The Yangon Central Railway Station is old, and to match its age, is the train system. In a modern, developing country, one would be hard to make sense of the slowness – especially for travel – faster is always better – if cost is not a subject.
But after spent half an hour here, I started to realize what was lost in speed. In here, the train slowly came in, allowing the passengers plenty of time to do just about anything. And in the slowness, people maintain relationship in a different way, mostly nicer way. Read the letter, proper farewell and daughter father have a quality time together such as the image here.
There were many great literatures written on train and many about trains, when the speed of travel is slow. Today, they are long lost.
