My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year, but I do try to get away for a month in

31 ---usually July. Now as you probably know that’s the main 32 season in Europe, the

favorite places for holiday and the famous cities are usually very crowded. But I’m not seeking

the sun---I get plenty of 33 in Hong Kong---and I’m certainly not seeking the crowds! So

when I go on holiday, I buy a Train Pass that allows me first class travel on most of the 34

of western Europe. First class compartment are 35 crowded and they are very comfortable.

If you’re going on an overnight journey, you can take a sleeping train for saving some extra

money. There are usually dining cars in the train.

I find that 36 travel is restful and 37 .There’s always something to see. I

particularly enjoy traveling through Switzerland and Italy. You can get a very good idea of what a

country is like from a train; you don’t go too fast and you can stop quite often. 38 train

travel is very safe and I am never sick on a train as I am on a ship! Then there are always people

to 39 if you feel like a chat with a stranger, and you can always find one.

The 40 why I seldom travel by plane is quite simple: as train stations are usually built in

the city center, I don’t have to worry about transport; transport can be a problem when arriving by

air, especially when you have some bags.
