talk about things that some do not even tell their relatives about.
If you have a player, be sure to charge it at home and add your favorite music. Watching the passing landscapes, thinking about everything and about nothing with your favorite songs - this is a very pleasant part of traveling by train. Someone does not even think of a trip without a player.
Taking a laptop, tablet or smartphone with you, you can watch a movie on it. Perhaps your coupe neighbors will join you, then even a small carriage cinema may turn out. You may not have had time to watch some movies at home, but the train is a great place to do that.
When all electronic devices are discharged, then you can go to the good old board and other games. In each carriage, if the train travels for a long time, they must play cards. You can always join such a company. Sea battle, cities, and many other games that require only a partner and a piece of paper are also an excellent escape from boredom.
