The train ride to Mons (Belgium) -- my first train ride ever, except for the commuter train in Chicago -- was great. When I got to the train station in Amiens, with all my stuff, I asked a man for information, making sure to look helpless enough that he would offer to help me with my heavy suitcase, which he did. Turns out he was the train operator, and after noticing my Canadian accent and finding out this was my first ride ever, offered me to ride in the driver's cabin to Lille. It was AWESOME!
