Is it safe for a girl to wait alone for a night train in India? Based on my three experiences, I would say, " It's relatively safe."
Getting lost in India for three hours gave me a deeper understanding of the wealth inequality in the country.

Five years ago, when I first came to Germany, the Volksbühne in Berlin was the first theater I visited. Five years later, I finally had the opportunity to attend a performance inside the theater, and, incredibly, I was fortunate enough to witness the legendary device: the fire curtain!
Among the six productions I watched at this year's Berlin Theater Festival (Theatertreffen), "Die Vernichtung" from the Bern Theatre in Switzerland was my absolute favorite! I was so captivated that I was afraid to miss even a single captivating moment!
On the way to Berlin, my friend asked, "Do you know what food you should try in Berlin? The delicious Vietnamese pho!" I understood that she wasn't just talking about Vietnamese pho, but was highlighting that Berlin offers a variety of delicious international cuisines to try.
I really love the apartment we rented in Berlin! My friend and I each have our own bedroom and bathroom, and we also have a cozy shared living space for interaction. This way, we can enjoy a relaxed and undisturbed lifestyle. It's the ideal way for me to travel.
