Trips and Indians

The trip to Bodhgaya was pretty hard. They upgraded my ticket to 3AC, because there were no seats available so I could sleep but I arrived in Patna at 4.30 in the morning and had to go to Gaya. So I bought a train ticket for 6.15 but the guy told me the wrong platform, so I missed it (the announcements are Hindi only). Next one was at 8.30. A nice Brahmin helped me getting a seat (unreserved wooden seating class) and we talked for a couple of hours. He is manager in a bank and was pretty cool (same age as I am). He collects coins, so I gave him a 10 Euro Cent coin which he refused 2 times before accepting. Unfortunately another guy saw it and starting talking to me after the Brahmin left. He wanted a coin, too. Of course he didn’t get one and it was hard getting rid of him. After that I took a private autorickshaw to Bodhgaya which is like 15km from Gaya. Why are all the places you want to visit here completely off any form of decent transport network?
