Travel Companions

There is something poetic about traveling by train - from waiting at the railway station to the slow acceleration as the train gains momentum, speeding towards its destination. Landscapes swoops by as you gaze ahead in a trance-like state induced by the rhythmic chugging of wheels punctuated by screeches as the train makes a turn.

I had two things keeping me company during my trip up to Ipoh, a piece of lemon meringue pie and a book. Those two hours were pure bliss.
