when a holiday comes, the most ghastful thing to me is to buy a train ticket to go home. i can't book it anywhere because no agency could assure to get one. it always take me several hours to stand in a line to try the last hope to buy one from the window which ended everytime with despair. what about your country?

there is also book online service in china, but when i chose the train which take me home, the result is always turns to be "there's no ticket left". maybe my home is too good or too bad to go.

It is common that the traffic is busy during the holidays. And also, how to get a ticket becomes a problem. Usually, I ask an agency to help book the ticket for the train. Of course, you have to pay some fees. Sometimes, it is possible even the agency can hardly get a single ticket. When I am in such an embarrassed situation, I will turn to the airlines. Comparatively speaking, it is much easier to get a flight ticket than the train one.
