Funny train story

Or how I ended up on a train in Italy at 3 am with The Snorer
A beautiful day of traveling through Hue - Vietnam was coming to a close when my buddy Mark and I decided it was time to head to the train station. Our plan was to be in Nha Trang by 9:00PM, grab some food, drink some wine, and then head to our hotel.

Unfortunately there weren't any trains heading directly to Nha Trang, so Mark asked at a help station how to get there.

"Well, where do we go Mark?"
"Uh... Nha Trang or something."
"Just check the train boards, it sounds something like that and it leaves at 5:15."

Well lo' and behold, there it was, Nha Trang! Except it was leaving at 5:10, not 5:15, and we only had a couple minutes to make it! We ran to the train and made it just in time, and there were even a few booths left available.

An hour or two later, the train conductor stopped by to check our tickets and find out where we were going. "We're headed to Hanoi." Blank stare as we are traveling back to where we have just been.

"You're going the opposite direction." Conductor said
He stared at us like we were idiots.
Oops.

By the time we got off the train and found one headed in the proper direction, it was getting late and the number of trains were dwindling. Around 10PM we found ourselves in Nha Trang. And about 3AM, a short, portly Vietnamese man entered our cabin, gave us some creepy glances, and then commenced what can only be described as a cacophony of noise sounding vaguely like a rabbit being sucked slowly through a two inch hole.

Two hours later, we took our first steps in Nha Trang. We stayed there for one day.
