After more than half a month, my journey through Germany is coming to an end. On the train and along the railway, the diverse European travelers have enriched my imagination.

◦ Close-knit Family Bonds
I once waited for a train on a cold night, one that arrived only once an hour. Nearby, there was a family with two children on an outing. The four of them huddled together, keeping each other warm on the chilly night.
Another time, in Rothenburg, everyone rushed to catch a departing train. The mother sprinted alongside her children, their laughter blending with shouts. Witnessing this lively scene while running alongside, I couldn't help but smile.
◦ Infrequent Use of Electronic Devices
In Taiwan, it is common for people to use their phones during commuting hours. However, on trains within Germany, it is rare to see people glued to their phones. Instead, the norm is to read books, observe others, and enjoy the scenery.
◦ Adventures Across Different Ages
Now, during the peak summer travel season in Europe, it is common to see young people carrying large backpacks, middle-aged individuals traveling with their families, and elderly folks going through trains with suitcases. As I age, I hope to embark on journeys without fear and return safely.
