My first time using my Eurail pass did not disappoint. I spent the 12-hour journey from Paris to Vienna with a Frenchman (originally from Austria) and a second-generation Asian Parisian who spoke considerably better English. We discussed everything from accents to food to wine to beer to travel. I was expecting to be in trouble when the ticket checker informed me that there were no electrical outlets on board, but it turned out that I had no need to watch shows on my porcuter. They were enough company. And since this overnight train was underbooked, each of us had one extra seat to prop our feet on. Still not as good as a couchette or sleeper, but it was endurable.
